A chip 8 emulator written in rust
- https://github.com/kripod/chip8-roms for providing a nice collection of roms to test with
- http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/chip8/C8TECH10.HTM#2.5 solid technical reference I used
- The maintainers of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP-8 which I also used as technical reference
- https://ajor.co.uk/chip8/chip8.html for a nice emulator to compare behaviour against
- https://github.com/corax89/chip8-test-rom the first test rom I used
- https://github.com/Skosulor/c8int/tree/master/test the second more thorough test rom I used
keyboard mapping:
Keypad Keyboard
1 2 3 C 1 2 3 4
4 5 6 D -> Q W E R
7 8 9 E A S D F
A 0 B F Z X C V
Eg. Pong uses 1 and 4 to move the paddels, on the keyboard this is 1 and Q
Requires a chip8_rust_config.toml file, with a rom path to load eg:
rom = roms\Pong.ch8
Also configuratble:
volume = 0.3
instructions_per_cycle = 10
The release zip includes this, but if you delete it, its simple enough to recreate by hand.
Just clone and cargo run
Should work on windows, linux, and macos
See https://github.com/kripod/chip8-roms for roms to try
