CHIP-8 Emulator

CHIP-8 Welcome screen

This project is a C/C++ implementation of a CHIP-8 emulator, a simple virtual machine designed to run classic games from the 1970s. The emulator uses the Allegro5 library for graphics and input handling, making it cross-platform and compatible with both Linux and Windows systems.

The emulator interprets CHIP-8 opcodes, manages memory, display, keyboard input, and timers, faithfully recreating the behavior of original CHIP-8 programs. It supports loading ROM files and running a variety of retro games.

Key features:
– Written in C/C++ for performance and portability
– Uses Allegro5 for graphics and input
– Supports loading and running CHIP-8 ROMs
– Faithful emulation of CHIP-8 instructions and timers
