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.

Imagine that everytime an alarm plays it opens doom lol so when you wake up you can game (if you can even connect a controller wireless or with wires by regular means)

Nintendo Alarmo... Doom... so basically... Doom Alarmo...
AHA! It wakes you up with the shotgun sounds? :D
Impressive work, +1 argument to "Doom runs on everything" which is nice and funny.

    Understandable. I did try to warn others about this cartridge, but they didn't listen to me or anybody else about the EZ-Flash and bought them anyways, only to realise that they wasted their money.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, It acts kinda the same way as an Ace3DS+ cartridge, because it uses the commonly known Wood kernel as a base.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    I have three EZ Flash Omega/DEs and I really was thinking that the EZ Flash Parallel would work similar to how the Omega worked. Where it recognizes the file extension and loads that file accordingly.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    To play an NES game on the EZ Flash Omega, you just toss it on the SD card and select it from the menu and it loads it in to the NES emulator.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    The EZ Flash Parallel just works like every single other card I have.

    My wife just got a 3DS, and I was hoping that the EZ Flash Parallel was something I wouldn't have to walk her through.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    I can walk her through how to do something like loading an NES game on a $10 cartridge.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least she has a console to play games on. :D

    We've been playing Animal Crossing in the morning after I finish chores and before she heads to work.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I've never played Animal Crossing Wild World for a long time. Probably the best games on the system so far.

    I hadn't played the game in about a year until she started playing it. My first day back involved a lot of weeding.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    Speaking of chores, they need to be started in about six and a half hours, so I need to hit the sack.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    You all take care!

    I love going to the drive thru like can I get some ketch up? Can I get some ketch up? You get home and there is still no ketch up
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Well here's the thing. Don't go to the drive through.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Drive inside the building
  • Veho @ Veho:
    You have two people taking your order and passing it on to other people who assemble the order and pass it on to the third or fourth group of people who hand it to you. Shit gets lost on the way.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's why you drive inside the building and tell them directly
  • Veho @ Veho:
    On one of those driving chairs from Wall-E.
