A Chip by Any Other Name

New Features

• Confirmed working on Mac
• Rewind support
• Assembler checks if modification to VF occurs
• Support for 'new' and 'old' shift behavior

Still to come

• Input is still not acceptable, keys feel sticky
• A more modern gui
• Mobile support?
• Editable Controls
• Fixes for a few known bugs
• Pre-Proc will remove extra white space it caused
• Single file executable?

Mostly Harmless

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.
