Running DOOM on Our Custom CPU and Going Viral

Running Doom on Our Custom CPU and Going Viral

We successfully ran DOOM on a custom CPU we built from scratch by overcoming massive memory and speed barriers. After designing a pipelined processor and integrating DDR3 memory with a cache system, we deployed the game on an FPGA. This journey transformed our simple logic gate experiments into a machine capable of running full published games.

"Doom is a video game made by id Software that released in 1993, and its popularity has given rise to the saying 'Doom can run on anything'."
