I guess the only way to debug games is possibly by using the ide's debugger/gdb and sort of debug alongside looking at the source code of the game if you have it, I notice the emulator works pretty well but certain games have minor bugs -- I guess that's what makes emulation such a challenge - Anyways great course, going to try and apply it to a 6502

Hello, Yes debugging is difficult because its the CHIP-8 instruction set but setting a bunch of breakpoints in GDB on all the instructions we are emulating is a good way to do it Thanks Dan
