Hackers modify Nintendo Alarmo to play Doom without hardware changes

Hackers have successfully modified the Nintendo Alarmo, a $100 alarm clock, to run the classic game Doom without any hardware changes. YouTuber GaryOderNichts demonstrated this by using the device's controls to play the game, sharing instructions online. The Alarmo features a 2.8-inch screen and has been a target for hackers since its release in October. Gary bypassed the device's security to run custom firmware, allowing for various animations and images to be displayed. While the Alarmo cannot play sound due to memory limitations, it showcases the potential for further modifications. This development highlights the growing interest in hacking the device, which may prompt Nintendo to implement updates to restrict such activities.
