This course is great for anyone who has programming experience and would love to create an emulator but just does not know where to start or has attempted to do it but ran into problems
You are taken through every step of emulator creation, throughout this course we start by setting up our project, then we start writing code to emulate the display and keyboard from the era. We soon move to simulating the entire Chip-8 instruction set.
After you complete this course you will have a fully functioning Chip-8 emulator that can run space invaders, pong and many other classic games.
You must be confident in the C programming language
You must understand hexadecimal
You must understand bitwise operators and bit shifting

The course does a good job of walking you through technical documentation and helping you understand what you’re reading. The actual coding and learning process isn’t great though. Purely following along by video doesn’t do much for retention. Videos are nice for explanation of things like technical documentation, but there needs to be an actual course structure in place

No nonsense to the point development, exactly what it says on the tin. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, sometimes it was a little too quick for me, but that just made me learn faster :-) All in all I'd highly recommend this course, lays a good foundation for moving on to other emulation projects.

I love your courses sir, really clear "hello, world" for emulators. Will definitely purchase other things.
