This means that “Doom” is theoretically completely playable on Alarmo. Of all things, the sound doesn’t work, writes GaryOrNothing in a thread on PlatformThis is a bit strange, especially since sound reproduction is actually the main function of the Nintendo alarm clock.
GaryOrnichts has the source code of his project Published on GithubThis means that every owner of Alarmo can start playing the alarm clock if they have the appropriate Vaad package of “Doom”. “Doom” is available as a shareware version, among other things.
According to GaryOrNothing, you can fully load “Doom” onto the Alarmo via USB Loader without changing the Alarmo’s code. A stick inserted through the Alarmo’s USB-C port comes outfitted with the editing software. In theory, this approach could also be used to implement other Agile hacks with Alarmo. The hacker describes the process in more detail in a blog post,

A motion sensor records the movements of sleeping or awake users and plays it with appropriate sounds from “Super Mario Odyssey”, “Splatoon 3”, “Pikmin 4”, “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” and “Ring Fit”.

With Nintendo Alarm Clock you can not only wake up, but also fall asleep: “Snooze sounds” that play when you jump into bed are supposed to lull you to sleep. On the alarm clock display, sleep or wake sounds are accompanied by video game animations. You can also view sleep statistics there – like how much you move while you sleep.
