But does it run DOOM? Yes!
After lots of massaging doomgeneric to fit within the memory budget and perf available on an ESP32-S3 with 16MB of Flash and 8MB of PSRAM.
Took 3 hours to figure this out. Also runs on the desktop using my little mcugdx game dev framework :D
Code here:
https://github.com/badlogic/babys-first-electroshock/tree/main/mcugdx/examples/doom
You can diff the main/doomgeneric folder against the upstream repo (which is based on fbdoom) to see what needed to be done for ESP32-S3

Happy with 42-44 fps :)
