CEmu 0.6

Cemu is a simple assembly/dissembly/emulation IDE that provides an easy Plug-n-Play environment to start playing with many architectures (currently supports "x86-{32,64}, ARM, AARCH64, MIPS, SPARC).

## Description ##

Writing assembly is fun. Assembly is the lowest language (humanly understandable) available to communicate with computers, and is crucial to understand the internal mechanisms of any machine. Unfortunately, setting up an environment to write, compile and run assembly for various architectures (x86, ARM, MIPS, SPARC) has always been painful. CEmu is an attempt to fix this by providing a bundled GUI application that empowers users to write assembly and test it by compiling it to bytecode and executing it in an QEMU-based emulator.

CEmu combines all the advantages of a basic assembly IDE, compilation and execution environment, by relying on the great libraries [Keystone](https://github.com/keystone-engine/keystone), [Unicorn](https://github.com/unicorn-engine/unicorn/) and [Capstone](https://github.com/aquynh/capstone) libraries in a Qt6 powered GUI.

It allows to test binary samples, check your shellcodes or even simply learn how to write assembly code, all of this for the following architectures:

• x86-32 / x86-64

• ARM / AArch64

• MIPS / MIPS64

• SPARC / SPARC64

• PPC (but not emulation)

CEmu was mostly tested to work on Linux and Windows, but should work on MacOS.

## Installation ##

__Notes__

Since version 0.2.2, cemu is now Python3 only for simplicity and mostly also due to the fact that Python2 is not developed any longer. If your current installation of cemu is <= 0.2.1 and on Python2, please uninstall it and install it using Python3.

In addition, Python >= 3.10 is required, starting 0.6.

### Quick install with PIP ###

Last stable from PyPI:

`bash pip3 install cemu `

Last stable from Github:

`bash git clone https://github.com/hugsy/cemu cd cemu pip3 install --upgrade . `

For 99% of cases, that’s all you need to do. cemu will be installed in the associated Scripts directory:

• On Linux by default the executable will be found as /usr/local/bin/cemu if installed as root, ~/.local/bin/cemu for non-root

• On Windows, %PYTHON_DIR%Scriptscemu.exe if installed with privileges, %APPDATA%PythonPython310Scriptscemu.exe if not
