LGR - Doom on a Digital Camera

Corey Ruth

Hahaha Doom on a digital camera - this is amazing!

You've got to cover the Deer Avenger games man!

Clint, you may have seen this. https://youtu.be/NPWi5yJK3zo It seems DOOM runs on quite a few things, including Canon Pixma printers lol

LGR

Ooh, that's one to keep in mind for a future video perhaps. I had an older model of the same range of MP3 players back in the day, but it only had a monochrome screen.

Running Doom on things that aren't made to run Doom. So oddly satisfying! lol Probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever played Doom on was a Sandisk Sansa MP3 player (with an oddly similar C250 model number) with a 1.4" 132x80 screen. It was barely playable but so cool at the same time.

I love that it runs so much better than the official GBA version - granted the specs of this camera are quite a bit beefier.

I kinda faintly remember about stories of it back in the past - but I'd always thought it was some custom firmware or the likes. Not that those cameras ran a custom OS which allowed apps to be written for them. That's the coolest bit by far. And more than anything that early build of MAME certainly brought back memories of running it on my old 486 with a bunch of frameskipping!

This is so pointless that I can't help but applaud the effort

Adam Christensen

Doom running on unexpected things and a cameo from Vaxeen 4U? YES! Thank you! :D

Mark

Enjoy the holidays, Clint!

The first camera review without shooting a picture. ;-) And I liked it. I am wondering if a program or a game could make use of the camera.

Is it just me or is level 30 on Doom 2 on ultra violent a complete pain in the ass, wouldn't wanna try it on a camera.

Terry Lee

Playing Pac-Man that slow is essentially if the game included a easy mode option!

This is so great! I definitely want to try out the TI-83 Plus Doom port as well.

The 8-Bit Guy

Very neat. I remember seeing this back in the day and had totally forgotten about it. It plays it surprisingly well. I mean you can see the frame rate looks like it is somewhere around 15 FPS... (that's just a guess) which is certainly playable.

Michael Dragone

Fascinating! How do you even find out about these things? (And how come you don’t use the LGR remixed theme song anymore?)

Vlaphor

I love this kind of stuff. Doom has become a fancier "Hello World". I wonder if Minecraft is is the modern day equivalent of that. Also, speaking of Doom on things, I'm sure you've seen this image before, but I'm always happy to share it https://imgur.com/i0C0Xae

Ryan Yoder

Way better than Amiga clones. Very impressive

Steve Lovelace

I wish someone would develop an Instagram app for it. Though I'm afraid that much hipsterness might cause a black hole that destroys the world.

Dude, 66MHz and 8Mb of RAM? That's pretty beefy for a camera, but can it run Do... Oh, wait Thanks for the holiday treat!

Tim Coffey

That's awesome.

LGR

For real though! Even if it's a cut-down version of the CPU, it's bonkers what it can pull off in such a cramped footprint. And yep, that's a TV! A rather nice one though, one of the few of that size from that era with stereo speakers. KV-1380R.

John Bailey

For 1998 that's a LOT of processing power packed into a camera. Impressive that it works that well, considering it's only a 66 MHz chip. Out of curiosity, is that actually a TV, or is that one of the Sony PVM's?

LGR

Woo, happy birthday!

Akselmo

Well this was a nice birthday present! :D haha

LGR

Thanks, you too!

Yeah it's an awesome piece of late 90s miniaturization. Just four years prior and you'd need a desktop to do this, the decade was insane.

LGR

Indeed, I imagine going from something like the Sony FD Mavica to this thing was huge. Impressively forward-looking stuff.

LGR

Now to track down a thermostat that plays Doom.

LGR

Not quite! Dom Casual Bold :)

Chris Munch

Wow, I had a $1000 digital camera in 1997 and it was still using a floppy adapter and could only hold like 9 photos. What a difference a year makes.

First a calculator now this? That's incredible :)

JennaKay

That UI, comic sans? Lovely clip art. I miss when that style of UI was more prevalent.

Zem Hysong

Neat! Love things like this. Also, Happy Thanksgiving, Dood.

Hatey

Dude complains about the d-pad while playing Doom on a camera. Bless your heart

Joe Conti

This is awesome. Not sure how they crammed a 66mhz PPC in that thing but wow. Happy Thanksgiving Clint!

Johnathan Seymour

Time for Christmas clone. CHRISTMAS!.... christmas......

Frederic St-Georges

Tonight, over the horizon to the East, a new star has risen. All the people rejoiced for the imminent return of... the Christmas Clone!

Carey Brown

Dood!! Nice! Also, Happy Thanksgiving!

LGR

To you as well!

Happy Thanksgiving🦃
