OK, but can it run Doom?

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

x86 at 25MHz could barely run it. This is ARM at 24.

Also 3KB of RAM. That has to be too little.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I think I had 2-4MB, but it was a long time ago, so I could be mistaken.

It also had an FPU addon, which I don't think the M0 has.

People got it running on a pregnancy test once, so...

[–] KingKong33@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

To clarify, it wasn't running on the pregnancy test, it was just outputting to one.

And the screen had been replaced… so it was truly pointless.

[–] KingKong33@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

Lmao, I didn't know that part. Yeah, at that point who fucking cares. 😂

When I was a kid we had a 386-33MHz with 4MB RAM, it ran Doom at about 1-2FPS. Upgraded to a 486 DX (66MHz I think?) and 8MB RAM and it ran great on that. It's possible that the 386 would have been fine if we put more RAM in though, I think the biggest issue was swapping.

Set it to low quality and hit Ctrl+Minus until the window is the size of a postage stamp and it's buttery smooth.
