Someone has ported DOOM to the new Game & Watch



Whether it's a rule, or merely an inevitability, if it exists, someone can and will port DOOM to it. YouTuber Stacksmashing has brought the game to a new and rather unexpected platform: the new Nintendo Game & Watch handheld. He details his experiences in porting the 1993 game to the system, which included having to use a version of DOOM that removes textures and replaces them with simple outlines and flat colors, in order for the game to fit onto the Game & Watch's very small storage. Getting DOOM to a playable state on such an odd system won't be the end of his exploits, either, as Stacksmashing and fellow coder Konrad Beckmann are working together on releasing a homebrew creation tool for the new Game & Watch.

What this devices absolutety needs, is a minimalist port of MAME, to emulate all single screen Game&Watch. MAME already emulates all G&W, so I suppose it should be possible?
MADrigal's simulators (MGW) were cool and all, but they're kind of obsolete, now that real G&W emulation is a thing.

Looks like someone is doing exactly that.

eventually some progress. black bars, because the rom is from the crystal screen series with a different ratio.
