This course is ideal for anyone who has programming experience and always dreamed of creating their own emulator one day, or would love to create an emulator but just does not know where to start. Even someone who has attempted to create an emulator in the past and fail can greatly benefit from this course.
In this course, we will create new classes in JavaScript for each piece of hardware, to emulate the memory, the display, the sound card, and the keyboard, after that, we will jump into the so expect Chip-8, we will first implement its registers and then we will implement each of its 35 opcodes. After you complete this course you will have a fully functioning Chip-8 emulator that is capable to run hundreds of rooms available freely on the internet.
