The legendary DOOM was launched on a smart multicooker and gameplay was shown

Experiments with running DOOM on the most unexpected devices continue, and this time, the cult shooter has conquered kitchen appliances. Enthusiast and security researcher Aaron Christophel demonstrated a working version of the game on a Cook4Me smart multicooker, accompanying the experiment with a gameplay recording.

As it turns out, the device's hardware is sufficient to run the classic shooter. The multicooker is powered by a Renesas R7S721031VZ processor with 32-bit ARM architecture, complemented by 128 MB of RAM and the same amount of flash storage. Furthermore, STM32, ESP32, and PIC microcontrollers are integrated, providing the necessary flexibility for system modification.

To run the game, Christophel completely re-flashed the device, adapting it to run DOOM. This unusual version of the shooter was controlled directly via the multicooker's touchscreen, which effectively replaced the traditional controller. Despite the exotic platform, the game proved to be quite playable.

The experiment's author noted that he has no plans to make the firmware publicly available, citing the rarity of the particular device model.
