doomBox: Classic keys meet tiny screen
posted Mar 1st 2010 2:00pm by Mike Szczysfiled under: classic hacks, digital cameras hacks

The doomBox is a dedicated gaming rig for lovers of ID Software’s classic title. [JJ] built this from an old Kodak DC290 camera that had a broken lens. Since this runs the Digita OS, he was able to use the Doom port that already exists. But the camera’s factory buttons were not well suited as controls. By whipping up his own button board, and using the traditional keyboard keys for the button caps, he achieved a much more comfortable (yet squint-inducing) gaming experience. The finished project resides in an all-too-familiar black project box. See him fire it up after the break.
The original Doom for Digita OS pages seem to be down so here’s an alternate if you’re interested.
Update: Looks like the original website is back up.
