JSConf México 2026 Meshtastic Badge community release (2026-11-02)

alternative firmware

Hanzeel Villa's unofficial port runs shareware DOOM episode 1 on the GBADoom engine, built for the Game Boy Advance's 256 KB, across the full 428x142 display with a 110-degree field of view and a minimal health, armour, ammo, and keys HUD. The author measured 26 to 35 frames per second on the first level, played with the four buttons, with no sound, no saved games, and no automap button.

Status
community release (2026-11-02)
Compatibility
JSConf México 2026 badge over USB with PlatformIO and esptool 5 or later; tested only on Windows 11 with a badge on official firmware v0.2.0. It replaces the stock firmware and erases the name, messages, radio settings, and axolotl collection, so the author asks for a full 8 MB flash backup first, which took about ten minutes with esptool --no-stub.
