AKCemu for short, is a Chip-8 emulator made with C++ using OpenGL 3.3 as its graphics backend, it also uses SFML audio module for sounds, and GLFW for windowing and input handling
From terminal opened inside "bin" folder run:
./akcemu ../<your rom name>.ch8
or if you want to specify a resolution
./akcemu <height> <width> <your rom name>.ch8
if any errors occured, a log file will auto-generate containing what error happened
The emulator uses keyboard keys {1,2,3,4,Q,W,E,R,A,S,D,F,Z,X,C,V} , although not tested in other languages' layouts, it's recommended to change your keyboard language to English before running the emulator
With Meson Build System and prerequisites installed on your machine, run:
meson builddir --buildtype=release
cd builddir
ninja
