CHIP-8 Emulator

This project is a CHIP-8 emulator developed in C and C++. It aims to accurately emulate the behavior of the CHIP-8 virtual machine, allowing users to run classic CHIP-8 programs and games.

Features

• Accurate emulation of CHIP-8 instructions
• Support for loading and executing CHIP-8 programs
• Simple and intuitive interface

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• CMake
• A C/C++ compiler

Building the Project

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Auth0x78/CHIP-8.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd CHIP-8

3. Create a build directory and navigate into it:

   mkdir build
   cd build

4. Run CMake to configure the project:

   cmake ..

5. Build the project:

   make

Usage

After building the project, you can run the emulator by executing the generated binary. Ensure you have a CHIP-8 program file to load into the emulator.

./chip8

An windows with load rom button will be there, click on it and load a CHIP-8 ROM File. Then unselect the PAUSE check button to start emulation.
