sprocketnes is an emulator for the Nintendo Entertainment System written in
the Rust programming language.
Its purpose is to serve as a technology demonstration to show how the Rust
programming language is suitable for systems software such as emulators. It
has many shortcomings and is not intended to be a production-quality emulator.sprocketnes is also designed to be a relatively clean example codebase,
showing off various Rust idioms. The Rust garbage collector is not used in
this project, and unsafe code is kept to a minimum.
The NES was chosen for this project because:
It's familiar to most hackers.
It's a reasonably simple system to emulate.
Because of its popularity, its workings are relatively well-documented.
It requires decent processing power to emulate accurately with proper graphics and sound, so it's a good demonstration of the performance of Rust code.
The controls are as follows:
A: Z
B: X
Start: Enter
Select: Right shift
D-Pad: Arrows
If you want to build sprocketnes, you will first need rust-sdl, available
at https://github.com/brson/rust-sdl
There are numerous demos and games available for free for use with this emulator at http://nesdev.com/.
Enjoy!
