Is it possible to run Doom on a BIGTREETECH CB1?

[Pigeon]

Hello, very now to Linux and Armbian and have a BIGTREETECH PAD 7 (a BIGTREETECH CB1 with built in screen https://github.com/bigtreetech/Pad7/blob/master/BIGTREETECH Pad 7 v1.0 User Manual.pdf ).

 

I would really like to be able to run old-school Doom on it and was wondering if someone could tell me if it is possible, and then point me in the right direction of a noob-friendly tutorial if it is possible. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to read.

If it runs armbian for sure it's possible. Just install dosbox. Mount the folder to c
mount c /folder/path/to/doom

play the game.
You can run it native too, there are tons of possibilities. I think freedoom is one.

Chocolatedoom has deb packages for arm64
https://debian.pkgs.org/11/debian-main-arm64/chocolate-doom_3.0.1-1_arm64.deb.html
GZdoom 
https://zdoom.org/downloads

And tons more. Only question is, does it run Armbian?

We have one device in auto-tests and we might port it to 6.6.y

 

If that screen works, its unknown, but I would assume yes as we are using vendor kernel.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help (and NicoD's SBCs I love your videos, they are what got me into playing with SBC's). 

 

So to expand on this, is emulation an option, or is the CB1 module just too lacking did some Googling and seems like RetroPie is not an option.

Retropie is an option. It should run fine. You can use armbian-gaming to install it and also some other emulators.

This SoC should run ps1, some N64, snes, nes, gb, gba, ...
I don't think ppsspp would work on it. 
I'm not aware of the GPU drivers for this SoC. So not sure about things that need gpu. Most retropie emulators don't use gpu. For doom on dosbox you don't need gpu drivers either.

Is there a way to download and run the script from the command line? 

 

Sorry, ignore that. just used git to clone the github cd into the folder and used

bash armbian-gaming.sh
