The last retro console I'd expect to run DOOM is the girly pop Casio Loopy, and yet, it can now run DOOM

Hand pointing at custom DOOM cartridge inserted into Casio Loopy console.

It's easy to see why the Casio Loopy, a Japanese console with a built-in sticker printer, didn't get an official port of DOOM. That hasn't stopped enthusiasts in the past, though, and the '90s 32-bit system that once targeted girl gamers with its lilac getup and library of "cosy" and romantic cartridges now runs id's ultra-violent boomer shooter.

I'm well used to seeing absurd DOOM ports, but the 1995 Casio Loopy wasn't on my bingo card (cheers for highlighting, Hackaday). You've got developer Throaty Mumbo to thank, as they took it upon themselves to acquire the retro console (something I've yet to do), and get the MS-DOS shooter running using a "Floopy Drive".
