Chip8 Emulgator v0.0.1-snap

First usable release.

Features:

• most of emulator core controlled through menu with shortcuts
• support for 2 windows with independent view processing (theme / heuristics)
• 3 themes: original COSMAC VIP, with borders around pixels and brick game clone
• basic drag and drop support (drag files into display)
• basic game profile support (compatibility, for those included in the release)
• basic live view of core parameters: fps, CPU frequency, timers.
• when opened without file, loads Boot-128 (written by David Winter) which allows editing of program memory which then can be executed by doing soft reset (e.g. typing 1000 will create infinite loop in bootloader).
• supports both class path (chip8-cpe.sh) and module path (chip8-mpe.sh) startup on Linux
• direct key mapping 0-9, A-F maps to 0x0 - 0xF

Known issues:

• visual glitches on windows (especially with Windows L&F, app developed on Linux, only minor testing on Windows)

Requirements:
Java 11 properly installed ($JAVA_HOME set)
