World's Smallest TV Console Runs DOOM

Original: The World’s Smallest TV Console Plays DOOM https:// hackaday.com/2026/10/08/the-wo rlds-smallest-tv-console-plays-doom/

A Hackaday feature showcases a tiny homemade TV game console built around an ESP32-S3 microcontroller that can run DOOM and output to a PAL television. The project is being shared among hardware hobbyists, continuing the long-running internet tradition of testing whether new devices can run the 1993 shooter.

Why now: The 'does it run DOOM' challenge remains a popular benchmark for minimal hardware, and this record-small build is a fresh example.
