Get posting then. A decent x86 emulator has just come out for it, and
it'll play Doom! What other reason do you need to get a Pi?

Why x86 emulation when you can (or should be able to) run a native
build?

probably because a native build wont run on ARM?

Runs just fine using prboom, etc.


prboom is not strictly doom.

..and nor is it precompiled to run on other than .86x architecture.

I've no idea what you're on about.

apt-get install prboom

installs the precompiled version of prboom for the Raspberry Pi (ARM)

Which is what I did 11 months ago when I took that photo.

That photo was taken almost 11 months ago fwiw. Do keep up!

Doom has been playable on the Pi since it came out. It may not be
doom.exe, but it's Doom the game and plays identically.
