Will it run DOOM?

James Sharman will be a household name to pretty much everyone who has watched one of Ben Eater's video series’ at some point, and explored the extent of YouTube's recommendation algorithm.

We've criminally neglected James. Criminally because the machine he's built over the last 2 years is more than respectable. Especially since James was one of the few to implement pipelining for his homebrew CPU.

And now - two years later - after the thing can at least be called capable enough, the everlasting question comes up: Will it run DOOM?

You will get an answer in his video. And no, for those who don't know the series yet, no significant spoiler here.

But the result is quite interesting.
