I've seen it running on Samsung smart fridges. Microwaves. All sorts of stuff. I know a guy that cannibalized the guts from a Keurig and turned it into a computer that could run it.
Honestly, seeing it run on older equipment is more interesting since most electronics nowadays run a form of Android or Windows CE, so the only challenge is getting it on the device, not adapting for novel hardware and CPUs
It is interesting. But, I think people would get a little tired of seeing the same game over and over again. Don't get me wrong though - I do appreciate Doom and think it is a great game.
actually it should to be at least 32bit CPU (16+ MHz-ish). Technically it's of course possible to port the original source even to 8bit and 16bit CPUs, but they usually require hand-optimized assembly and scaled/cut-down assets (i.e. LOT of love and work), while this camera is using the original data, converting them to appropriate format at runtime, and I guess the code port was only about replacing platform-specific parts, but the BSP-based renderer and gameplay-logic code is mostly original one. Any 32+ bit CPU at 30+MHz with some similar video mode to 320x200 256color VGA mode should be capable to run DOOM at playable performance (with resolution near original 320x200). Slower CPUs can use the original "low detail" mode (duplicating every screen column) or lower resolution. The major pain is, when you don't have 256-indexed color mode on the target device, and you have to produce RGB data, that usually means you need rather something in the 60-100MHz range with fast memory to get the similar results (as 386 PC), and maybe even transcode the assets before playing the game to get some performance back, but then you need even more memory.

„Of course we start with doom first as it’s in the title“ Am I still on TH-cam ? What is this, quality content without clickbait/ showing title and thumbnail content at the end ? Dang ! Subbed
The processing capacity of the cameras is incredible, and more so that model, which can record videos. At first it surprises, but in reality under the camera case it has a minimum 100 MHz CPU, and I estimate that it will have between 2MB to 4MB of ram, left over to move the DOOM in conditions. The camera has a powerful CPU because you have to encode and decode the videos, including the audio track, and at the same time if it is recorded it has to show fluidity on the screen while recording. It is a marvel of engineering. That camera is equivalent to a 486 in terms of power.
It says it only has 66 MHz CPU though (2:07). Which I find still more impressive with how smoothly it runs Doom in addition to the rest of the software environment.
For my brother's birthday we always go to a swim park. I saw one girl holding up her camera and wondered "Is she taking video or pictures of strangers or of herself?" Today I saw a woman slowly walking through Home Depot and randomly stopping in the way of people. She was video chatting... ...in Home Depot.

We had a broken down coffee machine at my work. It has a full Windows CE subsystem installed. It runs Doom now. The maintenance guy that came out to fix it got a kick out of it, played it for a few minutes. While the machine is fixed, the maintenance guy showed me how to boot it into Windows, and he confirms they're shockingly overpowered, and (as long as I can find a CE port) that it could easily run Unreal Tournament.
Someone somewhere should put together a whole show called "Does It Run Doom?", that takes ever more esoteric devices and tries to get them to, well, run Doom.

My favorite "there is no reason for this to exist" implementation of Doom is the one included in Rockbox, allowing you to play Doom on an old-school iPod as well as potentially various other 10+ year old PMPs. Want clunky? Try playing an FPS on an iPod touchy scrolly wheel.
SNES Doom ran poorly, 3DO Doom and Saturn Doom ran like dogshit, but Playstation Doom ran decently (offering lots of new content), and Doom 64 ran pretty well (also being an almost entirely new game). You also have the ports on Atari Jaguar and Sega 32X, which actually ran smooth as silk, admittedly with some other concessions.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine it would be interesting to see if a combined CD/32x could have run the full game, perhaps with CD-quality audio. actually if I remember correctly the music didn't even suck due to hardware limitations but the fact that the port was rushed. some guy on YT made a much better version.
@@gamerguy425 I think that if Doom got ported to CD+32X, it would have been able to have been one of the best home ports. The 32X port has great framerate, if you play with a six button controller you actually have quite good controls, and the audio quality is crystal clear. Where it falters is that it cuts out a bunch of levels, it cuts out most rotations, and the music sucks, which could easily be fixed with the use of the CD, you would be able to fit all the levels and all the missing rotation graphics no sweat, and there'd be more than enough space left on the disk for a full recorded soundtrack. In fact, you could likely fit all of Doom 2 in there too, with maybe some trimming to levels here and there for the sake of framerate (as was done for Doom 1's levels) It would ultimately involve buying the 32X, which should probably never have existed, but say that you found one for like $5 after it was clear to everyone that Sega fucked up, and if you already had a Sega CD, it'd be a pretty sweet port to pick up, hypothetically.
