README

        
chip8 is a CHIP-8 emulator developed in C using the SDL2 multimedia library. It

emulates a standard CHIP-8 machine and implements all the opcodes that the

specification provides.

To emulate a binary ROM just provide the file as an argument:

    $ chip8 ~/roms/TETRIS.bin

You can have more information by reading the software manual at the following

locations:

* http://www.danirod.es/chip8/docs/current/manual/ (online manual).

* http://www.danirod.es/chip8/docs/current/chip8.pdf (PDF manual).

In order to compile this project you will need to have SDL 2.0 headers and

libraries in your machine. Head to www.libsdl.org to get those in case you

still haven’t got them or get them using your package manager if your operating

system has any.

After installing SDL 2.0 you can download the software distribution and install

it via the following commands:

    autoreconf --install  # Only if you are using the Git repository

    ./configure

    make

    make install

    make check  # Optional: to test the emulator -- libcheck is required
