Re: Installing Doom in SmartConsole

HeikoAnkenbrand · ‎2023-02-19

Hello everyone,

I was inspired by the following article sk164752 Installing DOOM on Gaia and I was considering whether this would also work in the SmartConsole. Since the SmartConsole is web based and uses Javascript, I was hopeful!

For copyright reasons, I do not want to provide a ready SmartConsole Extension here.

To run the game and other DOS games, you can use the javascript DOS box from:
https://js-dos.com

However, you can easily install the game and other games by following the steps below.

doom_video_1_453646.mp4

Video Player is loading.

Current Time 0:00

Duration 0:00

Loaded: 0%

Stream Type LIVE

Remaining Time 0:00

(view in My Videos)

Please note this procedure is not supported and not secure.
Under no circumstances should this be done in a production environment.

This is a proof of concept and for fun:

1) Upload the following files to your web server.
     -> https://js-dos.com/cdn/DOOM.png
     -> https://js-dos.com/cdn/js-dos-api.js
     -> https://js-dos.com/cdn/js-dos-v3.js

2) Find the following place in the file „js-dos-api.js“ and remove the crossed out area.
     …
          return new Dosbox.Xhr('~~https://js-dos.com/cdn/~~js-dos-v3.js', {
     …

3) Search on Google for the following file and copy it to your web server.
-> DOOM-@evilution.zip

4) Create the following manifest file on the web server.
-> doom.json

{
  "extension": {
	  "name": "Doom",
	  "version": "1.0",
	  "description": "---",
	  "author": "---",
	  "email": "---",
	  "product-url": "---e",
	  "provider": "---",
	  "license": "GPL",
	  "extension-version-requirements": {
		  "minimum-version": "1.2"
    }
  },
  "locations": [
    {
		"location": "details-pane",
		"relevant-types": ["gateways"],
		"ui-element": {
			"type": "tab",
			"caption": "Doom",
			"tooltip": "Doom Tip.",
			"action": {
				"details-level": "full",
				"method": "get",
				"trigger-id": "gateways-details-pane",
				"url": "doom.htm"
		}
	  }
    }

  ],
	"requested-permissions": {
		"client": ["get-read-only-session", "run-read-only-commands"]
  }
}

5) Create the following html file on the web server
-> doom.htm

<!doctype html>
  <html lang="en-us">
    <head>
      <meta charset="utf-8">
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
     <title>DOOM</title>
      <style type="text/css">
        .dosbox-container { width: 640px; height: 400px; }
        .dosbox-container > .dosbox-overlay { background: url(DOOM.png); }
     </style>
   </head>
   <body>
     <div id="dosbox"></div>
      
     <script type="text/javascript" src="js-dos-api.js"></script>
     <script type="text/javascript">
       var dosbox = new Dosbox({
         id: "dosbox",
         onload: function (dosbox) {
           dosbox.run("DOOM-@evilution.zip", "./DOOM/DOOM.EXE");
         },
         onrun: function (dosbox, app) {
           console.log("App '" + app + "' is runned");
         }
       });
     </script>
   </body>
 </html>

Now you can install the manifest file "doom.json" over the SmartConsole.

Have fun playing Doom.

Even if you can, it does not mean you should 🙂