Doom 64 is basically an entirely different game. But I've looked at the specs of the n64 at times, and I figure a direct Doom port would've run pretty well too. The N64 is basically running a 64 bit 90 mhz processor, which is probably comparable to a pentium system. - the main CPU has a floating point unit. The graphics chip contains a DSP with some polygon rasterization logic, combined with a second CPU running at about 66 mhz (this secondary CPU has the exact same architecture as the first, but it's floating point unit is missing, and instead it has an integer vector math unit - think something akin to the pentium MMX extensions) Interestingly, the video output circuit is entirely distinct from either of these things, and has some functionality of it's own. Aside from being able to set a variety of screen modes, colour depths and resolutions, it also has part of the Anti-aliasing filter implementation (Which can technically be turned on and off), and an image scaling unit. (meaning you can for instance render a 128x96 image and stretch that to fill the whole screen). But, one of the most fascinating things about this is that it simply outputs an image based on whatever mode settings it has, by assuming the data starting from whatever you've set the framebuffer pointer to is the frame. (thus reading directly from main memory - the n64 has a unified memory architecture). Normally, the graphics chip would be drawing frames. But one of the implications of this arrangement is that anything that can write to memory can draw a frame that the video output system can display. That means you can use the full hardware 3d features, a software renderer running on the main CPU (as a PC would do it), or even a software renderer running on the secondary CPU, or if you want to go even further down the rabbit hole, a software renderer running on the main and secondary CPU's combined while ignoring the dedicated 3d functionality entirely... Doom 64 is obviously a full 3d game that probably has little code in common with normal versions of doom... But it's pretty obvious that this arrangement would make it easy to do a direct port of Doom running solely on the CPU... In fact, I'm fairly sure someone has done this, and it runs exceptionally well. (albeit with no sound whatsoever. Presumably because sound would require writing a lot more custom code to set up a suitable sound engine) For that matter, I expect the n64 is probably fast enough to run Quake as a direct software rendered port. Obviously this isn't optimal, since you're leaving a lot of the hardware idle, but it would almost certainly be possible... Console ports are a weird thing... Some hardware should be able to run such things easily and STILL the ports have things wrong with them (see... Modern console releases of Doom...)
Martin Howser MacMAME performed remarkably well on a 66 MHz machine, much better than the early Windows versions on faster Pentiums of the time, it was highly optimized and required roms in a special format, which was different from how MAME progressed afterwards. I had this camera at work and was aware of this port but never tried running it.
I read about this in a gaming magazine someone brought home for me from the US, and all I could think was "why?". It had intrigued me ever since! thanks for showing this!
It's been a real life meme ever since John Carmack first started hammering out and licensing ports, when he released the source code in 1997 it was a free for all for any aspiring programmer to try to port Doom to whatever they could get their hands on.
I never knew about that but my inner geek is joyous. I had a lot of weird tech stuff like this during the mid-late nineties. One being a WWF snashot cam I utilized as a webcam in the late 90s lol always a good time watching your vids. It makes me yearn for the times of 3.5 floppies, dial up, chat rooms and pc gaming. What a magical time.
There's already a colour ASCII art version of Doom: www.extremetech.com/gaming/273845-playing-doom-ascii-1337 Just rip out the appropriate two pins from your VGA cable: green screen version.
It's so nice to hear the LGR theme again, even in stunning crap-tastic mp3 on a 90s digital camera quality. I miss it being a part of regular episodes...
The only thing that was slowing "Doom" down was the "MS Windows" DOS Box. Even MS DOS 6.X didn't run it that well. I Want to see someone run it on their Tesla Console. While they are on auto pilot.
Your voice sounds just like Will Forte ( from the last man on earth and many other shows) and it goes perfectly with these kind of videos! Love it keep them up!
I love this so much! Haha! Clint you need to start a mini series called, “But will it run Doom” and just test out more weird devices that run Doom. Lol!
I'm taking pictures, "Why do I hear some gun noises?" that's the aperture adjustment. "How do you explain that kick-ass soundtrack?" That's just my camera saving the photos.
As a PowerPC fanatic, I have been waiting 20 years just to see one of these "in action", so to speak. So epic to see it here on LGR! You have made me very happy!
"...A real *_Point and Shoot_* camera..." lmfao This, this right here is _Prime _*_Oddware_* but now I wanna see a Kodak camera run Doom, lolz (especially since this runs Doom better than it runs MAME xD)
At first I was so surprised that it actually works, but now that I think about it, it can work as long as there's an OS running on it. Unfortunately I don't own one of these cameras to try it out myself, but it's going to be pretty cool. 'Point-and-shoot' camera alright!
