It's a fairly basic Chip-8 emulator with debugging tools that focuses on customizability. \n\nCheck out my newer [Chip-8 emulator](https://github.com/omrawaley/chip8-emulator-rust) written in Rust.\n\n## Authors\n\n- [@omrawaley](https://www.github.com/omrawaley)\n\n\n## Demo\n\n![demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/omrawaley/chip-8-emulator/main/demo.gif)\n\n\n## Features\n\n- Load ROMs from CLI or GUI\n- Reset ROMs\n- Adjust ROM speed\n- Pause ROMs\n- Customize display colors\n- Take screenshots\n- Edit and view memory\n- View registers, stack, and timers at runtime\n- Adjust program counter while paused\n\nA Chip-8 assembler that I've written can be found at https://github.com/omrawaley/chip-8-assembler.\n\n\n## Installation\n\nUse the provided `CMakeLists.txt` and compile with `make`.\n\n```bash\n  cmake CMakeLists.txt\n  make\n```\n    \n## Usage\n\n```bash\n./bin/chip8 \u003cpath-to-rom\u003e\n```\n\n### Keys\nP - Pause ROM.\n\nM - Open settings menu.\n\nN - Open debug panes.\n\n## Todo\n- ~~Migrate from C-style arrays to `std::array`~~\n- ~~Allow the user to modify IPS rather than frame time~~\n- Add more CLI arguments\n- Allow the user to step through the program\n- ~~Migrate away from using `tellg()` and instead use `file_size()`~~\n\n## License\n\nChip-8 emulator - [GPLv3](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html)\n\n[Dear ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) - [MIT](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/)\n\n[stb_image_write.h](https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/stb_image_write.h) - Public Domain\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fomrawaley%2Fchip-8-emulator","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fomrawaley%2Fchip-8-emulator","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fomrawaley%2Fchip-8-emulator/lists"}
