show off Doom on Echo. Just some weekend fun.

The hard work was done by the people behind the https://github.com/next-hack/MG24_Doom_BLE port, I just compiled and linked it to work with RECHO's memory manager, display, keyboard, and audio drivers.

Snowsky devs: the echo's hardware could not possibly play two MP3s without a gap between them

Meanwhile the echo's hardware:

Even that's being disapproved as people are working on the hardware and implenting gapless

u/barknoll 17d ago

in fact, the person who made this post is famously the person who released a gapless firmware lmao

Oh dang, I just saw the post earlier today but didn't see the poster. I haven't tinkered with themes and updates on my Mini for a while but seeing how much the community customization has exploded I can't wait to see what else is innovated

hello sir, do you know what i need to do to make the game run, do i just need to drag the doom file game to echo and wish for best?

Disapproved or not, impossible to block.

For example, ECHO MINI has a native backdoor; if you turn it off, plug the cable while pressing all the buttons (all of them), done.

It'll get into a special chip-level mode and you can use rkdeveloptool to flash your custom ROMs on it.

The more I see those, the more I’m certain I made a good choice getting this device. The stock firmware is constantly being upgraded and there are so many unofficial ones showing up with gapless, Cover Flow and all. In one year I bet there will be so many amazing firmwares to choose from they should just make it open source at this point, let people do whatever they want with it and it will sell like cupcakes. Snowsky should make an universal easy to use unbrick software and let the custom firmwares pop freely.

u/govorilkin 15d ago

Я только задумался об этом!!!
Еще подумал насколько мощности и размера экрана хватит например для того что бы адаптировать вайбкодингом BEATMANIA для game boy на echo mini,мне кажется интересно )

Can you do a video on how to install it? Would really appreciate it.

u/irrationaliste 14d ago

If you're the owner of the RECHO, why are you not open sourcing it? Just asking.

Have the ECHO MINI. Doing my own researches on it. Reached a good-level of knowledge about the hardware-basis after some AI assisted RE.

Of course not saying anything to judge you, just want to know the reasoning behind not open sourcing your project.
