Usage

$ c8dasm chip8file

Example

$ c8dasm MAZE
200:a21e  LD I, 21e     ;Puts 21e into register I.
202:c201  RND V2, 01    ;Puts random byte AND 01 into register V2.
204:3201  SE V2, 01     ;Skip next instruction if V2 = 01.
206:a21a  LD I, 21a     ;Puts 21a into register I.
208:d014  DRW V0, V1, 4 ;Draws 4-byte sprite from I at (V0, V1)
20a:7004  ADD V0, 04    ;V0 = V0 + 04.
20c:3040  SE V0, 40     ;Skip next instruction if V0 = 40.
20e:1200  JP 200        ;Jump to location 200.
210:6000  LD V0, 00     ;Puts the value 00 into register V0.
212:7104  ADD V1, 04    ;V1 = V1 + 04.
