I updated the CHIP-8 Emulator made by @rw-r-r_0644 to use GX2 graphics, include the buzzer, and support the Super CHIP-8 interpreter.

His emulator is located here - https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-5-5-chip8-emulator.424658/

CHIP-8/SCHIP-8 GX2 Emulator by brienj

I updated the CHIP-8 Emulator made by rw-r-r_0644 to use GX2 graphics, include the buzzer, and support the Super CHIP-8 interpreter.

Setup:
Put the CHIP8.elf file in the sd:/wiiu/apps/CHIP8/ folder of your SD card. Put all of your CHIP-8/SCHIP-8 roms in the sd:/roms/CHIP8/ folder of the SD card with the .ch8 extension. Sub-folders are acceptable, but not needed.

Instructions:
Load a ROM and press the Play button. If you select the play button with a WiiMote, that WiiMote will be used as the controller, with sideways orientation. The A and B buttons will be swapped with the 1 and 2 buttons, and the X and Y buttons will be swapped with the A and B buttons, if you play with a WiiMote. Once a game is started the Play button becomes a Pause button. Selecting the Config button will open up the controller configuration. Select a controller button on the screen and then select the button number you wish to assign it to. Pressing the Save Config button on the configuration screen will save a 16 byte config file in the same directory with the ROM. Each config file is for each individual ROM, so each ROM can each have a different configuration. The Left-Stick on the gamepad emulates the D-PAD, and the Right-Stick on the gamepad emulates the A, B, X, and Y buttons. This allows you to easily play two player pong on the gamepad using the sticks.

Some .config files located on GitHub page

Planned to be added:
CHIP-8E, CHIP-8X instructions
Display folder name on selection buttons

Credits:
-rw-r-r_0644 for original port
-dimok for all of his HBL code

Unfortunately you caught me away from my console. I'll be sure to thoroughly play around with this when I'm back.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
