Does it Run Doom?
Clive "James" Python, 2019-11-13Over the years since Doom was released in December 1993, it has been ported - or at least loosely translated - to nearly every type of hardware capable of running it even semi-decently, from the ZX Spectrum, to a Porsche 911, it would seem that Doom is able to run on most things with a CPU. This was helped, in part, by the source code of Doom being released in 1997, under a not-for-profit license. Later, permission was granted to re-release the source code under the GNU GPL in October 1999.
One thing that you should note on this page is that some of the ports do not use any of the original IWAD data, and do not also use any of the original code for the game. So in other words, it isn't a true Doom port, however, if it runs, looks, and overall feels like Doom, then it will be listed here.

| iPod Nano 2 | Yes | It's running Freedoom, but it's still an IWAD. Re: Doom running on iPod Nano 2 |
| iPod (5th generation) | Yes | A hack allowed 5th generation iPods to run a port of Doom. It is also possible to run Doom on iPods running Rockbox's Rockdoom plugin (based on PrBoom). This requires installing Rockbox on a supported device, then installing Rockdoom, and finally copying the WAD file of the game to run. This makes Doom available on virtually all devices supported by Rockbox - but the actual implementation, restricted controls, device's power, and screen can make it unplayable. |

| Commodore 128 | Yes | Doom for the Commodore SuperCPU is a direct port of the Linux Doom source code to the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 computer systems with the SuperCPU upgrade, which consists of a 65c816 clocked at 20 MHz with an accompanying 16 MB RAM upgrade. It was developed by Commodore hacker AmiDog as a test application for his MIPS Recompiler, a program which allows dynamic binary translation of MIPS programs to the 65c816.

| Commodore VIC-20 | Yes | vicdoom is a Doom source port to the Commodore VIC-20 8-bit home computer system, programmed by Kweepa. Eight of the nine levels of Knee-Deep in the Dead are provided, in a simplified format. Many superfluous areas are removed to fit the levels into system memory constraints, and all height differences are removed as the game engine is not capable of dealing with them.

| soso OS | Yes | The soso OS was seemly only made to be able to be able to play Doom. The port isn't the best, as you can't use cheat codes, oh, and good luck saving a game, for some reason you can't type in any letters into the would-be save file.
