The tradition of working on any device with a screen continues to \u00a0surprise\u00a0 us. Over the years, we’ve witnessed the \u00a0digital phenomenon\u00a0 that is *Doom* executed in increasingly extravagant locations. This time, the classic shooter has found a new home in a \u00a0completely unexpected\u00a0 place: a \u00a0Power Bank\u00a0. The most impressive aspect of this setup is that it works much better than one might expect.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What Happened<\/strong>. Aaron Christophyl, a \u00a0content creator\u00a0 known for his experiments with hardware, has managed<\/a> to execute *Doom* on an Anker Prime Charger rated at \u00a0250W\u00a0. This charger, primarily designed for charging multiple devices, features a \u00a02.26-inch color screen\u00a0. So naturally, one might wonder what else this screen could be used for other than showcasing *Doom*.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mdou8sqcqey<\/a>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Why It Works So Well<\/strong>. The secret lies in the internals of the charger. The Anker Prime Charger incorporates a \u00a0SYNWIT SWM34S processor\u00a0 powered by an ARM Cortex-M33 core running at \u00a0150 MHz\u00a0, with \u00a08 MB of RAM\u00a0 and \u00a016 MB of internal storage\u00a0. These specifications, while modest by today’s standards, are more than sufficient to run a game designed in the 1990s when personal computers typically operated at \u00a025-33 MHz\u00a0.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Peculiar Controls<\/strong>. The most ingenious aspect of this project is the \u00a0controls\u00a0. The charger only has a \u00a0rotating wheel\u00a0 next to the screen, yet Christophyl has managed to map all basic functions<\/a> of the game: turning the wheel for movement, pressing and turning for lateral movement, and clicking to shoot or open doors. While it\u2019s certainly not the most comfortable method to play *Doom*, it cleverly utilizes the wheel that comes with the charger.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No Hardware Modifications<\/strong>. Remarkably, this implementation does not require any \u00a0physical modifications\u00a0 to the device. Christophyl simply used the USB-C port to load the game software, allowing the charger to maintain its primary function of charging other devices while also giving users the option to play *Doom*.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More and More Crazy Ideas<\/strong>. This instance adds to the long list of \u00a0unusual devices\u00a0 where *Doom* has been executed over the years. From calculators and \u00a0pregnancy tests\u00a0 to lawnmowers<\/a>, the popular novelty shooter has become the definitive test for showcasing the capabilities of any hardware with a processor. And what remains to be seen is just how far this phenomenon will continue.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <img alt=\"In 2017, four Australians revolutionized video games.
