Have you ever woken up and asked if running Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Vice City on a TP-Link router is possible? No? Well, one hardware hacker in Germany apparently did and made it a reality.

The individual, who goes by the handle Manawyrm on YouTube, posted a video of his achievement on the site. Using a TP-Link WDR4900 and an AMD Radeon HD 7470 as an eGPU, he shows off his success getting GTA Vice City up and running with a wink and a kiss.

If you’re wondering why that particular 2013 router model, there’s a pretty interesting reason. As Tom’s Hardware explains, the TP-Link WDR4900 was a favourite amongst hardware modders and hackers, primarily because it is powered by a PowerPC-based CPU, made by NXP. Specifically, a PowerPC e500v2 32-bit processor.
