DOOM Running On A DVD Player From 2001 (Samsung NUON N-501)

Coders have shown that DOOM can run on pretty much anything with a screen, and that is no different for a DVD player - although in this case, the DVD player was made to play video games.
NUON-Enhanced DVD players never caught on, but before they were released, the creators of the NUON chip (VM Labs) created some tech demos to show what the hardware could do. The shareware version of DOOM was ported, not to show off any graphics prowess, but to showcase that PC games could be ported very quickly.
What you see here was done over a weekend, which for the late '90s was impressive. That said, it would be great to see someone port the game but actually optimize it for the NUON so that it doesn't run slightly better than MYST does. #doom #nuon #videogames

A friend of mine had a DVD player that let you play NES Contra. It ran at like 20fps, but we did almost beat it. Clearly, it was just some random brand DVD player that included a bootleg copy of Contra.

nuon was a cool idea, i wanted to believe in it but waaaay out of my price range out of the time. cool to see doom running on it, choppy but still impressive. Thanks for making this video!

i love how you just gave up on the second secret, that fps really does look unplayable. Did it have the screen size options?

This, the Pippin and the 3DO hardware sequel (M2?) need some homebrew love IMO. Maybe Tomb Raider on all three using openlara?

I mean, if it had a little bit more time put into this port, it'd indeed probably be WAY better

I love the NUON! :)

Here's your chance to learn coding and become known as the guy who did Doom on the Nuon justice.
