Doom on kobo hehe

I ported doom to kobo for fun. Works horrible but that's not the point.

I think it is playable. I wonder what would hapoen if all the images were preconverted to cartoons.

Actually, you know what? Make a nice MAME interface, and you might help Kobo sell a couple of units.

By the way, I like how there are no ghosting on the keypad - I need you to make one for our Alpine chroot!

Barely playable, cartoons? I dont understand?

You ask for a lot of things I'm barely interested in doing :/

Don't worry, I'm not asking for anything - just musing about the tech!
Have fun doing what you're interested in.

Has anyone ported the Zork Zmachine to the kobo? It's text only. Years ago I bought a cd from Activision that has all of the Infocom games.

Yes, it's an official InkBox user app

Looks like it's also in Alpine if you want to mess around with chroots.
