Overview
- Hardware hacker Aaron Christophel ported the 1993 shooter to the desktop charging station and posted gameplay footage.
- The unit uses a roughly 150 MHz Synwit SWM34x ARM-class MCU with 8 MB SDRAM, 16 MB external flash, and a 200×480 color display.
- Performance looks smooth when the image is scaled rather than full-screen, matching his “works better than expected” assessment.
- All input comes from the single rotary encoder for movement, turning, and firing, and the demo runs without audio.
- Software was loaded via the device’s debugging header with no physical modification, with reports noting scarce public documentation for the Synwit chip.