Clint ive been watching your videos from the early days and have to say.. the production quality is getting to a really high level now. Respect. Thanks for all the great videos over the years man.
I'm new to your channel, but holy moly, I'm so happy TH-cam recommended you! I bake myself, but I find your content so relaxing and interesting. It's funny how this platform manages to connect certain people.

It's been a real life meme ever since John Carmack first started hammering out and licensing ports, when he released the source code in 1997 it was a free for all for any aspiring programmer to try to port Doom to whatever they could get their hands on.
- COME ON, SNAP THE PICTURE ALREADY !
- HOLD ON, GOT 3 BARONS OF HELL NECKS TO SNAP FIRST
- o_O'...
This as a proper handheld console would have been a crazy impressive in 1998.
Now, I want to play DOOM on washing machine.
If it has a cpu and a screen...
It already happened
I´m wondering how to run it on my Mobile Phone
@@berndjanipka3382 Very very easy, there are a multitude of ports (at least for Android)
I never knew about that but my inner geek is joyous. I had a lot of weird tech stuff like this during the mid-late nineties. One being a WWF snashot cam I utilized as a webcam in the late 90s lol always a good time watching your vids. It makes me yearn for the times of 3.5 floppies, dial up, chat rooms and pc gaming. What a magical time.
Skyrim: I'm available on many platforms including the Amazon Alexa!
Doom: Hold my beer.
Hold my chainsaw!
@damn Doom II indeed
Nintendo: The Nintendo Switch, play your games on your TV and then take them with you wherever you go.
Kodak: Hold my camera.
It's an overused meme but you've earned my thumbs up for today aha
There are many devices that do that before the switch.
I think we're ready for the green monitor, ASCII version of Doom.
There's already a colour ASCII art version of Doom: www.extremetech.com/gaming/273845-playing-doom-ascii-1337
Just rip out the appropriate two pins from your VGA cable: green screen version.
After Doom on the TI calculator, i guess this is only to be expected 😆
Just call me a cold calculated killer!
It's so nice to hear the LGR theme again, even in stunning crap-tastic mp3 on a 90s digital camera quality. I miss it being a part of regular episodes...
Me at work: Man I gotta get started on this
TH-cam Notification: DOOM ON A DIGITAL CAMERA
Point and shoot…. Ba-dum-tss! :D
I actually heard the sound in my mind while reading this lol
Pun intended :)
The only thing that was slowing "Doom" down was the "MS Windows" DOS Box. Even MS DOS 6.X didn't run it that well. I Want to see someone run it on their Tesla Console. While they are on auto pilot.
That's a whole recipe for DOOM
Saul Garcia - NEDM
Your voice sounds just like Will Forte ( from the last man on earth and many other shows) and it goes perfectly with these kind of videos! Love it keep them up!
I would have never in a Million years imagined I'd ever see Doom being played on a Camera.
Cool video🤟🤟
How about a calculator?
I love this so much! Haha! Clint you need to start a mini series called, “But will it run Doom” and just test out more weird devices that run Doom. Lol!
I'm taking pictures, "Why do I hear some gun noises?" that's the aperture adjustment. "How do you explain that kick-ass soundtrack?" That's just my camera saving the photos.
We will be able to play DOOM on DOOM itself one day
Doesn't doom 2016 have the entirety of doom playable somewhere in it?
There's a WAD for that.
@@Infernape7890 Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well: th-cam.com/video/wbnfYBFKD1g/w-d-xo.html
So we already breakthrough that part... The More You Know™
happened already
As a PowerPC fanatic, I have been waiting 20 years just to see one of these "in action", so to speak. So epic to see it here on LGR! You have made me very happy!
Just found your channel yesterday.Its THE BEST.Love the way you focus on games on all the outdated and failed systems.Great Job..Subbed.
This camera is everything that the Apple Pippin was not.
But can it play any Power Rangers Zeo games? I think not!
Otaking Mikohani or Doom?
@@prismstudios001 Well obviously this camera can play Doom
@@otaking3582 stronger than before
@@NIDELLANEUM Powered up for more
This is what Frank West from Dead Rising does when you pause your game!
"...A real *_Point and Shoot_* camera..." lmfao
This, this right here is _Prime _*_Oddware_* but now I wanna see a Kodak camera run Doom, lolz
(especially since this runs Doom better than it runs MAME xD)
At first I was so surprised that it actually works, but now that I think about it, it can work as long as there's an OS running on it. Unfortunately I don't own one of these cameras to try it out myself, but it's going to be pretty cool. 'Point-and-shoot' camera alright!
