Doom Invades Nintendo’s Alarmo Clock: Hacker Brings Classic FPS to Unexpected Device

Iconic Game ‘Doom’ Now Playable on Nintendo’s Alarmo Clock

In a testament to its enduring popularity and adaptability, the classic first-person shooter ‘Doom’ has found yet another unconventional home. This time, it’s on Nintendo’s Alarmo clock, joining a long list of unexpected devices capable of running the game.

Hacker GaryOberNicht recently demonstrated the feat, showcasing Doom running smoothly on the Alarmo’s small screen. The clock’s built-in controls, typically used for setting alarms and adjusting time, now serve as game inputs, allowing players to navigate through Doom’s demon-infested corridors.

The process of loading Doom onto the Alarmo is surprisingly straightforward. GaryOberNicht has made the necessary software and instructions available on Github, enabling other enthusiasts to replicate the hack. Importantly, this modification doesn’t require any hardware changes to the Alarmo, relying solely on software manipulation.

This achievement builds upon the initial work of another hacker, Spinda, who first cracked the Alarmo’s system. By utilizing the clock’s USB mode and USB-C port, custom firmware can be loaded, opening up possibilities for further software modifications.

While Doom is currently the star of this hack, the implications extend beyond a single game. This development suggests that the Alarmo could potentially run other software or games, expanding its functionality far beyond its original purpose as a clock.

Nintendo has not yet commented on these modifications to their product. As the hacking community continues to explore Alarmo’s capabilities, it remains to be seen how the company will respond to these unauthorized but innovative uses of their hardware.

This latest port of Doom serves as a reminder of the game’s incredible versatility and the ingenuity of the modding community. As technology evolves, it seems that Doom’s ability to run on increasingly diverse platforms shows no signs of slowing down.
