> Can it play Doom?

>...We're working on it.

Seriously though, can a ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather[1] (dual-core Xtensa @ 240 MHz, 512KB built-in RAM, 2MB external PSRAM, 4MB Flash) play Doom? As usual with these microcontroller-type things, it looks like storage poses a harder limit than compute, but maybe just a bit of Doom could be crammed in?

Seems like you can do it using Retro-Go, that's using a port of PrBoom 2.5.0. (No sound, though)

Espressif do publish one [0] themselves, but that requires extra RAM - 4MB, not the two this seems to have.

So its probably doable, but may require a few modifications.

Since it's an ESP32 board all the way down, it should be possible. You can already run Super Mario NES edition on it
