Chip8 Simulator

This is a work in progress, but the example Chip8 programs I find seem to work with it. I think I only need to implement the sound timer. There is no rate limiting so your programs might blaze. You can enable/disable the debugger by hitting tab, where you can step forward through machine instructions with the spacebar.

To run a Chip8 program you can either

  • Run bin/bchip program.c8 where program.c8 is a binary file. Or
  • Run scripts/runhex.sh [0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF] to run a program in the form of a hex string (e.g. the output of http:https://johnearnest.github.io/Octo/).

To compile you need the development library for SDL2.

You can find some example programs here: http:https://johnearnest.github.io/Octo/
