Could you build this?
No Porting Doom to run on camera hardware like the Sony A6000 requires embedded systems hacking, reverse engineering proprietary firmware, and writing low-level display and input drivers.
What it would actually take: The project requires cross-compiling an embedded C Doom source port (like prboom or chocolate-doom) to the camera's ARM architecture, exploiting the camera's subsystem (e.g., OpenMemories-Framework/PMCA Android subsystem or bare metal), and interfacing directly with proprietary framebuffer and button inputs. This requires specialized expertise in embedded reverse engineering, firmware disassembly, hardware debugging, and Linux/Android kernel-level drivers that AI conversational coding cannot supply.
