Developer Joseph Weisbecker
Type Interpreted programming language
Release date 1976[1] (original)
Emulated ✓
WIP Note: needs accuracy testing and checking for licensing
For emulators for computers dedicated to running CHIP-8, see List of computers.
Note: The terms 'emulator', 'interpreter' and 'simulator' are used interchangeably by developers of interpreters of CHIP-8.

CHIP-8 is an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker.

Most CHIP-8 interpreters are Homebrew emulators for their system, devices with official/marketed with CHIP-8 support include: the DREAM 6800, COSMAC VIP, Telmac 1800 and ETI-660.

Extensions to CHIP-8 have existed since the 1970s, With some conflicting with each-other.[2][3] Most extensions have limited support outside of the interpreter they were made for, The most supported extension is S-CHIP.

CHIP-8 extensions include: CHIP-8C, CHIP-8E, CHIP-8X, CHIP-8I, CHIP-10, HiRes CHIP-8, CHIP-48, S-CHIP, and XO-CHIP.

S-CHIP (created in 1991).[4] is based on CHIP-48 (Created in 1990)[5].
