I finished my hand-held CHIP-8 game console I call CHIPnGo!
It's essentially complete now (other than some planned firmware tweaks) and you can check out the source code on GitHub. You can also see a video if it in action here.

8-bit console - picking MCU/MPU
I ask because I recently made a console for CHIP-8 which is an old 8-bit “fantasy console” by writing a CHIP-8 emulator for a STM32 MCU. So games still have that 8-bit limitation like you’re going for but the STM32 has a bit more power than actual 8-bit MCUs which is useful for working with the display and stuff.

[Schematic Review + General Design Questions] CHIP-8 Handheld Game Console
Now that I have a nearly complete prototype for my CHIP-8 game console that I've been working on, I wanted to attempt to create a custom PCB to truly make it portable.

I'm working on a physical, handheld CHIP-8 game console. Anyone have suggestions/critiques?
A couple months ago, I decided I wanted to learn more about embedded software development so I thought it would be cool to port my emulator to a STM32 MCU and try to build a handheld game console since CHIP-8 never existed as an actual standalone physical machine. I have a working prototype and the firmware (which I wrote from scratch so it took quite awhile to get right) is basically done (though I will likely do some refactoring and add a bit more robustness) which can be found here. Next step is to design a PCB and add battery power to have a no-shit portable game console.

I'm working on a physical, handheld CHIP-8 game console. Anyone have suggestions/critiques?
Last year I wrote a CHIP-8 emulator (well to be more accurate, interpreter) to learn more about emulators and computer architecture in general and had a lot of fun with it.

Seeking clarification on XO-CHIP audio specs
Hey guys, the other day I posted a link to my CHIP-8 emulator in C and SDL and now decided I'm going to implement XO-CHIP support. I got all the non-audio instructions working and it looks and plays great except the audio spec still confuses me.

After working through CS50 and The C Programming Language, I'm looking to start my first educational project. Looking for tips.
I’m working on one now, but trying to add all the bells and whistles: https://github.com/kurtjd/jace
