Java Chip-8 Emulator

Chip-8 emulator written in Java, with the target of learning how emulators work. It has a comprehensive set of tests (every CPU instruction) as well as a lot of comments so it is easily understandable.

Currently it has these features:

  • Runs all Chip-8 games (Not Chip-48) flawlessly.
  • Frequency can be changed before launching the emulator.
  • Sound implemented.
  • Displays by stdout time to emulate 1 second of emulated-system.

How to run

Just run the Main class, or execute gradle run in the root directory of project. To change loaded rom, edit Main.java.

Roms

Roms are located in "roms" directory at root directory. Note that, although frequency by default is set to 500Hz, different games require different frequencies.
