Build Instructions (Windows and MinGW)

1. Put SDL2 inside "deps" folder in project root directory.
2. mkdir build
3. cd build
4. cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
5. mingw32-make
6. ./main.exe <ROM> <Scale> <Delay in hz>

Notes

The version of SDL2 used is 2.0.22.

I have only tested on windows with GCC/G++ MinGW but it should work with other compilers.

Some ROMs that I've successfully managed to run are in the ROMs folder.
