Tech enthusiast gets Doom to run on a 40-year-old printer controller — ancient Agfa Compugraphic 9000PS came with a Motorola 68020 onboard for fast processing

A TechTuber successfully runs Doom on a 40-year-old Agfa Compugraphic 9000PS printer controller, showcasing the process of adding new firmware, display, and audio output to the board. The Agfa Compugraphic 9000PS was a powerful device used for interpreting PostScript files and converting them into printable images. The TechTuber delves into reverse engineering the ROM code and replacing the Adobe PostScript interpreter with custom firmware to enable running Doom and other demos on the controller. Despite the slow performance and lack of keyboard support, the project highlights the potential for repurposing old hardware for retro computing enjoyment.
