Chip-8

Simple but extensively documented Chip-8 emulator implemented in Rust. It's my first glance at the emulation world and my first serious Rust project.

Thanks to Austin Morlan for sharing an amazing post of the Chip-8, which I used as reference for this project.

Requirements

• Rust toolchain (rustc, cargo)

Tested on Fedora 36, rustc and cargo 1.68.2

Building

$ cargo build [--relase]

Note: Use the optional release flag for maximum performance!

Running

A valid Chip-8 ROM is required. You can use the ones in this repo, which were provided by zophar.

$ cargo run -- (path-to-your-rom)

For example, if you want to run the classic Pong:

$ cargo run -- ./roms/PONG
