chip-8 is a CHIP-8 emulator/interpreter written using the Rust programming language.

• Rust
• Cargo - Rust's package manager, necessary for building and running the program
• SDL2 - library/crate used for organizing the UI
• Any CHIP-8 ROM that you can find on the Internet (example)
• The one and only chip-8 interpreter (downloaded by git clone'ing this repo)

All installation guides are provided in respective links.

To run a ROM, pass the location of the ROM file as a command line argument on cargo run.

cargo run [path-to-ROM]

Alternatively, you can build the release version with cargo build --release and then launch the executable from target directory; method of passing the ROM is still the same.

cargo build --release
cd /target/release
./chip-8 [path-to-ROM]
