A revision of my CPPBOY project aiming for higher performance and better code "readability"

CPPBOY-revised

Description

CPPBOY is a simple gameboy emulator written in C++ and is based on my depricated CPPBOY project. This project was started mainly to learn more about the way computers work. I chose the gameboy since it provides a good balance between difficulty and fun. The project is still very much work in progress and any help is welcome.

Prerequisites

To be able to build the CPPBOY-revised project you should have the following libaries installed:

• SFML 2.5.1 or newer

Building the CPPBOY-revised executable also requires you to have the latest version of Make and CMake installed on your computer.

Build Instructions

Clone the CPPBOY repository

git clone https://github.com/robbelbobel/cppboy-revised

Navigate to the CPPBOY repository

cd cppboy-revised

Create a build folder and open it

mkdir build
cd build

Initialize the build folder using cmake

cmake ..

Build the application with make

make

Usage

The emulator should be executed in the terminal by using the following command:

./cppboy [ROMPATH]

The emulator is unable to boot without a correct ROM path.
