Doom runs surprisingly well on Anker Prime Charger — 150 MHz CPU and decent screen results in 'better than expected' FPS per mAh


‘Anker Doom’ runs pretty smoothly on the small color screen, using the click dial to navigate the claustrophobic corridors and slay demons.

Much more important to Doom are the Anker’s 2.26-inch 480 x 200 pixels color display and, as Christophel points out, its SoC (System on Chip) the Synwit SWM34S with 8MB SDRAM and 16MB of storage. Christophel underlines this Anker Doom demo as running “completely without any hardware modifications.” He has only used the debugging header – you can see a few stray wires round the back of the device - for loading the game software. Stand out examples include Doom on a lawnmower, on a Pregnancy Test device, and the game being ported to run directly from a PDF file.
