==Community== CHIP-8 has been used on a wide range of devices over time; the first community to use CHIP-8 started in the 1970s on [[microcomputer]]s. They shared extensions and programs in newsletters such as ARESCO's VIPER for COSMAC VIP users or DREAMER for DREAM 6800 users{{refn|https://archive.org/details/dreamer_newsletter_01/mode/2up}}. In the VIPER newsletter, the first three issues detailed the machine code for the CHIP-8 interpreter for the VIP. <ref>{{Cite news|date=1978-12-11|title=''VIPER'' for RCA VIP owner|pages=9|newspaper=Intelligent Machines Journal ([[InfoWorld]])|publisher=InfoWorld Media Group|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IT4EAAAAMBAJ&q=aresco+viper&pg=PA9|accessdate=2010-01-30}}</ref> In the 1990s, CHIP-8 interpreters started to be created for [[graphing calculator]]s. Notable examples include CHIP-48 and SCHIP for the [[HP-48]]. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://medium.com/@tobywhughes/what-i-learned-about-python-and-emulators-by-making-a-chip-8-emulator-f6ac7f25e095 | title=[What I Learned About] Python and Emulators [by] Making a Chip-8 Emulator | date=15 December 2019 }}</ref> CHIP-8 applications include original games, [[Demoscene|demos]], as well as recreations of popular games from other systems. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://pong-story.com/chip8/ | title=The CHIP-8 Emulator HomePage }}</ref> With some CHIP-8 applications being in the [[public domain]], using licenses like the [[Creative_Commons_license#Zero,_public_domain|Creative Commons Zero]] license. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.zophar.net/pdroms/chip8.html | title=Chip-8 Public Domain ROMs - Zophar's Domain }}</ref> <ref>[https://johnearnest.github.io/chip8Archive/ CHIP-8 Archive]</ref>
