CHIP8Emu

Emulator for CHIP8. Written with SDL2, but target is to emulate on console and maybe native macOS.

Design

CHIP8 design

CHIP8 includes:

• 16 8-bit registers (V0-VF)
• 16-bit Index register
• 64-byte stack with 8-bit Stack Pointer
• 8-bit delay timer
• 8-bit sound timer
• 64x32 bit frame buffer
• 16 bit Program Counter

Application Design

Emulator should have the ability to debug programs and load/unload them with GUI. For now, only SDL2 implementation is planned.

Targets

Later, it should build on multiple platforms, and multiple frameworks:

• SDL2
• Core Graphics (native macOS build)
• Terminal emulation (ncurses)
