Thought it was a fun idea to implement a very basic emulator so I did just that! My CHIP-8 emu can run most vanilla ROMs without problems. It’s a simple 8bits computer with a rather reduced instruction set, so it wasn’t too much pain to get things going.
I used the publicly available ROMs for testing as well as a bunch of custom unit tests. I have to say it was a fun little side projet, especially since I didn’t have to write any of the games for it, just load that ROM and here we go!
As usual, the source code is available on GitHub.
If you want to join the fun and make your own, here’s a rather complete documentation to get you going!
Here are a bunch of screenshots:
