Modders have done the ultimate Doom challenge: getting Doom running... inside of Doom!

"Yes, but can you run Doom on it?" is the eternal question of the modding community, who have endeavored to port iD Software's classic shooter to pretty much every device imaginable, from Raspberry PIs, to ATMs to mother-flipping printers. But now, one ambitious modder has topped them all, by porting Doom into an in-game Doom arcade machine. That's right, he has gotten Doom to run... inside of Doom.

Technically, the feat is accomplished with GZDoom, which is in of itself a heavily modified Doom source port that was first released in 2005. The mod in question is called "Classic Arcade", and brings with it semi-complete versions of both Doom and Doom-predecessor Wolfenstein 3D into the game. While the video shows that the only weapon available is the pistol, you still have to admire the insane amount of pointless effort involved in pulling something like this off.

At this stage, the only way anyone can top "The Zombie Killer" Doom-in-Doom mod is to actually somehow make another version of Doom playable from inside "Classic Arcade's" Doom arcade machine.

We need to go deeper!

So yeah.... That happened

Heres the video

Now to port it to a calculator, a FAX machine, and a cell phone.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/657123/7996310.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/657123/7996310.page GMT But Can it run Doom? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/657123/7996380.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/657123/7996380.page GMT But Can it run Doom?

To explore where we've never been? To look for other life? To colonize beyond our planet? It was certainly more than "because we could". I just don't see the point in the Doom thing...unless there's a timeframe and the most insane porting of Doom receives some kind of crazy prize. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/657123/7999455.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/657123/7999455.page GMT But Can it run Doom? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/657123/7999587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/657123/7999587.page GMT But Can it run Doom?

Because we can. Just in case you're a young'in, at the time, Doom was pretty much the first of it's kind - a widely popular FPS with a widely popular multiplayer deathmatch mode, the kind of thing we take for granted these days. So, trying to get Doom to run wherever, and on whatever, you could, kind of became a thing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/657123/7999731.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/657123/7999731.page GMT But Can it run Doom?

OK climbing Everest is perhaps not the same thing. ...unless its like the aforementioned running Doom on an abacus thing. We can get Tetris to run on anything these days, the next thing after that was Doom. Give it long enough and we'll have Crysis running on calculators too. Why? Because why the hell not? What else could we be doing with that time? Curing cancer?!

...How about curing cancer inside Doom!? Damn, that might actually be the excuse we need.

Just to be clear, man whose username is TimeToWaste is complaining about people wasting time porting Doom into electronic devices.

This is real and happening.

My user name is actually from this: first song off the album "Crimson". Honestly has nothing to do with my downtime.

However, I do get the irony of it all.

Difference is that I'm reasonably positive your mom isn't in the age audience intended for Bloodborne. My roommates and I ARE in the age range that could conceivably care.
