ada-chipA CHIP-8 emulator written in Ada (as an exercise for learning Ada). Supports the entire instruction set from the "SUPER-CHIP specification from 1991 (but without the additional opcodes that provide extended functionality)".BuildingUse Alire to build ada-chip: alr build.RunningJust pass the CHIP-8 ROM that you would like to run as an argument: ada_chip game.ch8.Configuration(TODO: allow command line settings)In src/ada_chip.adb, Steps_Per_Frame can be configured for the number of CPU cycles to run between render updates. Different ROMs seem to benefit from faster (e.g. 16) to slower (e.g. 8) settings.Input controls follow the CHIP-8 spec which are keys A through F and 0 through 9.IssuesSome ROMs do not work well, particularly with rendering; however, other emulators appear to have the same problems. Please only report an issue if you can prove that this emulator is doing something incorrectly.Useful linkskripod/chip8-roms: ROMs to try out.CHIP-8 Archive: More ROMs.CHIP-8 Technical ReferenceCHIP-8 Wikipedia entry
