TheRasteri hacked the Pioneer XDJ-RX2 controller and ran the Doom game on it

A YouTube guy named Andy, user named TheRasteri has a solution - he hacked Pioneer DJ XDJ-R2 to run the classic video game DOOM.

In the video, the user can be seen plugging a USB stick into the R2, as well as a keyboard into the second USB port and loading the game onto the touchscreen.

He discovered earlier this year that Pioneer DJ’s onboard computers not only run Linux and could potentially boot custom firmwares from USB sources.

Instructions to get this to work : (do not attempt this unless you’re good at soldering/linux/etc)
1. Cross-compile fbDOOM for ARM – https://github.com/maximevince/fbDOOM
2. Put it on a USB stick alongside DOOM.WAD from the shareware release (or full version if you like)
3. Connect a 3.3v UART to port CN1002 on the main PCB (1=3.3v, 2=TXD, 3=RXD, 4=GND)
4. Get Root ( https://twitter.com/G33KatWork/status… )
5. kill rbp
6. run fbDOOM from the usb stick (it gets mounted in /media/usbx/sda1)

If you want to give it a go yourself, he also posted instructions in the video description of how to load your very own DOOM game on your XDJ-R2, in case you’ve got some time on your hands.
