Today my CHIP-8 Knowledge Base went online, an attempt on a detailed knowledge base for CHIP-8, the famous virtual machine from the 1970s, and its many variants.

While working on Cadmium and Chiplet I implemented over twenty variants of CHIP-8, and quite some knowledge accumulated along the way that I felt deserved a better home than scattered notes and source comments. The site collects this in a growing set of reference documentation on CHIP-8 and its variants, accompanied by a blog.

The tutorial teased on the landing page is still a work in progress and not yet published. It aims to be programming-language agnostic, and I will announce it when it is ready.

So if you are interested in CHIP-8, emulation or retro computing, have a look at chip8kb.gulrak.net

Feedback is very welcome!
