Researcher gets Doom running on $8,000 Hasselblad camera

Radium Wang has ported the classic 1993 shooter Doom to the Hasselblad X2D, an $8,000 medium-format camera, by experimenting with the device's firmware. Findings from the project have been shared on GitHub. Commenters are amused by the unlikely hardware choice and are also warning that tampering with expensive camera firmware risks permanently bricking the device.

Why now: The long-running tradition of porting Doom to improbable devices continues, and this time the target is an ultra-expensive luxury camera.
