Hey all.
I just thought I'd release this Chip-8 emulator I ported last night.
It's nothing fancy, but it does what it should. I also included a simple file brower so you can select any game you want.
It uses the D-pad and the X, O etc for input so in some games you might have to search through the buttons to find what each one of them does :P

You can return to the file browser at any time by pressing the START button.

I included quite a few PD roms so you don't have to search for roms.

X = Select.

And no, this doesn't have any potential to become better since I'm not going to spend any more time on it. It was mostly for learning experience but I thought, heck why not release? Some people might enjoy it.

great work. Always good to see a emu dev come on the scene.

Is a source included? I've been trying to port a emulator for a long time.I have to rewrite the graphical and control output. The makefile comes out good enough i suppose. If i can peak at the source that would be great. Would really help me on future developments. :)

Thanks :D I'm having a look at the Z80 processor now. But I don't really understand everything.. Like the flags. Do you know any good tutorial that explains it? And how to do it in C?

Just uploaded the source code for anyone who wants to have a look at it ;)

There are already so many z80 emulators you have the choice (http://www.zophar.net/z80.html). If you want to begin a z80 emulator from scratch, i'm sure you can find complete z80 datasheet on the web ...

Nice, i'm sure it will be helpful for many coders who want to port something to the PSP.
