The project, called pico-duke3D, supports both SNES and USB controllers, and runs both the shareware and full versions of the 1996 shooter. The piece contrasts the hardware requirements of Duke Nukem 3D (486DX2, 8MB RAM) against the earlier DOOM (386, 4MB), noting Duke Nukem 3D was more of a Quake-era competitor. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Yes, a project called pico-duke3D runs Duke Nukem 3D on an RP2350-based DVI-equipped Pico clone board. It supports both SNES and USB controllers with the right hardware, and works with both the shareware version and the full game if you own a copy, effectively turning the board into a dedicated single-game console. _Developers tinkering with retro game ports on microcontrollers can find similar embedded projects on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [EDuke32 • Duke3D for Windows, Linux, and macOS](https://daily.dev/posts/eduke32-duke3d-for-windows-linux-and-macos-acvpda3ox) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [The Neo Geo Does Run DOOM After All](https://daily.dev/posts/the-neo-geo-does-run-doom-after-all-ocl3rss5z) · Hackaday · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [DOOMBUDS](https://daily.dev/posts/doombuds-zaukw6epr) · Hacker News · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [Running Doom on a 20-Year-Old Snom 360 Office Phone](https://daily.dev/posts/running-doom-on-a-20-year-old-snom-360-office-phone-hlkxwumrg) · Lobsters · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#gaming](https://daily.dev/tags/gaming) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/does-it-run-duke-nukem-3d--khbd4nkiq) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Does It Run… Duke Nukem 3D?","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/does-it-run-duke-nukem-3d--khbd4nkiq","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/does-it-run-duke-nukem-3d--khbd4nkiq"},"datePublished":"2026-10-14T05:29:42.806Z","dateModified":"2026-10-14T06:14:00.838Z","description":"A developer known as PicoPlus-devel ported Duke Nukem 3D to the RP2350 microcontroller, running it on a DVI-equipped Pico clone board.
