Penguin Chip 8 Emulator

Penguin is a very simple Chip 8 emulator/interpreter programmed in the C language. The goal with penguin is to support almost any platform smoothly.

Building Penguin

• Penguin requires SDL for graphics and input, so you'll need libsdl.
• Make sure you are using std=c99 when compiling.

Tested on OSX and Linux

Planed Features

• Support for all 35 opcodes
• No platform-specific/graphics code except in main.c (Should be runnable on almost every platform)

Current Version

• Supports almost every opcode perfectly

Bugs/Unimplemented features

bug Creates an infinite loop on some games (PONG, PONG2) (probably due to error in opcode(s)) FIXED!

unimplemented feature No sound

Purpose

I made this emulator for learning/educational purposes only. I wanted to get more familiar with emulation and the C language.

Software is provided as is.
