CHIP-8 firmware and games for the Swissmicros DM41X - dmh - 01-09-2024 09:38 PM

I've ported CHIP-8 to the Swissmicros DM41X hardware which I demonstrate in the following video with some existing game ROMs.

Now compiled for the DM42 with appropriate adjustments to keyboard mapping (shown in startup screen and video).

Download link is in video description.

Amazing! I love the idea of that platform - somehow limitations seem to produce better things. Last weekend I was at an Amiga meet up, someone there was and still is very much into the demoscene. I think chip-8 was where the game Celeste originated on? Not sure how that would run on my DM42.

I just had a look at PICO-8 and it lists CHIP-8 as a predecessor.

PICO-8 has colour and probably a number of other features over CHIP-8 as it was released in 2015.

Thanks for the pointer, I will look further into PICO-8 and available emulators.
