Im waiting for the post "Doom ported to disposable Vape chip" :-D

The Puya PY32 series MCUs found in most vapes have 3kb of RAM and 24kb of ROM, whereas Doom requires at least 4MB of RAM. Assuming Moore's law also applies to the computing power inside a disposable vape, we should be seeing that post in around a decade :)

Good catch! Though it misses my primary condition: "disposable" - ha! :-D (this one is a refillable one, and it looks like he is streaming the content from his PC?)

But a very cool link, thanks for sharing! :)

There's gotta be a Moore's law corollary for "Doom ported to [blank]" milestones. I wonder where this all ends? Doom ported to a mechanical pencil! Doom ported to a clipper card! To a lightbulb??

It all ends with it is ported to a paperclip machine [1].

The standalone viewer (connected directly to the earbuds) also works on mobile: https://files.catbox.moe/pdvphj.mp4

No touch controls though, it just plays the intro loop

Do we have Doom on a USB-C plug microcontroller yet?

But can it run crysis?

At first I thought you found a way to control/view the game acoustically and I was very curious how that worked.

But, this probably makes more sense.

Awesome advertising for the Pinebunds Pro. No chance the Fairbuds can do this? I don't know much about them.

Also, with DOOM running on all these things now, is it still impossible to get it to run well on a 386?

I think there was a port that was much less demanding, and likely suitable for 386, but needs to be backported to x86

As an aside, I really like the style of the page. I wish it was available as a classless css dropin stylesheet.

We should definitely send a playable copy of doom to aliens on a golden record on the next Voyager mission

and risk having them interpret it as a declaration of war?
