muhyb, do gaming w Nice PDF, But Can It Run DOOM? Yup!

So, soon we’ll see Bad Apple in PDF too. If it isn’t already out there.

NakariLexfortaine,

Apparently it’s 6,500 files.

Also not the only one.

muhyb,

Heh, that’s one way to do it I guess. It would be more impressive with this doompdf format though, especially with ASCII.

Why9, do games w You Can Now Jailbreak A PS4 With An LG TV

Unfortunately LGTV’s can’t be jailbroken unless you were lucky enough to jailbreak it back before they patched it.

I got mine last year and had no idea the security on it was so tight. I’m just hoping smarter minds than mine can figure out new exploits for the LGTV now that there’s demand with the ability to jailbreak PS4s

cordlesslamp,

If Nintendo and iPhone can be jailbreak, then everything else can be too.

Why9,

I’m holding out hope!

I’m going to disable all automatic updates in the event that it happens!

redcalcium,

The people with appropriate skills must have the tv (it’s not cheap) and actually interested in jailbreaking them. So far noone has done so.

catloaf, do games w You Can Now Play DOOM In Microsoft Word, But You Probably Shouldn’t

Does it count if it’s just using Word as a loader and display for the Doom DLL?

yggstyle,

Look. If most “productivity trackers” are only tracking active window and mouse clicks / cpm … it more than counts - it should be granted extra points.

Fuck me look at how how hard Johnson is working. Been typing like a madman all day.

A shame that all the really early 3D games use their own software rendering engines, and aren’t so amenable to being “cranked up” like later games when accelerators became common.

Get some of the early freescape games like Total Eclipse or Castle Master, early cyberpunk games like Interphase, or even Frontier: Elite II running in big resolutions with silky framerates and insane draw distances, I’d be so pleased.

I’d love to play Elite II, though I’m glad that the contemporary franchise is so flipping good. It’s up there in my top games of all time.

I would expect hackaday to go into more detail. Ironic.

It looks like all they did was uncap the render distance, to let the game render the high detail level at ranges that would have crippled the original hardware. They didn’t actually hack higher quality resources into the game. Same resources, just all on screen at once.

v4ld1z, do games w You Can Now Jailbreak A PS4 With An LG TV

On the off-chance that anyone here tried the jailbreak method using your TV:

I was able to root my TV using rootmy.tv really easily and am now trying to connect my PC to the TV using SSH or telnet in order to run a couple commands and send the needed files to trigger the jailbreak. However, I can’t for the life of me connect using SSH or telnet - I get a “connection timeout” error everytime, making it impossible to log into root. The IP address and the port I enter are both correct (22 or 23 for the port depending on if SSH or telnet is chosen).

I tried a couple methods to install OpenSSH since in my research it looked like this might be an issue which also didn’t work, tried disabling my firewall, adding the program to the exception list in my firewall etc. - nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?

FMEEE,

Maybe your ip is coursed you could try using a port forward on your router and then install cloudflared if possible. Might be worth a try. Worked for me in a different situation.

v4ld1z,

I’ll look into it and let you know how it goes. Thank you :)

Zarxrax, do games w Porting Dragon’s Lair To The Game Boy Color Was A Technical Triumph

It looks like the rom size is around 4 Megabytes, so that is really quite impressive.

It reminds me of Dragons Lair 3 which I believe came on 6 floppies.

Tronn4,

Don’t copy that floppy!

Does this open the door to an exploit over HDMI?

Enjoyed this one - impressive work, it really looks like a professional cabinet

I think they looked better before they got sent off and painted, really just needed some weathering.

rubii, do gaming w Qwantify: Self-Hosted and Open Source Project for Gaming Online with Friends
@rubii@lm.inu.is avatar

Interesting, I guess this is like a self hosted “geforce now” for your friends and yourself? Wish there was some more documentation, seems the documentation is locked behind an early access page (from the link on the github page).

This appears closer to something like steam’s remote play together, where you can connect to local multiplayer games with streaming. You could use it as a sort of GeForce Now service, but it wouldn’t be the best way to do it.

Malix, do gaming w Nice PDF, But Can It Run DOOM? Yup!
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

As cool as this is, to me this just screams security issues. If scripting in PDF can run doom, it can be (and is) used for nefarious purposes. Wasn’t eg. LTT’s channel compromized because of a PDF with some nasty stuff in it?

Anivia,

Just because you can render a game using scripting doesn’t mean your script can escape the PDF reader.

You can build a fully working Turing machine inside PowerPoint, but without an exploit you are still not going to run code outside the PowerPoint environment

Midnitte, do gaming w Nice PDF, But Can It Run DOOM? Yup!

There’s also tetris. Wonder how they achieve randomness…

Oh wow. I played the hell out of this game as a kid. Knew it from the thumbnail immediately.

Why root a tv?

v4ld1z,

You have access to specific homebrew apps that add features and allow for shenanigans like running an exploit off the TV itself instead of needing a PC like in this case
