If you like the hacker universe, I'm not talking about the rednecks who dedicate themselves to annoying the staff by taking advantage of security flaws, but about the real hackers; those people who enjoy making the most of the potential of any device.
One of the piques in the world is to get the famous Doom game to work on any peripheral. And you will say, it is very good but this is an Android blog. Ok, but if I tell you what they have done run Doom and Windows 95 on a Samsung Gear Live, the thing changes.
Doom can be played on any Android Wear device
The author of this curious feat has been Corbin Davenport, a 16-year-old programmer who has managed to emulate Doom and Microsoft's popular Windows 95 system on a Samsung Gear Live, albeit with some limitations.
As you can see in the video, Windows 95 loads smoothly in the Samsung Gear Live, although when executing any application an error occurs. The problem comes from the fact that it is an OS emulation, so you cannot control the use of RAM memory and hence you cannot open any of the Windows 95 applications.
The theme of Doom is different since, from what we see in the video, the boy a game is pasted without any problem. Unfortunately they have removed the Doom APK to play on Android Wear, although, if you want to try installing Windows 95 on your wearable, Corbin Davenport's website explains, in English, however, how to get the operating system installed.
Two really interesting videos that demonstrate two things: on the one hand, the merit of Corvin Davenport, in addition to the potential that this boy has, we must remember that he is only 16 years old. And on the other hand the fact that you can emulate Windows 95 on a smartwatch, which does not have features to shoot rockets, shows us the possibilities offered by the technological revolution that we are experiencing. Right now it is not easy to follow the steps to emulate Windows 95 on a wearable, but I am sure that in the not too distant future we will be able to play any Windows game without using streaming services or complicating ourselves looking for ways to emulate this operating system.
