TLDR: It’s rendering single images from Doom on cell-based frame displays, not running the game itself.

This always bugs me about the “it runs Doom” posts. 90% of the time it’s just a unique display hooked up to a regular computer where the computer is the thing running Doom or they made some simple raycast game with Doom assets (like all the calculator ones).
I’m sure this display will show Cyberpunk 2077 if they piped the display in properly. Doesn’t mean e.coli are running a 4080.
