Modder Runs Doom on Nintendo's Alarmo Clock

A hacker successfully plays the classic game Doom on Nintendo's Alarmo, showcasing the device's unexpected capabilities.

  • GaryOderNichts, a modder, has managed to run Doom on the recently released Nintendo Alarmo, a digital alarm clock.
  • The game runs smoothly despite the Alarmo not being designed for gaming, although it lacks sound and has clunky controls.
  • The hack was made possible by modifying the firmware and using a version of Chocolate Doom, a simplified source port.
  • Previous unconventional Doom ports include running the game on devices like tractors, ATMs, and even pregnancy tests.
  • This achievement could lead to more hacks unless Nintendo implements measures to restrict such modifications.
