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. CHIP-8 interpreters have been official endorsed/made by some hardware developers, while most interpreters are considered homebrew or hobbyist software.

Adoption
There have been multiple communities that have used CHIP-8.

In the late 1970s to 1980s microcomputer kit communities are where CHIP-8 was first popular.

This is due to systems like the COSMAC VIP including CHIP-8 programs in instruction manuals.[2] In these communities CHIP-8 programs and extensions were being shared with newsletters, like 'DREAMER' and 'VIPER magazine'

Later, in the 1990s CHIP-8 began to be popular on graphing calculators. This community started when a CHIP-8 interpreter called CHIP-48, the origin the 'CHIP-48' extension was released on the HP-48 in 1990. In 1991 the 'S-CHIP' interpreter released on HP-49G, with the 'S-CHIP' extension being a derivative of CHIP-48.[3]

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 octojam competition (XO-CHIP was created in 2014[4]), which has ran from 2014-2023. Octojam had dozens of CHIP-8, S-CHIP, and XO-CHIP programs created for it.

CHIP-8 extensions
For information on CHIP-8 extensions see: CHIP-8 extensions and compatibility by the CHIP-8 Research Facility
Extensions to CHIP-8 have existed since the 1970s.

CHIP-8, and its extensions are based on implementing opcodes in interpreters.[5] The original CHIP-8 being the most supported, with the most supported extensions being S-CHIP and XO-CHIP.

When extensions change the behavior of an opcode it makes the specific opcode when used incompatible with other extensions, most derivative extensions try to maintain backward compatibility with 'parent' extension. If commonly used or many opcodes' behavior is change it will large incompatibilities with extensions.

Computers with supporting CHIP-8
For more information on these computers, see List of computers.
Devices with official/endorsed or other well-known CHIP-8 support.

These devices include: DREAM 6800, COSMAC VIP, HUG1802/ETI-660, Oscom Nano, Telmac 1800, Telmac 2000, V-ELF, VIP2K Membership Card.
