Controls:
Drag and drop a ROM onto the EXE to load a game. CHIP8 has a hex keypad, and the keys are mapped as follows:

Keypad                   Keyboard
+-+-+-+-+                +-+-+-+-+
|1|2|3|C|                |1|2|3|4|
+-+-+-+-+                +-+-+-+-+
|4|5|6|D|                |Q|W|E|R|
+-+-+-+-+       =>       +-+-+-+-+
|7|8|9|E|                |A|S|D|F|
+-+-+-+-+                +-+-+-+-+
|A|0|B|F|                |Z|X|C|V|
+-+-+-+-+                +-+-+-+-+

Certain games have more "sane" layouts which are applied automatically. These games can be controlled with
the arrow keys or WASD. Since each game is different, it may take some trial and error to find the controls.
