For many years, DOOM fans have been working to port this classic old game to every platform that has a screen. From the fridge down to MP3, as long as you have a screen, you can play Doom.
But recently, enthusiastic fans have discovered that there is still no platform for Doom — on an arcade called Naomi by Sega. The Naomi system, which once carried many of the sega Dreamcast era's 3D arcade classics, is now being used for a more important purpose: to play the original Doom.
Software engineer and arcade development enthusiast "DragonMinded" Jennifer Taylor released some footage of Doom running on the Naomi arcade system. This is a true porting, a version of the game running on system hardware rather than emulation.
However, the project is still in the early stages of development and is very prone to crashes. But Jennifer Taylor intends to implement it "slowly" and has already implemented basic game controls.
Now you can follow the progress of this port on GitHub. The porting of the Naomi platform is based on the Linux Framebuffer version made by Kristoffer Andersen, and through Jennifer Taylor's own modifications, built through the naomi arcade system's open source system library libnaomi, it helps developers build homemade games.
The Naomi arcade system is built on a similar architecture to Sega Dreamcast, and has featured games such as Crazy Taxi and House of death 2. However, its brother Dreamcast has long been ported by enthusiastic players and can be used to play Doom.
As the saying goes, "The old game never dies". But for Doom it's double.
