Installation and Running

Cloning:

git clone https://github.com/jlofti/Chip8Emulator.git
git submodule init
cd Chip8Emulator
git submodule update --init --recursive

Note: be sure SDL2 is installed!

Build and Run:

cd Chip8Emulator
cd build
make -j4
./Chip8Emulator -ROM {path} -FPS {FPS}

Command line inputs are only partially validated so don't go too crazy 😬. Place your roms in the rom folder. I think 540 is accurate for FPS

Example:

/Chip8Emulator -ROM pong.ch8 -FPS 540
