The impressiveness of this overcomes the disappointment that it wasn't some actual mass-produced ornament that happened to have a CPU powerful enough to run Doom ;)


Reminds me of the Tinycircuits that have been posted here before: https://tinycircuits.com/


Does anyone have experience with Tinycircuits products? My 9-year-old daughter wants the TV and arcade for Christmas.

How hackable are they? I'm afraid it's just going to become a toy she plays with for a day and gets bored.

...

Oh, also since this is a Doom post, I'll selfishly mention that I always wish these ported-Doom-to-hardward-x projects would demo using the Ultimate Simpsons Doom 2 mod that I helped publish. https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Ultimate_Simpsons_Doom


Sounds like it’s time for a kickstarter


Well, no. bombcar wants it to be a hack on a device that has a different purpose intended by its makers.


Yeah, I'd love the little ornament as is and would probably buy one, but the best "it runs Doom" are when it's run on something clearly not designed for it (a printer, etc).


Agreed on the “it runs Doom”, but it could be great as a “run apps from the community” where it’s super easy to share and install code (community directory and an install script that can select them, for example).

Just ideas. This thing looks super cool and runs surprisingly well. Makes me want to see it do more...


My thoughts exactly
