You can run Doom on a literal potato

    But not on a Neo Geo!

    TL;DW - the Neo Geo has a uniquely bad architecture for FPS games making them nearly impossible to get working on the console.

    That's being changed, however, as a bunch of determined devs are using raycasting to go around the console's limitations, being heavily optimized to run SNK's arcade titles.

    I have seen people run Doom on a pregnancy test, and you are telling me that the Neo Geo can't run it!?

    That video is a hoax. It's a small screen inserted into a pregnancy test, cables run out the side which is never brought into frame.

    It seems since I have made this post that a huge amount of progress has been made in getting FPS games running on the neogeo.

    I'm curious who your sole downvoter was. Was it a potato producer that dislikes gaming ? Perhaps a lemon farmer who feels their fruit could run doom on 4k. Was it someone who purchased a $5000 dollar rig only to find out they could have bought a singular potato? I guess we'll never know
