Neo Geo's architecture makes Doom port impossible

A detailed analysis suggests that porting the game Doom to the Neo Geo console is functionally impossible due to its specific hardware architecture. While the Neo Geo possesses capable sprite-based 2D graphics processing, it lacks the necessary bitmap graphics modes and direct memory access required for Doom's 3D rendering. The console's design is optimized for 2D sprites, making it ill-suited for the complex 3D environments and texture mapping inherent to Doom. Even a software-based renderer would face insurmountable obstacles without significant hardware augmentation.
