User Managed to Play DOOM on Budget Clamp Meters
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
User Artur Bieniek acquired FNIRSI DMC-100 clamp meter-multimeter to continue the good old tradition of gamers, namely, to run the game DOOM on a device not intended for it.
Folk craftsmen continue to port the classic shooter DOOM to all sorts of devices. The game has already been launched on a pregnancy test, a lawnmower, a smart electric toothbrush on a LEGO brick, and more.
Now, thanks to the genius of user Artur Bieniek, the game runs on the FNIRSI DMC-100 — a budget-segment digital clamp meter-multimeter that costs about $30–50 (2448–4080 rubles).
The multimeter measures current in an electrical circuit. It is not designed to summon armies of hell, but thanks to Artur's work, it seems perfectly suited for the task. This person managed to run the doomgeneric engine on an Artery AT32F415 chip, which is the 'brain' of this device.
Now the clamp meter plays the first episode of Freedoom: Phase 1 with original levels from E1M1 to E1M9 available for completion. There are four save slots, and everything works: from the title screen and cutscenes between levels to the final scene. All of this is in color, and, most incredibly, Artur controls the multimeter using a DJI drone controller.
Freedoom: Phase 1 is a free, open-source project that replaces all graphical and sound assets of the original shooter The Ultimate DOOM.
Gamers wishing to personally play DOOM on the FNIRSI DMC-100 should check out Artur's guide on GitHub. The DOOM firmware replaces the factory FNIRSI software and may void the device's warranty.
Therefore, such things should be done at your own risk. Plus, Artur says that while DOOM is installed, the device measures nothing. The original firmware can be restored.
