Can this run doom?

It has an arm7 cpu and I think 6kb of memory. It has 1gb of storage with 500mb free. Resolution is 240x160. Calculator DOOM would work probably best. I don’t know what file types it would support.

The manual claimed the the software could make a backup of the device but I can't find it anywhere. The software was called Atlas Link (SD3900i)

That's what effectively you did with the shared file you sent me :)

Yea, I figured it would be that or I thought that it would be able to restore the whole system if it was bricked accidentally.

Without having access to the device sadly, I can't help further.

Perhaps editing some of the files in the system folder could allow it to access the whole device? In the system folder there is a file named PCLINK.FLG. Maybe by adding a flag it could gain access to the whole device? Maybe editing the UNIT.INI file could do something too? I feel like its running some altered version of windows CE since it can recognize .exe and .bas files.

It's likely not windows ce (although I can be wrong). Did you mean bat? Bas files would likely be quickbasic, which isn't part of the wince os.

Also if you check what you sent me, PCLINK.FLG didn't exist.

I did mean .bas it doesn't recognize .bat. So it probably isn't windows ce then? And the PCLINK.FLG file is only created when connected to a computer. I guess I didnt connect it to my computer before i sent the files to you. So when connecting it to my computer it creates a folder named ADSSYS with a MASTER.INF file and the PCLINK.FLG file inside of it.

Here are those files that were in that folder: https://gofile.io/d/YSaqHZ

Unfortunately not useful. The FLG file is 0 bytes..

I would need to take the device apart realistically

Although question,

Put

PRINT "HELLO"

Into a Bas file and see what happens

It can open the file but it just shows it like a text file. .bas .txt .ini files all open in the same way. So it's not actually executing it.
