Hi everyone, this was my first attempt at writing an emulator. I went with the Chip 8 cause it seemed to be the easiest one. I then used tiny.js to manage some aspects of the display; I was trying to emulate that glow from an old monitorby atum47

I've used this guide [1] to help me understand the instructions.by atum47

Yeah, I posted it once 6 days ago but it didn't made the front page so I posted it again 3 days afterwards. That's itby atum47

Ah, CHIP-8, arguably the world's first fantasy console.by bitwize

I'm just gonna come out and say it this ideia came from either Claude or ChatGPT. I thought the GBA was the easiest console to write an emulator for, but after talking to either one of those LLM I learned about Chip 8. All I wanted was to write an emulator that I could make some post processing on the output.by atum47

What makes CHIP-8 great for babby's first emu is the fact that it's not a real CPU or system architecture; it's a VM to make video games for the Cosmac VIP 1970s hobbyist computer easy to write.Don't worry about your use of an LLM. If it spits out something that gives you a holy-crap idea, that's great. Things get iffy when you lean on the LLM to do the work.
