\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.
