CHIP-8 implemention of Pong | |

Release date | 1977 or 1978 |
Emulated | ✓ |
- Note: The terms 'emulator', 'interpreter' and 'simulator' are used interchangeably by developers of CHIP-8 interpreters.
CHIP-8 is an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker. Designed to be easy to program for and to use less resources than programming languages like BASIC. [1]
Adoption
- For more information on computers with CHIP-8 support, see List of computers.
- 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, on systems such as the DREAM 6800, COSMAC VIP, HUG1802/ETI-660, Oscom Nano, Telmac 1800, Telmac 2000, and V-ELF
This is due to systems like the COSMAC VIP endorsing and including CHIP-8 programs with the machine.[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 'SUPER-CHIP' interpreter was created, with the 'SUPER-CHIP' (A.K.A S-CHIP or SCHIP) extension being a derivative of CHIP-48.[3]
There have been other communities that have created and ported interpreters, devices such as consoles. With interpreters still being made for consoles and computers, as well as many other old and new devices. In the 2010s the Octojam competition started with the creation of XO-CHIP, which was created in 2014[4]. Octojam ran from 2014-2023, [5] had dozens of CHIP-8, S-CHIP, and XO-CHIP programs created for it.

Extensions
- For detailed information on CHIP-8 extensions see: CHIP-8 extensions and compatibility
The original CHIP-8 is more supported than any extension, the most supported extensions are: S-CHIP and XO-CHIP.
Extensions to CHIP-8 since the 1970s, with many with over-lapping features, such as the expansions to the resolution, I/O and other improvements/additions. CHIP-8, and its extensions are based on implementing opcodes in interpreters.[7]
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.
A summarized list of the CHIP-8 extensions below:
Extensions created for HP-48:
- CHIP-48
- SUPER-CHIP
Extensions created for other systems:
- Mega-Chip
- XO-CHIP
Extensions created for the COSMAC VIP:
Visual: Two-page display for CHIP-8, CHIP-10, Hi-res CHIP-8, CHIP-8E, CHIP-8X, Two-page display for CHIP-8X, Hi-res CHIP-8X
I/O: CHIP-8I, CHIP-8II, CHIP-8III, HI-RES CHIP-8 with I/O, CHIP-8Y
Other: CHIP-8E, CHIP-8M
