- 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 extensions are S-CHIP and XO-CHIP.
For information on CHIP-8 extensions see: CHIP-8 extensions and compatibility by the CHIP-8 Research Facility
