Getting DOOM to run on an unconventional device has become its own benchmark in a way, as it tests the skill of the developer and showcases the intense flexibility of the classic title. To demonstrate how much developers enjoy getting DOOM to run on devices you would never expect, here's a short list of the devices that have successfully been able to play the game:

The Anker Prime GaN charger features a 480 x 200-pixel 2.26-inch LCD display along with a Synwit AWM34S ARM SoC. The chip is running at 150MHz and has 8MB of SDRAM along with 16MB of flash storage. Those specifications are more than enough to support DOOM. Additionally, the game was loaded onto the device without any hardware mods as the developer used the built-in debugging header.
