DrChip8 is a Chip 8 emulator for the Gameboy Advance and also the Gamecube via the Gameboy Player.

Chip 8 was a virtual machine created in the 1970s and resurrected in the 1990s for use with powerful graphic calculators. Games could be written easily in the Chip 8 language, and then executed on any computer than had a Chip 8 interpreter.

Chip 8 games are simple but there are many interpretations of classic games, pong, joust, breakout, space invaders and so on. There are also some more modern games such as tetris, and that game everyone has on their Nokia, with the worm chasing its tail.

Drchip8 has been coded in 100% ARM ASM using the goldroad ARM compiler version 1.7.
