Using serial SD card for swap data, make Doom run great!

Not my project, it just happened to pop up in my recommended feed. If this can be accomplished for Doom, could this be re-utilized for other homebrew applications? I would be very interested in seeing if you could get increased performance with Half-Life or Half-Life mods

Other Homebrew can adopt it, nothing is stopping it. Half life and other commercial games no, at least not without the source code.
