About This is an emulator (interpreter more accurately) for the CHIP-8, an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker and used on 8-bit microcomputers in the mid-1970s. Example: Pong on the CHIP-8 emulator It was implemented as a side project to understand better a systems architecture, by implementing every assembly instruction in code. Chip-8 is a very simple 8-bit microcomputer, with a small but complete set of instructions (only 35 opcodes).
