[Cuis-dev] Chip8 emulator

[Hernán Wilkinson]

At nerdear.la (a conference about science and technology is Argentina)
there was a very interesting talk about how to build an 8 bit computer:

It will be online soon for sure (in Spanish ...)
The speaker is part of the Computer Museum of Bahia Blanca, and there will
be a retro-computers conference on April 2026:

See you there!! :-)

Cheers!
Hernan
