Thanks to homebrew creators, the Nintendo Alarmo can now run DOOM
Scene homebrew creator @GaryOderNichts is no stranger to getting custom software to run on platforms. particularly the Wii U. This time around, though, enthusiasts have gotten custom code to run on something even more unusual: the Nintendo Alarmo. Less than a month after the clock's release, users were doing technical teardowns and finding out how to run custom code on it. And of course, a method to run everyone's favorite, DOOM, on the Alarmo, was discovered. GaryOderNichts made a detailed breakdown about the process of how the Alarmo works, and then four days later, followed it up with a video of 1993's DOOM running on the clock. Not only can it run, but it can even be controlled, by the little button on top of the Alarmo. Because of course.
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
