CHIP-8\nA Chip-8 Emulator Written In C\n\n---\n## About\nthis is my first step into low-level stuff, i look forward on building more emulators \u0026 once i have some money i want to build a small computer with a 6502 or a z80.\n\nchip-8 is kinda like a \"specification\" which decribes how a chip-8 machine should work, i am not aware of any \"true\" chip-8 cpu but it's quite easy to build a emulator of.\n\n---\n## Accuracy\ni tried to make the emulator as accurate as possible and for that i used [chip-8 test suite](https://github.com/Timendus/chip8-test-suite), which provides many roms to test various things like opcodes, flags etc.\n\n\u003cp float=\"left\" align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg

run the executable and pass a path to a rom...\n\n---\n#
