And it works great.<\/p>\n<p>Sanderson\u2019s\u00a0<em>DOOM<\/em> port is extremely faithful to the original game. It\u2019s based on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chocolate-doom.org\/wiki\/index.php\/Chocolate_Doom\">Chocolate Doom<\/a> source port, and it uses all of the original\u00a0<em>DOOM<\/em> PC WAD files, plus the original music and audio. Fitting all this stuff on the Pi Pico\u2019s 2MB of flash memory required a bit of compression, of course, but the game still runs at 300\u00d7200 resolution (but outputs\u00a01280\u00d71024 video) without a hitch. (Sanderson notes that microcomputers with the Pi Pico\u2019s RP2040 chip should be able to run\u00a0<em>Ultimate Doom<\/em>\u00a0and <em>DOOM II<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"vXr7tOR3dis\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/vXr7tOR3dis\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Shockingly, this port actually supports four-player multiplayer. And there aren\u2019t any weird tricks here\u2014just connect a few computers via I2C and you\u2019re ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>Sanderson documented the entire project in a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kilograham.github.io\/rp2040-doom\/\">GitHub writeup<\/a>, which is quite detailed. If you\u2019re curious about his compression method, called WHD or \u201cWhere\u2019s Half the Data,\u201d I strongly suggest scrolling through that documentation!<\/p>\n<p>All the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/kilograham\/rp2040-doom\">code for this\u00a0<em>DOOM<\/em> port<\/a> is available on GitHub. Technically speaking, it should work on all RP2040 microcomputers with at least 2MB of RAM, though I suggest playing it on the Pi Pico.
