The official page and download location for this emulator is:
http://00laboratories.com/index.php/dow ... -00schip8/
This is version "V1.2015".
The Source Code has various English typos and doesn't use PBHGEN (it didn't exist yet) http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 27&t=53414 so it's a bit of a mess. I was a lot younger so I hope you understand =]
00SChip8 - Chip-8 Emulator
00Schip8 uses parts of OGRE engine to render the screen, sound changes frequency based on the sound timer for a funnier effect, it can emulate both Chip8 and SuperChip. It can emulate all of the games, official and unofficial.
The emulator has now been made Open Source.
Changes
+ Now utilizes various inline x86 assembly instead of manual carry flag detection and various speed improvements.
+ No longer resets game speed when the game is reset.
+ Fixed rendering artifacts and inaccurate collision detection.
+ Fixed SHL,1 (shift register left by 1) that set Register F to the least significant bit instead of the most significant bit.
+ Small GUI changes.

Motivation
I have always been very interested in emulators and it was announced that Chip-8 is a great platform to learn the concept behind it. After creating one I definitely learned a lot about how the CPU (registers, opcodes, state-flags, stack and program execution), RAM (overflowing, operations between CPU/RAM, dynamic ASM generation) and GPU (pixel plotting, collision feedback, sprites) work.
The emulator ships with the Chip-8 Program Pack by Revival Studios. Our favorite game is: "Ant - In Search of Coke [Erin S. Catto]", an amazing SuperChip sidescroller.
