bareDOOM
bareDOOM is a patchset for the barebox bootloader that integrates DOOM with the available barebox frameworks for framebuffer, input, file system and so on ... etc. This allows it to run everywhere where barebox is running, be it on a x86 laptop under UEFI, on industrial machinery or even a RISC-V emulator compiled to WebAssembly. Head over to barebox.org to try the latter out.
As barebox often functions as bare metal hardware bring up kit, it can be useful for porting DOOM to new boards.
What works?
- Video
- PC-Speaker Sound
- Input
- Loading IWADs from external file
- No hardcoded Framebuffer format
- Both 32-bit and 64bit systems
- little-endian and big-endian systems
