  Does it run Doom?

    The Pi Pico is capable of running Doom and it actually runs quite well when overclocked. It would probably take a bit of work to get it running on this computer since it uses a second RP2040 as a graphics processor.

      Doom is one of the examples for the PicoVision. It might need some hacking to get the keyboard to work since I think he used I2C to connect it instead of USB, but it can definitely run Doom.

  I can recommend his youtube video about it. It’s quite a nice build.

  There is something about the simplicity of this kind of thing that makes it so attractive. There’s no bloat, just a device for a maker individual to play around with.

  But it makes me wonder if there’s something similar to this but more “ready” for people to buy and play around building software. I’ve thought about learning more low level stuff with emulators, not a real device. A real device like this with a minimal Unix-like OS and some development kit to play around would be interesting.

  I think I’m slowly starting to understand the use cases of these small form factor computers. Pretty much Swiss Army knives in computer form.

  Makes sense that people are trying to sell them commercially now, even if they are bit experimental and don’t have a defined use case as of yet.

  Plus it just looks cool.
