Does it run an online version of Doom?

[–] Blamemeta@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its not powerful enough. Might do wolfenstein tho.

If doom can run on a thermistat, then it can run on a IBM PC Jr.

Im telling you, it literally can't. You need a 486 or better, and it doesn't have that. Just pure instruction set problem. Also below the min ram requirements.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=7ZzivzuDOls&ab_channel=NostalgiaNerd

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Not sure that counts as running lol

Since it's a webserver running on this, would it be possible to deliver a JavaScript implementation of DOOM?

[–] Blamemeta@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

You could, but then it wouldn't really be runing on the pcjr
