Hackers Successfully Run Doom on Nintendo's Alarmo Clock

A hacker has demonstrated how to play Doom on Nintendo's new smart alarm clock using custom firmware.

  • Nintendo's Alarmo, a smart alarm clock, has been hacked to run the classic 1993 game Doom, thanks to the work of hardware enthusiast GaryOderNichts.
  • The hack allows Doom to be played using the Alarmo's built-in controls, with the spinning wheel for aiming and side buttons for shooting.
  • GaryOderNichts shared the process on GitHub, enabling others to replicate the feat without physically altering the device.
  • While there is no audio due to memory constraints, the shareware version of Doom can be loaded entirely from a USB drive.
  • This hack is part of a broader trend of running Doom on unconventional devices, continuing a long-standing tradition among tech enthusiasts.
