A dedicated DOOM enthusiast, NyanSatan, has achieved the remarkable feat of running the classic DOOM game on Apple's Lightning/HDMI adapter. This adapter, as NyanSatan explains, utilizes iOS-based firmware and a processor clocked at up to 168 MHz. The process involved accessing the adapter's firmware and then executing the game, leveraging a MacBook for firmware transfer due to the adapter's lack of internal memory.
This accomplishment follows a trend of creative DOOM ports across various unconventional platforms.
Meanwhile, news emerges regarding an upcoming iteration of the DOOM franchise. DOOM: The Dark Ages will feature significantly enhanced accessibility options. Executive producer Marty Stratton highlights the studio's commitment to making the game approachable to a wider audience. Players will gain extensive control over game difficulty, adjusting enemy damage, projectile speed, player damage intake, and other parameters like game pace, enemy aggression, and parry timing.
Stratton further clarifies that prior experience with DOOM: The Dark Ages isn't necessary to understand its storyline or that of DOOM: Eternal. The game promises a level of customization unseen in previous id Software titles.
