Rust no_std implementation of the chip8 virtual machine.
The chip8 is implemented as a library to be used like a backend. The frontend
must implement a way to call Chip8::frame() at 60 frames, and handle keyboard
events, output a tone, and draw the framebuffer into a display.
This repository contains two frontend implementation for two platforms:
- Linux (Using SDL2 for display drawing, keyboard events and tone)
- STM32F103 (Using pcd8544-hal for display drawing and stm32f1xx-hal for keybard, tone and main loop).
I built the STM32 version using a Blue
Pill
in a portable form. I call it E2SPA Mk I which stands for Electronic
Entertainment System for the Post Apocalypse.
