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