Doom on vape and calculator
Doom is probably the most ported game to strange devices. We all remember the original game running on a lawn mower , power supply , or even a pregnancy test, but things have now reached a new level with the first attempt on a vape.
The first case comes from Reddit, where a user showcased Doom running natively on a scientific Casio calculator. This isn’t entirely new mod, since such attempts were made before, but it serves as a reminder of how easy it has become.

In fact, there’s an entire page dedicated to modding graphic scientific calculators, featuring a Doom port, a Minecraft mod, and even an NES emulator. It’s the sort of hobby that makes a calculator far more interesting than just a number cruncher, and maybe a useful distraction for anyone who forgot their phone.

A funnier example is Doom appearing on a vape. To be clear, this isn’t the game running natively on the hardware. Instead, the modder enabled screen sharing so the device could display the gameplay feed. Even so, some users argue that if the display works, there’s no reason a stripped-down port couldn’t eventually run on the system itself.

The device in question is the Aspire PIXO, a ~30€ vape that surprisingly carries capable hardware. It uses a Puxa PY32F403XC ARM chip with 64KB of RAM, 256KB of flash, and an external 16MB SPI flash. Other components include a BLE chip, a 323×173 LCD screen, a heating coil, vibration motor, and even a microphone. Thanks to custom firmware, the system can accept screen sharing through USB, which makes it possible to stream Doom or even videos directly to the vape’s display. The developer has also released firmware backups and a browser-based tool called VapeCloudStreamer, which handles the screen share connection.
While this doesn’t mean the Aspire PIXO is suddenly a gaming handheld, it’s another entry in Doom’s long history of unusual ports, showing that if a device has a display, someone will find a way to run Doom on it. And let’s all thank the Doom devs for releasing this game as shareware.
