# Hackers Prove Doom Playable on Neo Geo Console
Hackers have successfully demonstrated that running Doom on the Neo Geo console is technically feasible, contrary to recent claims that the feat was impossible. Last month, Modern Vintage Gamer asserted that the game could not function on the Neo Geo due to the console's sprite-based display hardware architecture and lack of a frame buffer.
The rapid development of a working port has proven this assessment incorrect. The accomplishment challenges the previous conclusion that the Neo Geo's technical limitations presented an insurmountable barrier to running the classic 1993 shooter.
The incident highlights how declarative statements about technical impossibilities can inspire the hacking community to find solutions. The successful port demonstrates that creative engineering approaches can overcome hardware constraints previously thought to be absolute obstacles.
