    Chip 8 Emulator v0.1ß by Pedro Gil (Balrog Soft). First release


  1 What is Chip 8?

    Chip 8 was an old console with a simple graphics (like Atari 2600)
  with only two colors, and one beep of sound.

  With this program you will would run old games. The oldest game Pong
  dont work by now in my emulator, but others work fine.


  2 How work Chip 8 Emulator?

    The keyboard of original    In the emulator the keys are:
    Chip 8 machines was:         ( Numeric keys in Amiga )

        1 2 3 C                     [ ] / *
        4 5 6 D                     7 8 9 -
        7 8 9 E                     4 5 6 +
        A 0 B F                     1 2 3 Enter

    Click on the emulator and you would seen a listview (not work now)
    a text ("No game..."),  buttons "INS", "Start", "Quit" and a cycle
    called Display with "Window" and "Screen".

      How to run a game

        Click on Ins to load a game (maze for example)

  set display in Window on amiga window, or screen (more faster)

    And click Start

        In screen display you can exit with F10

    About "Run" gadget is to emulate the Chip 8, or emulate and monitoring
 the game. In monitor mode you would seen at the end of the screen the
 internal registers of Chip 8. In the top you would seen the emulate chip 8
 and the disassembler. Pressing a key the instructions are executed.


    With speed, you can control the speed of emulation, 100% is the
 fastest emulation.
