Running DOOM In A Keycap Takes Careful Work

Shoehorning DOOM into different hardware is a classic hacker’s exercise, and [TheKeebProject] managed to squeeze the 1993 classic into a custom keycap with the help of a Raspberry Pi RP2040, …
Crazy how people are still finding new things to cram doom into. I remember when that was a popular thing to do twenty years ago haha
But I'll admit, stuffing it into a keycap is pretty damn impressive, albeit useless haha
It wasn't running on the pregnancy test then, and it's not running on a keycap now. Both this and the pregnancy test are someone putting their own hardware into a random enclosure and saying "I'm running Doom on X!"
No, you're not really. Would you say that I'm running Doom on a banana if I put the same hardware inside a banana peel? No, because it's just a case for something else.
If he was running it on the keyboard's existing processor and it had a screen in the key, like Doom on a Mac touchbar, then I would agree.
He was streaming doom to the pregnancy test. it's a pretty cool hack, even if he's not "running" it on the pregnancy test.
"you can even plug in a keyboard"...
To play Doom...
That's running in a key on your keyboard...
Not sure why he didn't take the extra step of tying in the power and keys from the USB keyboard the keycap is living on. I feel like that shouldn't be too hard
everyone: Idont think there is any other way left to play Doom.
Dev: Hold my beer
next: Skyrim playing in a Keycap
What exactly is the obsession of putting DOOM of all games into any hardware over other games?
It's a fine enough game, but definitely not the game of choice I would choose if I were to choose an old game to be put in random hardware.
