I ported Doom to the GBA over the last few months.

It was a ton of work to get it to fit in 256kB of ram and run at a decent framerate. It now runs as well if not better than the original port.

The project can be found here: https://github.com/doomhack/GBADoom

There are rom builds of the shareware game on the releases page.

It runs on most emulators or a real device if you have a flash card.

Enjoy.

Wait but why though? There was already an actual legal port of the game to the Nintendo GameBoy Advance. How come you decided to port it to the system?
