Homebrew Official [RELEASE][HBL] CHIP8 Emulator

[pwsincd]

I have it on my retropie arcade, loved building that thing, Il take pics soon. I have a neo geo cd, couldnt go down the cartridge route, damn expensive.

im struggling with final burn alpha roms .. well to find the right romset tbh... then the cabinet build begins... im so impressed with retropie so far... not had much look with dreamcast though.. totally off topic

you can get a neo geo bios collection, theres a fair few. psx emu works amazing on pi2.

yeah i need the FBA roms first off lol... i have seen plenty of bios'es at emuparadise , i only have the one rom (crash banicoot) in psx so far to test it.. im on pi3 so im hoping the dreamcast and n64 etc runs better..

i don't see interesting games for chip8 on google

You have lot of clones: space invaders clone, pacman clone, asteroids clone, etc.

it's really awesome !!!

i'm kidding
it would be good to see a pc-98 emulator to play touhou on wii u ^^

Are you talking about this?!? https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEC_PC-9801
If yes, well, some time ago I was working on an 8086 cpu emulator for WiiU sooo...

Anyway I don't think I would be able to go further the first model, but the first one is OK

ok @rw-r-r_0644 i have added this to wiiubru.com however i seemed to struggle hosting elf loader apps for some reason , firstly could this be an mp4 ? i havent tried to see if it works yet but it also hosts several roms to try should it work lol.

roms hosted :

Spoiler: ROMS

WIPEOFF / VERS / VBRIX / UFO / TICTAC / TETRIS / TANK / SYZYGY / PUZZLE / PONG2 / PONG / MISSILE / MERLIN / MAZE / KALEID / INVADERS / HIDDEN / GUESS / CONNECT4 / BRIX / BLITZ / BLINKY / 15PUZZLE

I'm sorry, I wasn't able to get it under 20k. I reduced it to the only strictly needed code but it's still 88kb.

no problem , its given me more reason to fix the elf loading facility on my server... i just couldnt get the asteriods elf to work , but as i had an mp4 i didnt get carried away in trying..

If you want I can send you my chip8 folder zipped that *should* work

EDIT:Just a sec..

I copyed your roms inside and renamed them in downcase without numbers because the keyboard of the emulators doesn't have uppercase and numbers.
Also there's another explanation of why elf files may not be working: the elf loader code looks for the "payload" string in the url so to make elf files work you should probably move them to /55/payload/(homebrew name)/
Hope it helps

Nice work as always size limit will be an issue but will have fun playing around with it so thank you

Good job, we continue to grow!

Awesome stuff. I was actually thinking of making one of these myself for a while - glad someone beat me to it ;D

It's worth noting that if you don't like my shoddy-ass rom download system there's an incredibly useful tool in devKitPro called xxd that can convert binaries to C header files which you can just compile in. I think the command is xxd -i yourbinary.bin header.h.

Anyway, great to see people still programming stuff for browserhax :3

Thank you for the nice comment
I wasn't knowing that xxd existed and for the initial tests I created a .net program to convert roms to char arrays but I think I will continue using your download code because I get smallest payloads and a more easy-to-use emulator

the rome need have a.XXX? or just the name of the rom?

 

[josamilu]

Really cool, and nice work.
I tried around with my Chip8 Emulator for the Wii U a bit too, but I wasn't able to properly implent the drawing functions. However good that someone has got it to work, and actually really impressive.

 

[dpad_5678]

First 5.5 Emu! Awesome!

 

[rw-r-r_0644]

They will both work. I normally use the .rom extension but I don't se why it shouldn't work. The only important thing is not inserting uppercase characters or numbers as the really basic keyboard included doesn't have them

First 5.5 Emu! Awesome!

It actually isn't the first; there already was LiteNESU, a NES emulator from QuarkTheAwesome also made to work in 5.5 userspace

 

[WasdCat]

Thanks for this awesome job.
