chip8-emulator

My own take on a very simple chip8 emulator, using rust and the wgpu project.

Features

• Cross-platform
• Fast wgpu backend
• Working Keyboard & Audio

Usage

Download any chip8 rom from the internet. Eg. space_invaders.ch8:

cd chip8-emulator
cargo run -- space_invaders.ch8

Keyboard

The following keys can be used to control the emulator:

|1|2|3|4|
|Q|W|E|R|
|A|S|D|F|
|Z|X|C|V|

Resources

• CHIP-8
• wgpu

TODO's

• Implement multithreading to reduce lag.
• Implement pixel-art upscaling shader.
• Refactor code.
• Fix key polling.
