Chip-8 emulator written in Go

bag of chippys

Welcome to Chippy 👋

Using go version 1.14 Go Report Card License: MIT

Chippy is a CHIP-8 emulator that runs Chip-8 public domain roms. The Chip 8 actually never was a real system, but more like a virtual machine (VM) developed in the 70’s by Joseph Weisbecker. Games written in the Chip 8 language could easily run on systems that had a Chip 8 interpreter.

Current sources:

Installation

go install github.com/bradford-hamilton/chippy

I am still getting a bunch of deprecation warnings when building. If you see those warnings just ignore them.

The screen uses CGO which isn't supported by go-releaser :( which means unfortunately I don't have a nice releases section with binaries for multiple systems.

Usage

Run

Default clock speed: 60Hz

chippy run roms/pong.ch8

Set clock speed with flag

chippy run roms/pong.ch8 --refresh=300
