Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
CHIP8
Full instruction-level emulator for the CHIP-8 Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). This emulator uses OPENGL for the actual CHIP8 graphics support and for other functional GUI features (load new ROM, etc.).
How to Build
To build, please run make from src/.
How to Run
The emulator automatically scans its directory and all sub-directories (and sub-sub-directories, etc.) for CHIP8 ROM binaries (any file with .c8 extension). Once the emulator is launched, please click anywhere and hover over "Load ROM" menu option. All your ROMs should be populated there. If you can't find your binary there, please ensure the file you want to run has the extension ".c8" and is in the same folder (or its subfolders) as the emulator. Some sample roms can be found under the src/build/sample_roms folder in this repository.
