A little Chip-8 emulator written in Rust using SDL

Chippers

Overview

This project is a Chip-8 emulator written in Rust using SDL. Chip-8 is an interpreted programming language developed in the mid-1970s, used on some microcomputers and graphing calculators. This emulator aims to replicate the Chip-8 environment, allowing users to run Chip-8 programs and games.

Features

• Accurate Emulation: Faithfully emulates the Chip-8 instruction set and behavior.
• Cross-Platform: Runs on multiple operating systems, leveraging Rust's cross-platform capabilities.

Installation

To install this emulator, ensure you have Rust installed on your system. You can download Rust from the official website.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/nsaritzky/chippers

# Navigate to the project directory
cd chippers

# Build the project
cargo build --release

Usage

After installation, you can run the emulator with:

cargo run -- [path-to-chip-8-program]

Replace [path-to-chip-8-program] with the path to a Chip-8 ROM file you wish to run.
