+# NES Emulator
+This is the repository of a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator in active development. The emulator is not 
+currently complete but can run and partially display a ROM. Note that the project may support Windows and MacOS, but was 
+only tested on Linux. Here is how to run the project:
+ - Change the ```rom_path``` at line 26 of ```main.c```
+ - Optionally, change ```gui.debug_enabled``` to ```true``` at line 33 of ```gui.c``` to enable debugging
+ - Generate the Makefile with CMake: ```cmake .```
+ - Build the project with Make: ```make```
+ - Run the emulator: ```./nes_emulator```
+
+## Dependencies
