Chip8 Emulator in Java

Built using JavaFX

What is the Chip8?

CHIP-8 is an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker. It was initially used on the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800 8-bit microcomputers in the mid-1970s. CHIP-8 programs are run on a CHIP-8 virtual machine. It was made to allow video games to be more easily programmed for these computers

The Chip8 emulator supports additional ROM files as the application allows for a user menu prompt to load a rom. Upon load users will initially be present with the classic game known as PONG. Have fun playing some classic retro games!
