Chip16 Project (version 1.3)

The Chip16 emulation project home, with documentation, examples, and help.

What is Chip16?

An emulation project helping programmers write their first emulator, using a well-defined, relatively simple VM specification.

It also doubles as a cool toy platform to write little games and demos for.

Where to go - Wiki

Head over to the wiki: you will find exchaustive information about the system, and a full list of opcodes to implement.

You will also find rationale for Chip16's development, as well as guides, soon.

What to get

My work, excluding ROMs:

• mash16 - my own emulator; best choice for Linux
• Js16 - my alt. emulator, in-browser
• tchip16 - assembler
• img16 - image to sprite converter (also available in the src directory)

Others' work (cherry picked):

• RefChip16 - Refraction (PCSX2 dev)'s emulator; best choice for Windows
• hchip - emulator written in Haskell, for cool people

ROMs:

• browse the src directory for documented examples
• a showcase of my work, with a ROM pack

What else?

Other ROMs, emulators, tools and ideas are buried in:
