A CHIP-8 emulator. Written such that the frontend (as in, input and rendering) is separate from the backend, so the emulator backend could be used as a library not tied to any specific framework (the backend is even no_std).
| Keyboard | CHIP-8 |
|---|---|
| 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 C |
| Q W E R | 4 5 6 D |
| A S D F | 7 8 9 E |
| Z X C V | A 0 B F |
I'm not very confident in audio generation, but it sort-of works. As far as other instructions, the emulator has been manually tested on the following ROMs:
And I have automated testing for Timendus's test suite in chip8-core/tests/.
Note that none of these tests specifically check for SUPER-CHIP and XO-CHIP instructions or functionality (other than the "Quirks" test in Timendus's suite), so the guarantees on those emulators' accuracies are much weaker.
- documentation
- finish the stubbed debug console
- quick save / quick load
- configurable keys
- rapid-fire keys (maybe by holding shift?)
- keys to pause, fast-forward, slow-motion, step forward
- screen-shot and/or record keys
- dialog to change emulator mode (i.e. Cosmac, SUPER-CHIP, XO-CHIP)
- web frontend
