Hobbyists get Doom running on an iPhone-based cyberdeck

Makers at SourceParts have ported the classic shooter Doom to a homemade cyberdeck built around an iPhone running Linux, and shared a short demo of the game in action. The project highlights the ongoing trend of repurposing old phones into DIY handheld computers. Comments in the maker community focus on the novelty of running the 1993 title on improvised hardware.
Why now: Getting Doom to run on unusual hardware is a long-running maker-community challenge that reliably draws attention.
