For a few years I’ve started and stopped working on CHIP-8 documentation. I don’t enjoy writing docs the same way I enjoy writing code. But over the last years I’ve learned something: many of the most commonly used CHIP-8 resources are, in my opinion, incomplete, ambiguous, or occasionally misleading.

This leads to many new CHIP-8 implementations sharing the same errors and to frustration on their developers. During our everyday support work in #chip-8 of the EmuDev Discord, we come across a lot of these cases.