"Point-and-shoot camera."
That joke was coming and you just couldn't get out of the way, could you... :D
"Zoom & Doom" or vice versa camera model. Your welcome camera companies.
You're
You'remst've
RIP Kodak, You really fought hard, but gave a lot of people a lot of memories.
mackstertube It has a 3x digital DOOM......
@@prismstudios001 noice
this guy is playing doom on a camera and i can't even figure out how to play it on my MacBook pro. HELP!!
You use the touch bar
@@toasthead big oof
@@toasthead actually this works
try the gzdoom sourceport, dunno if they have it for mac
Bruno Novello yeah, they do. It even is available for Ubuntu
"java Can run on almost anything"
LAUGH IN DOOM
Doom of course runs in Java.
Doom of course can run in Java.

Doom of course runs in Java.
Java of course can't run on phones
Doom however... can
I honestly never get bored of your videos. Great job!
I really like the way the OS interface looks. Super 90s design
microwave: Has some form of CPU and 4 digit screen
LGR:
Skyrim: I can play on any platform
Doom: Hold my double barrel
i'd be happy if i could play pong on my slr from the 70s.
Isn't Pong 2 players?
@@handsomebrick it's SLR so I'll play my reflection
LGR I like your videos about old tech so much - they're so cozy
So a calculator, a camera. I’m willing to bet someone has ported Doom to a smart fridge.
Actually smart fridges have quite enough of processing power so I really believe it is completely doable! 😎
Many smart fridges run Android, so you can use both the native Android Doom builds or the various Java ports.
They are modern day tablets. Wouldn't be surprised if you could run Doom 3 on it. Bluetooth keyboard and bam!
can’t wait for this game to be ported to my decaying grandmother’s cardiac pacemaker
Doctor places his stethoscope and listens intently.
** chk, chk boom. uughhhoww. **
oof
@@pablostufff She isn't dying 😂
Next question:
What's the oldest camera we can get Crysis running on?
I bought that camera with money i was supposed to invest in Ebay with.
Ouch.
Clint ive been watching your videos from the early days and have to say.. the production quality is getting to a really high level now. Respect.
Thanks for all the great videos over the years man.
"Now that's what I call a point-and-shoot camera!"
Not even 10 seconds in and LGR's already cracking some good jokes. I love this channel.
This beats playing Tetris on Canon P&S's capable of Canon Hack Development Kit.
That pun within the first few seconds hurt in a good way.
Up next: Doom on a Glad Plug-in!
Lmao you have to change scent pods to load new WADs
@@KapnKrowe this made me snort pretty hard lol
You can't understand how much I appreciate you recording and editing your videos in 4K
"I was just in the process of taking a picture, when I saw the shotgun guy.. So, anyway I started blasting!"
I wonder if anyone out there has ever actually beaten Doom on this camera.
"point and shoot camera"
You sob, have your like just for that line lol.
They’re waiting for you, freeman; in the test chamberrr
Very cool LGR! Very very cool as always! So unique and awesome to be able to play Doom... ON A FREAKING CAMERA!! 😱😱😱😱
I have no idea how technology works but it never ceases to amaze me
imagine beating the 7second record on this thing
Is there a way I could make phone calls with this? I know it sounds crazy, but I feel like a camera - phone hybrid would do well.
Amazing!❤
Anyone else surprised at how well the camera runs doom and how well it sounds?
I'm new to your channel, but holy moly, I'm so happy TH-cam recommended you! I bake myself, but I find your content so relaxing and interesting. It's funny how this platform manages to connect certain people.
It's weird I have the bell icon set for your channel but I don't get notified of your videos anymore, love your content keep it up!
"Now that's what i call a 'point and shoot' camera"
Instant like
mom: im not buying you a handheld console, we have one at one
handheld at home:
It's basically the beginning of smart phone's that we have today.
I really love how LGR enjoys playing DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D (By 3D Realms), or other classic Id Tech shooters on weird or niche devices even if the performance isn't so preferable (but still playable).
Just when I thought I have seen it all! Thank you so much for this!
A digital camera that can play games and music?
Even my 2019 camera can't do that!
Mine does... It's called a smartphone ;)
Seriously though, there is a smartphone based on the Samsung Galaxy S4, which is probably the direct descendant of this camera!
@TechBaffle: It actually can. You just don't know how ;)
@@OMA2k I would love to play DOOM on my X1000E 😂
Doesn't matter what year your camera is, it can do that.
You just need to know how.
