Now do it without adding hardware.

extra hardware plugged inside

That’s it, y’all. Go home. This thread was won before it had even begun.

Is this like the ultimate consumer product?

Not me thinking the extra hardware referred to his penis… disappointed. not at the lack of penis, but because it’s kinda cheaty

Plugged inside of what?

What a fun way to play the game. 😳

vrighter ,

Ported in the same way that I could port crysis to my childhood pc from 1995 by putting the innards of my current pc in that old case, and using an hdmi to vga, and ps2 to usb adapters.

Killing demons and getting them out at the same time.

zaphod ,

I’d say the sex toys are going to far if they can run Doom.

BestBouclettes ,

Pretty much, what kind of shit needs that kind of processing power to vibrate ?

Yes but now you can let the advertisers know whenever and how fast you’re … enjoying your time

BestBouclettes ,

Or baiting and botnetting at the same time !

moody ,

They can’t. He put extra hardware in it to make it work. But that doesn’t make for a catchy clickbait title, so they left that part out of it.

zaphod ,

That’s just lame, if I put my computer in my fridge I wouldn’t say that my fridge is then able to run Crysis.

But if a big company does it suddenly it’s OK! /s

“Haptic feedback”.

Rai ,

I have a copy of PS2’s “Rez” with its accessory—the Rez Trance Vibrator. It’s quite fun.

Zip2 ,

I bet it is. Until you accidentally pull the cable a bit too hard.

Rai ,

They give you a verrrrrry long cable. But according to the game’s creator, it’s “not a sex thing.”

It definitely feels like one.

It comes with a washable slip cover!

AcidOctopus ,

Uhhhhh, rip and tear?

Mango ,

Until it is you cum.

Pregnancy test was all right, but sex toy is too far?

Well yeah, don’t you know? Pregnancy is “wholesome” while sex is “dirty”, any relationship between the two is purely coincidental…

/s just in case

chonglibloodsport ,

Well they needed to do that one first, just in case…

IsoKiero ,

Didn’t read this article, but the pregnancy test doom was “just” a microcontroller with oled display shoehorned inside pregnancy test case. So, if that counts then you could make a rock or concrete slab to play doom.

kernelle ,

You just described any smart device out there, why wouldn’t it count?

IsoKiero ,

The original challenge is to get doom running on random devices with their own hardware. If that wasn’t the case I could just duct tape a laptop to a stick and claim that the stick is running doom.

kernelle ,

That’s some serious gatekeeping lmao, I thought we were past that. Having a high level layer makes it easier to run custom code yes, but gaining access to that layer is the definition of hardware hacking. Not breaking the original functionality (or in this case expanding on it) is still impressive and encapsulates the original spirit of ‘you can run Doom on anything’ perfectly.

IsoKiero ,

How is pregnancy test running doom if there’s nothing else but the plastic casing remaining of it and the ‘running doom’ part doesn’t have a single part from the original hardware? On this case it’s at least using the original display and buttons (I assume) while keeping the original hardware in place for ‘kill indicator’, but that toy itself isn’t running doom either.

I dont keep any gates, but if it’s enough that a case remains from the original hardware you can get anything bigger than your fist to run doom by ripping the guts of original out and replacing it with a raspbery pi. And in that case the only ‘hardware hacking’ is the hot glue keeping the thing together.

kernelle ,

If you replace all the internals it’s not the same, I get your point. But not every Doom-run is like that. These days they run some kind of busybox on any smart device, so technically any smart device could run doom. But the way they do it is still incredibly interesting.

IsoKiero ,

These days they run some kind of busybox on any smart device, so technically any smart device could run doom.

That’s true, but I don’t think it’s the same to shove in attiny/arduino/whatever in place of original motherboard/cpu and building your own ‘doom-machine’ with off-the shelf parts, specially if you replace/recreate user interface too. The masturbator on the post link is obviously a different thing, even if it’s using a separate hardware to actually run doom there’s some hacking involved to get the toy to ‘fire’ based on game events, but even then the toy itself doesn’t run doom.

The better, but less clickbaity, title would be ‘I hacked my sex toy to respond into game events’ or something like that. And that on itself is a interesting enough topic to go with, regardless if it runs doom or not. And as a side note, I bet there’s people who would pay actual money to get a hold of that kind of gadget. Actually, I’m surprised if there isn’t any on the market already which would tap into force feedback commands from directX or something to provide ‘haptic feedback’ with a toy like this.

catloaf ,

the creator cracked it open and stuck some extra hardware inside

Yeah, this isn’t a sex toy running Doom either. Same thing happened here.

cikano ,

Too far?? I say that’s not far enough!

Exactly, these clever innovations are some of the few things we get to hear about in our current hellscape.
