The newest Device to run Doom: Nintendo's Alarm Clock [Alarmo].

A hardware hacker [GaryOberNichts] has successfully modified Nintendo's $100 Alarmo device to run the classic video game Doom. This marking another milestone in the gaming community's tradition of porting the 1993 shooter to unconventional devices.

Doom, the iconic first person shooter, is often used to showcase how the open source game can run on almost any device you can think of. The hack came after researchers discovered vulnerabilities in the Alarmo's STM32H7 microcontroller, enabling custom firmware installation through its USB-C port.
YouTuber GaryOderNichts demonstrated the 2.8-inch circular alarm clock running Chocolate Doom natively, using the device's wheel for movement and side buttons for weapons. The hack requires no hardware modifications and works on the current 2.0 software version. Gary said it’s “possible to load the shareware version of Doom entirely from USB, without modifying the Alarmo.” And they’ve put the software and instructions for running it on Github, so almost any sufficiently knowledgeable and determined Alarmo owner can do it, too. Best of all, it can be done without opening the clock up at all. <https://youtu.be/5IOVYvSMAoU>
While everyone was waiting on news for the successor of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo released the Alarmo. A small plastic alarm clock that can wake one up with sounds from ones favorite Nintendo games. The Alarmo has a small 2.8-inch LCD at the front, a back and notification button on top and a dial on top which can be turned and pressed to act as a confirm button. The dial also includes an RGB LED. What makes it different from other alarm clocks? It has 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi to download software updates and additional themes, and it comes with a 24GHz mmWave presence sensor to react to your movements. <Inside there is an STM32H730ZBI6 MCU and a KIOXIA 4GB eMMC.>
