# 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!
