If instead of WASM you decided to emulate a different DOOM target like a PC then you'd have to emulate the actual VGA graphics hardware and enough of the other PC hardware to run the game. That level of emulation is a difficult project on it's own.

got it, ok sweet. thank you so much for explaining. I don't know a ton about these programming circles, so I don't want to say the wrong thing if I can avoid it. Sounds like you're saying that no WASM runtime is, in this sense, qualifying - which makes sense!
