An engineer has ported a Windows version of Doom to play on the $4 Raspberry Pi Pico.
The Windows version of the first person shooter game Doom has now been ported to the Raspberry Pi Pico, a device with just 2MB of flash memory. Doom, a legendary 90s-era game released for MS-DOS, has been ported Windows, Linux and almost every OS, device and console on Earth. Now, the Pi Pico has joined that list. Raspberry Pi released the Pico for $4 a pop last January, a microcontroller powered by Raspberry Pi’s RP2040. The Pi Pico ships with 2MB flash memory while the RP2040 supports up to 16MB of memory. The company now sells reels of the RP2040 chips for between $1 to 70c a piece. The new Doom port for Pico comes is the work of Graham Sanderson, a principle software engineer at Raspberry Pi, who has been running software efforts behind the RP2040 and the Pico’s software development kit (SDK).
