Modder brings Doom to Nintendo's cutesy Alarmo clock
Just a few weeks after the Nintendo Alarmo was introduced to the public, developers have already found a way to play the granddaddy of modern first-person shooters
Just a few weeks after the Nintendo Alarmo was introduced to the public, developers have already found a way to "play" the granddaddy of modern first-person shooters on its tiny 2.8-inch LCD screen.
A talented programmer known as "GaryOderNichts," who specializes in reverse engineering Nintendo's discontinued Wii U console, recently announced that the Alarmo can finally show "what everyone wanted to see." Doom can run on the game-related clock although audio support is still missing.
GaryOderNichts's attempt to mod or tweak the Alarmo's native features began just a few days ago when the coder studied the gadget's internal hardware and software setup. The clock's PCB includes an STM32H730ZBI6 MCU and a 4GB eMMC chip manufactured by Kioxia, and the system's content was relatively easy to dump and decrypt. The programmer built on the work previously done by another coder (Spinda), who managed to dump the eMMC contents before anyone else.
After my last post, it was pretty clear what everyone wanted to see on the Alarmo. So, here it is - Doom running on the Nintendo Alarmo! pic.twitter.com/WimckYPnXZ
