A Reddit user shared a native port of Doom for a Casio scientific calculator, a device with a small screen and minimal hardware. Graphing calculators have long been a hotbed for modders, so this case isn’t particularly surprising. The Ti-Planet website has a whole gallery of mods, from Doom to Minecraft to an NES emulator.
What’s even more interesting is that a vape, which is far from healthy, has also been transformed into a device that allows you to play DOOM.
To be precise, the modder didn’t launch the game directly on the device. Instead, they enabled the display feature on the vape, allowing the device to display gameplay. However, some users believe that, as long as the device has a working display, there’s no reason why it wouldn’t be able to run a simplified port of the game.
The enthusiast used an Aspire PIXO vape pen, priced at around €30, which boasts surprisingly decent hardware. The device is equipped with a Puxa PY32F403XC ARM chip with 64 KB of RAM. Additionally, it has 256 KB of flash memory, which the modder expanded by adding a 16 MB SPI flash memory chip. The device also supports Bluetooth and features a 323 × 173 pixel LCD display, a vibration motor, and even a microphone.
