Chip8Emu

This is a Chip8 emulator created in C++.

Compatiblity

This emulator is compatible with both Windows and Linux systems.

Usage

1. Build the project, alternatively you can download it from the Releases page.

If you're building the project from source make sure to use --recurse-submodules when cloning it.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mirage2032/Chip8Emu.git

This is needed as it uses SDL2 as a submodule in order to build it as a static library link against it.

If you're downloading the project from the Releases page make sure to download the correct one depending on the operating system you're using.

Chip8Emu for Linux based systems and Chip8Emu.exe for Windows.
