Default The nightmare of getting DOOM running on PowerPC AIX

Can’t get enough of porting old software? How about getting Doom ported to and running on an old version of AIX for PowerPC?

You know what ever computer needs? DOOM. Do you know what I couldn’t find? DOOM for the IBM RS/6000, but that’s not surprising. These machines were never meant for gaming, but that’s doesn’t mean you can’t do it. If you like pain anyway.
[…]

In this extra long NCommander special, we’re going to explore AIX, discuss the RS/6000 Model 150 43p I’m running it on. Throughout this process, I’d explore the trouble in getting bash to build, getting neofetch to work, then the battle for high colors, SDL, and more.

This video is over an hour long, but incredibly detailed and lovingly obscure.
