[secretemu]

:huh: every where i go i am told what to do to create an emulator but they dont tell my how i create it can someone help please :bye3:

can you create an emu in dev c++ :evil:

Yes, you can make emulators with DevC++ just as with any other compiler or even (almost) any other programming language, though C/C++ is the language I've found is best for writing emulators in general.

Now, go to
http://www.goldroad.co.uk/

Click "emulation" to the left, and check out the various stuff there. This will give you a good start. Also look around in this very forum..

thanks a lot can i come back if i find any more problems (again thanks lads)

 

[secretemu]

i just went to the site but it does not have an already made source of the chip 8
what i need is an example to show me how its done :huh:

 

[ector]

mm, if you can't write a chip8 emulator from the tutorial and the documentation that is available all over the web maybe you should get a little better at C/C++ first.. though there are lots of opensource chip8 emulators around, google or look over at zophar.net

Looking at source will not help if you do not understand the concepts.

This looks like it might be useful to you: http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=Writing an emulator

In the Chip 8 thread here, there are several sources posted too...

There's no need to read source code. If anything, it probably will confuse you further.
