What is do-able?

  • Platter can be used to play (seemingly) any chip-8 rom, visualize it, correctly report all values etc.
  • No Chip-8 roms have been found that break the Guacamole.
  • All valid Chip-8 assembly can compile.
  • Many pre-processor commands are supported by jalapeno, unlikely that more will be supported.
  • Any wav file can be used for the sound timer.

Known Issues / Missing Features

  • Keyboard inputs are not configurable in platter.
  • Keyboard input works in a 'unique' way. All inputs are static and reset after 0.5 seconds, this allows (kind of) for two simultaneous key presses in platter.
  • No confirmation that your key press was registered (aside from game change) in platter.
  • Only one resolution available in platter
  • Blackbean does not warn the user if an instruction edits VF.
  • No support for the 'original' shift behavior in guacamole.
  • Jalapeno does not support mode/option settings in the file. It just strips them.
