Chip-8

My Chip-8 emulator written in Rust for both SDL2 and HTML5

https://github.com/aquova/chip8

This is not meant to an efficient, or really even a used emulator. I have always been curious about emulator development, and figured I needed to start somewhere.

The games included in games are not of my own creation, they are from several different sources and included here for ease of use.

Usage

  • SDL2: If cargo is installed, the emulator can be run via cargo run path/to/game from within the parent directory.
  • WASM: The wasm-pack build tool must be installed first. Then the WASM version can be run via the build-wasm.sh script, then loading the webpage in web in a webserver.

Limitations

  • The emulator is quite buggy, I'm pretty sure the math on some opcode is wrong somewhere.

  • The WebAssembly build also doesn't handle random number generation correctly, so many games will have the same random element chosen every time
