What to know
- A developer successfully ported the classic game Doom to a 2010 Canon EOS 550D camera using open-source Magic Lantern firmware, with full audio and button-mapped controls.
- The port only works on the specific camera model and firmware version 1.0.9; the developer warned against installation on other devices to prevent bricking.
- This is part of a broader community trend of running Doom on unconventional hardware, including appliances and industrial devices.
“This is a great way of relaxing after an entire day of shooting your subjects, although it's ideal that you keep your Doom game on an SD card that's separate from where you keep your photos.”
