CHIP-8 Emulator

This CHIP-8 emulator was developed based on the specifications provided in this technical reference guide. It has been thoroughly tested using this set of test programs to ensure accurate emulation of the CHIP-8 system.

Requirements

To run this project, you need to install the raylib graphics library. The installation steps vary depending on your operating system, as described below.

Installing raylib

macOS

To install raylib on macOS, use Homebrew:

brew install raylib

Linux

For Ubuntu-based systems, run the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texus/raylib
sudo apt install libraylib5-dev

For other Linux distributions, refer to the official installation guide here.

Windows

For Windows, download the latest installer or follow the setup instructions provided here.

Building the Project

Once raylib is installed, you can build the project by running the following commands in the project directory:

cmake -B build
cmake --build build

Make sure that raylib is correctly installed and accessible by your compiler.

CMake will automatically generate the appropriate build files for your platform. You will need a compatible C++ compiler and CMake version 3.15 or later installed.

Additional Notes

• Ensure that your compiler supports C++11 or later.
• The emulator has been tested across multiple platforms to verify compatibility.

With everything set up, you should be ready to run the CHIP-8 emulator and explore its functionality!
