CHIP-8 console on FPGA
A CHIP-8 game console emulator implemented on an FPGA chip (TinyFPGA BX) with hardware integration.
What is CHIP-8 console on FPGA?
fpga-chip8 is a CHIP-8 game console emulator implemented on an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) chip. It recreates the classic CHIP-8 virtual machine in hardware, allowing it to run retro games with physical components like a keypad and OLED screen. The project solves the challenge of accurately emulating CHIP-8 behavior in Verilog while integrating real-world peripherals.
FPGA enthusiasts, hardware developers, and retro computing hobbyists interested in learning Verilog, hardware emulation, or building custom gaming consoles. It's also suitable for those exploring CHIP-8 implementations beyond software emulators.
Developers choose this project for its hands-on approach to FPGA development, detailed implementation insights, and practical integration with hardware components. It offers a clear, open-source reference for building emulators on FPGAs, with features like debug mode and efficient game loading.
