07 Oct 2026, 11:00 PM	Tom's Hardware	3.0	Researcher ports Doom to $8,000 Hasselblad X2D A researcher has ported Doom to the Hasselblad X2D, a 100-megapixel medium-format camera priced around $8,000, using the camera's touchscreen for directional control and its shutter button to fire the weapon. The Tom's Hardware item is a headline and subscription boilerplate only — the extracted text contains no details on how the port was built, what language or toolchain was used, whether the camera was rooted or whether a repo exists. Beyond the price, the sensor resolution, and the two mapped inputs, nothing in the source supports further claims. Why: There is no decision here for a working builder: nothing to upgrade, patch, or adopt, and no Malaysian or SEA angle — this is a novelty hardware-hacking demo. The one transferable signal is that a modern medium-format camera's touchscreen and shutter are addressable enough to drive a game loop, which is mildly interesting if you do embedded or device-firmware work, but the excerpt gives no technical detail to act on.
