Mattel HyperScan can run Doom

[SylverReZ]

@ppcasm whose been in the HyperScan homebrew scene around the time when it launched, has managed to get Doom running; albeit with slowdown due to the hardware's limitations. LiraNuna reversed engineered the firmware's functionality to make this possible.

Interesting, I remember that I should note that I haven't been doing HyperScan development ALL this time, haha. I did it for a short period way back then, and then more recently like the last 3 months or so I got tired of nothing being done on it, so I reverse engineered USB, ported FATFS, wrote a USB loader menu, reverse engineered the controllers, wrote some libraries, wrote custom firmware and a custom bootloader, all kinda shits. I'd consider the DOOM port HIGHLY experimental right now, but hopefully I'll get a chance to really push it to run properly some day. The SDK is open source and includes other demos in case anyone wants to mess with things. It's not very well documented yet other than in the code, but hopefully this will be of interest to someone who cares to see it progress.
