Just moved over from the other place! 🦋
To kick things off, here’s my Chip-8 emulator I’ve been building. It’s been a fun dive into low-level systems and opcode handling.

The IBM-Logo is the "Hello World" of programming a Chip-8 emulation.
Why?
If you develop a Chip-8 emulation, the IBM-logo-ROM only needs six Chip-8 commands, so one can test the first steps of the implementation.

I have been thinking about an idea for some time now:
A implementation of a CHIP-8 emulation for the DB48X.
Today I started this project using a DB48X simulation on MAC OS.

Have you heard of CHIP-8 and Octo?
CHIP-8 is an interpreted, minimalist programming language, made in the mid-1970s. Octo is an IDE for CHIP-8.
CHIP-8 is implemented for any hardware platform.
Lots of games, for instance:

Several months ago, I became interested in emulation, and it led to me developing Chippy, a CHIP-8 emulator written in C#.

New post in the Chip-8 emulation series! This time we take a look at graphics, and just enough control flow to run something meaningful. At the end we'll be able to run a little graphical program with our emulator.

I've removed the std dependency on my Chip8 emulator's core crate, also beaten breakout game for the first time.
The code is available on forgejo[1]

Just uploaded another article in the Chip-8 Emulation series. This time we'll look at decoding instructions, and extracting all the information needed to understand what the program is trying to do.

Found a nice article on getting started with SDL2 in Rust[1] and I've written a simple sdl2 display backend for my chip8 emulator. Going to remove the std dependency on the core someday

New article in the "Build a Chip-8 Emulator" series is up! This time we'll see how an emulator runs programs, and build the basic "main loop" of our emulator.

Came back to the chip8 emulator project and refactored it to use workspaces. I have one library crate for the core and one binary crate for the Terminal UI program. I'd like to implement a binary crate that uses SDL as well, and remove the standard library dependency from the core crate.

Modified my Chip8 emulator's display rendering code and now it looks much better. I got inspired another emulation project written in Rust with ratatui. I thought I need to draw everything inside the canvas, didn't know I could draw individual blocks.

I've just started a series on building a Chip-8 emulator. This is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning about emulation. This time we cover how computers run programs, and look at what Chip-8 can do.

I've finished implementing the Chip8 emulator in #rustlang. Currently playing a space invaders ROM on it.
I'm not sure what to do next, probably write unit tests and try to add a SDL backend then probably port it to the Raspberry Pi Pico.

I've finished implementing[1] all the instructions for my Chip8 emulator and I've successfully played Pong and Breakout in the terminal.

I've been parsing the instructions wrong this whole time in my Chip8 emulator. Given an instruction like 0x801E my code would see it as 0x8010, I found this while writing an unit test. The emulator's behaviour was confusing.
