Rust-8

chip8 emulator written in rust, using rust-sdl2 for graphics.

Features

Fully implemented all 35 original chip8 opcodes. This emulator does NOT support chip8 variants such as super-chip8, chip48 or xo-chip (may be implemented in a future release)

Building

pre-requisites: libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev in root dir: cargo build --release the executable will be at ./target/release/rust-8

Running

binary expects the rom's .ch8 file to be in the same directory as it invoke using: ./rust-8 romname.ch8

Binaries

sdl throws a million errors when trying to build a portable executable, so pre-built binaries will be included in a future release
