notes: |
|
|
JAXE is a CHIP-8, SCHIP, and XO-CHIP emulator by Kurtis Dinelle,
|
|
ported to libretro. Supports .ch8, .sc8, .xo8, and .hc8 ROMs.
|
|
|
|
No external BIOS or font files required. The core has firmware_count = 0
|
|
in jaxe_libretro.info and never calls RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SYSTEM_DIR.
|
|
|
|
Font data is hardcoded in chip8_load_font() at src/chip8.c:119-168.
|
|
The standard 4x5 hex font (0-F, 80 bytes) is loaded at address 0x000,
|
|
and the SCHIP 8x10 big hex font (0-F, 160 bytes) follows immediately
|
|
after at address 0x050. Both are written directly into chip8->RAM[]
|
|
during chip8_reset() -> chip8_load_font().
|
|
|
|
Memory layout from include/chip8.h:42-45:
|
|
0x000-0x04F standard font (NUM_FONT_BYTES = 80)
|
|
0x050-0x0EF big font (NUM_BIG_FONT_BYTES = 160)
|
|
0x0F0-0x0FF stack (STACK_SIZE = 16)
|
|
0x100-0x10F audio buffer (AUDIO_BUF_SIZE = 16)
|
|
0x200+ program ROM (PC_START_ADDR_DEFAULT)
|
|
|
|
The fonts/dbgfont.ttf file in the repo is only used by the standalone
|
|
build (src/main.c:19) for the SDL debugger overlay, not by the
|
|
libretro core.

|
notes: |
|
|
All font/sprite data is compiled into the binary. The standard
|
|
CHIP-8 hex font (5 bytes per character, 16 characters) and the
|
|
SCHIP big hex font (10 bytes per character, 16 characters) are
|
|
stored as a static array in chip8_load_font() and copied into
|
|
RAM on every reset. No file I/O is performed for BIOS or fonts.
