chip8.rs

chip8.rs is an emulator for the CHIP-8 interpreted game language, written in Rust.

Building

macOS

1. Install the SDL2 framework from the libsdl website. Future versions may require SDL2_ttf.
2. Make sure that your Rust build environment is up to date.
3. cargo run should build and launch the emulator with a default game.

Linux

1. Install SDL2 development packages through apt, or whatever your package manager is.
2. cargo run should build and launch the emulator with a default game.

Usage

Pass the path to a CHIP-8 ROM to load that ROM instead of the default game. Some public-domain example games are included in the roms/c8games directory.
