1 | \subsection{\label{ref:Chip8emulator}Chip{}-8 Emulator} | ||
2 | The Chip{}-8 Emulator allows you to play many old chip8 games found on | ||
3 | the Net. It modifies Rockbox, so file extensions .ch8 will be | ||
4 | recognised as chip8 games. Just press PLAY on a .ch8 file to start a | ||
5 | game. | ||
6 | |||
7 | There are lots of tiny Chip8 games (usually only about 256 bytes to a | ||
8 | couple of KB) which were made popular by the HP48 | ||
9 | calculator's emulator for them. The original Chip8 had | ||
10 | 64x32 pixel graphics, and the new superchip emulator supports 128x64 | ||
11 | graphics, which almost fits on the Recorder's display. | ||
12 | The only problem is they are based on a 4x4 keyboard, but since most | ||
13 | games do not use all of the buttons, this can easily be worked around. | ||
