I Hacked a $10 Calculator to Run Doom Eternal

[@TakiUdon]

*Subscribe for more meme videos like this.* -The stuttering that I found in NES (and a few other places) was caused by some Wi-Fi errors. I disabled Wi-Fi and the emulation is smooth af now. -For people that are wondering, I've only ever seen this for sale in China and I have no idea how you can buy one outside of China.

The keys are wired to a serial port internally, so you need to make a driver yourself to make it work as a HID device. You can check its output at /dev/tty or similar path.

Looks like there are solder pads open for another chip. Imagine if you had that chip and the paste and necessary passives to hot air rework it on the board.

Boss: "Ok, so we're thinking of making a budget calculator. How much RAM should it have?" Engineer: "Yes."

[@Saba_and_bobik]

teacher: you can use a calculator me: *whispers* psst look at my gaming calucator 💀

[@elcamino06]

Lol, this calculator can emulate more systems than the RG350 😅

[@williamrosenberg8061]

well it has way better specs

[@godchi1dvonsteuben770]

No you didn't. Those calculators are more than $10... and super hard to find in the U.S...

[@badboybenj]

The prices when up since then and he bought it from someone for 10 dollars

[@Frogmood]

ive never felt older than i do right now seeing a calculator with a touch screen for the first time in my life

[@GraveUypo]

imagine something like this back in the 90's. it's insane how spoiled we are today that we can emulate dreamcast (albeit poorly) on a $10 calculator.

[@itiswhatitis141]

having mario 64 on the go would have looked like witchcraft in the 90s

[@anonymous-rm3ut]

The ds existed...

[@itiswhatitis141]

@@anonymous-rm3ut in 2004 yes...iam talking like..playing a mario 64 emulation on a school bus in 95

[@VTuber_Central]

Let's not forget 80s babies from avgn, playing old school stuff and even newer gaming console on a calculator?? Hell taki has played miiu and that emulates 80s/90s consoles plus has a ips screen and it requited taki to review it otherwise racist people will just say its cheap crap made by Chinese when its pretty fun

[@jawadakram3936]

brother i am a 2000’s kid and even then this would be unheard of. A 10$ calculator that can run ds games.

[@MaksymTkachenko-u5k]

What was that? I suppose I was still sleeping and dreaming all of this. But in case if I don't... Does it mean we can have a nice powerful enough console FOR 10 BUCKS?

The original Rollercoaster Tycoon games were written using the same code as a Texas Instrument calculator. My first thought was he was going to run Doom on a calculator using the code.

[@KouD3Graw]

This video is going to make the price go up because other youtubers are going to try to make the same videos after this. You just opened an android calculator floodgate.

[@ghoulchan7525]

Yup. And i hope that it serves a point to people don't over complicated simple devices

[@edgarmartinez1712]

aint no way in hell a touch screen calculator cost $10 tf

[@Roaming_Hobo]

"If it's good enough for the Switch, it's good enough for my $10 calculator." LOL

[@parthmittal349]

All hail the calculator
