:''Note: The terms 'emulator', 'interpreter' and 'simulator' are used interchangeably by developers of interpreters of CHIP-8.''
'''[[wikipedia:CHIP-8|CHIP-8]]''' is an [[wikipedia:Interpreter_(computing)|interpreted]] [[wikipedia:Programming_language|programming language]], developed by Joseph Weisbecker. CHIP-8 interpreters have been official endorsed/made by some hardware developers, while most interpreters are considered [[wikipedia:Homebrew_(video_games)|homebrew]] or hobbyist software.
Later, in the 1990s CHIP-8 began to be popular on [[wikipedia:Graphing calculator|graphing calculators]]. This community started when a CHIP-8 interpreter called CHIP-48, the origin the 'CHIP-48' extension was released on the [[wikipedia:HP_48_series|HP-48]] in 1990. In 1991 the 'S-CHIP' interpreter released on [[wikipedia:HP_49/50_series#HP_49G|HP-49G]], with the 'S-CHIP' extension being a derivative of CHIP-48.<ref name=SCHIP_11_DOC>[http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/chip8/schip.txt S-CHIP 1.1 documentation]</ref>
Since then there have been other communities that have created and ported interpreters, devices such as home computers and consoles have been hardware targeted by some software developers. With interpreters still being made for consoles and computers, as well as many other old and new devices. In the 2010s the [https://beyondloom.com/blog/octojam.html octojamOctojam] competition (started with the creation of XO-CHIP , which was created in 2014<ref>[https://chip-8.github.io/extensions/#xo-chip CHIP-8 extensions and compatibility#XO-CHIP]</ref>), . Octojam which has ran from 2014-2023, <ref>https://beyondloom.com/blog/octojam. Octojam html</ref> with had dozens of CHIP-8, S-CHIP, and XO-CHIP programs created for it.
