:There have been multiple communities that have used CHIP-8.
In the late 1970s to 1980s [[wikipedia:Microcomputer|microcomputer]] kit communities are where CHIP-8 was first popular.
This is due to systems like the [[wikipedia:COSMAC VIP|COSMAC VIP]] endorsing and including CHIP-8 programs.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/rca-cosmac-vp-111-instr-manual-b/ COSMAC VIP Instruction Manual]</ref> In these communities CHIP-8 programs and extensions were being shared with newsletters, like '[https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22N.S.W.+6800+Users+Group%22&sort=title DREAMER]' and '[https://github.com/mattmikolay/viper VIPER magazine]'
:For detailed information on CHIP-8 extensions see: [https://chip-8.github.io/extensions/ CHIP-8 extensions and compatibility]
:Extensions to CHIP-8 have existed since the 1970s.
CHIP-8, and its extensions are based on implementing [[wikipedia:Opcode|opcodes]] in interpreters.<ref>https://chip-8.github.io/extensions/</ref>
The original CHIP-8 being the most supported, with the most supported extensions being S-CHIP and XO-CHIP.
