CHIP-8 Emulator

Summary

A simple emulator for the CHIP-8 virtual console, written in Rust.

That's my first serious project in Rust, where I try to experiment graphics

features.

The rendering and windowing is made using the macroquad game library.

Origin

Since I discovered emulators when I was younger, I wanted to do one, to learn

how it was made.

Before emulating a known console like the Gameboy or the NES, I had to find a

lower target, and searching "how to write an emulator" on

your favorite search engine, I heard of CHIP-8 as a de-facto first emulator

target.

Technically, I wanted to use a "low-level" language, and I wanted to try Rust.

So there you go, a CHIP-8 emulator made in Rust.

During the development, I wanted to use more graphics features, and write a

step-by-step debugger, so I made a graphical debugger for the CHIP-8 embedded

in the emulator.

Features

• Supports most CHIP-8 (with early SUPERCHIP-8 support)

• Command-line driven emulator (chip8-cli), with a CLI debugger

• GUI emulator (chip8-gui), with an embedded graphical debugger (TUI-like

experience)

• Cartridge assembler/disassembler

• Make your own CHIP-8 game!

• Save-state system
