A complete implementation of the CHIP-8 Architecture on PICO-8.
The CHIP-8 architecture was designed to allow making simple video games portably, in the mid-1970s, and has since seen implementations on just about every platform known to man.
Options available from the pause menu:
- Buttons fully rebindable to match standard PICO-8 controls, but can also be changed to Devkit mode to operate it with standard keyboard controls (& mouse).

Port of PICO-8 Celeste to Retro Gadgets
Retro Gadgets is a video game about building all sorts of retro-styled devices with all the clicky buttons and other goodies, and I noticed two things:
- The screens have a square aspect ratio
- The CPUs are programmed with Lua
Commence bad idea.
After a week or so of borderline masochism, I managed to port PICO-8 Celeste to Retro Gadgets using the original Lua code, spritesheets, music and sound data, along with writing some quick scripts to do syntax conversion from PICO-8 Lua to standard Lua, and to get the map and flag data out.
The entire game is beatable from start to finish, and functions identically to the PICO-8 version apart from minor visual quirks.
