      <ul>
          <li><b>yacemu (Yet Another Chip Eight Emulator):</b> A CHIP-8 emulator written in C</li>

      </ul>
      This project taught me a lot of practical hands-on things about Computer Architecture. Designing the hardware driver for the ST7920 LED display was 
      the most challenging part. Debugging hardware adds a lot of complications, you don't get breakpoints or a nice debugger like gdb. Additionally, 
      interference, faulty wires, timing, and debouncing all throw wrenches into the mix.
