This is the repository of a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator in active development. The emulator is not currently complete but can run and partially display a ROM. Note that the project may support Windows and MacOS, but was only tested on Linux. Here is how to run the project:

  • Change the rom_path at line 26 of main.c
  • Generate the Makefile with CMake: cmake .
  • Build the project with Make: make
  • Run the emulator: ./nes_emulator

Controls

  • P: Pauses the emulation (CPU)
  • Ctrl+P: Pauses the emulation and the PPU rendering
  • O: Go to the next palette in the pattern viewer
  • T: Show tile IDs
    • N: Switch low/high pattern data

Dependencies

  • GCC compiler
  • CMake
  • SDL
