CHIP-8
A curated list of resources, tools, emulators, and games for the CHIP-8 fantasy console and emulation development.
What is CHIP-8?
Awesome CHIP-8 is a curated, community-maintained list of resources focused on the CHIP-8 platform, the original fantasy console created in 1977. It aggregates documentation, development tools, emulators, testing suites, and games to support learning and development around CHIP-8 emulation and programming. The project serves as a central hub for both historical reference and practical education in low-level system emulation.
Developers and hobbyists interested in learning emulation development, retro computing enthusiasts, and educators seeking structured resources for teaching low-level programming and computer architecture through CHIP-8.
It provides a single, comprehensive, and vetted collection of CHIP-8 materials, saving time for learners and developers who would otherwise need to search scattered sources. Its educational focus and inclusion of testing tools make it particularly valuable for those building their first emulators.
