Doom Kinda Running On A Pregnancy Test

@Foone says, 'I'm still playing with the OLED (organic EL display) in the Equate interchangeable pregnancy test kit. I don't think there's enough bandwidth to update what's on the display in real time. I was worried, but I found that the 128 x 32 pixel display does not consume much bandwidth,' he posted and succeeded in streaming the image in monochrome on the display of the pregnancy test kit.
I'm still playing with my replacement OLED display for the Equate pregnancy tester.

Was Worried I I Would Not Have Enough Bandwidth To Do Real Time Updates, But It Turns Out That 128X32 At 1Bpp Does Not Take Much Bandwidth At All. Pic.Twitter.Com/zOzl4eHyHm
'Because everyone says so...', @Foone is also playing the PV of ' Bad Apple!! ' on the display of the pregnancy test kit.
people suggested it should show Bad Apple.

'I still can't run DOOM. This is a fairly tricky way to connect to a modern desktop computer, but I can't play it, but I can't play DOOM footage.' It was impossible to play the game, even with the latest PC, because there was a limit to playing the image on the display.
and it can't yet run doom.That's going to be way tricky, even cheating and having a modern desktop computer connected to it... but I CAN play back a doom video on it, which is kinda close?

The reaction to the method of hacking the display of the pregnancy test kit seemed to be terrible, and @Foone revealed on Twitter how to play the PV of DOOM and Bad Apple!!.
According to him, the CPU and display of the pregnancy test kit are completely replaced by another, ``It is impossible to reprogram the CPU of the pregnancy test kit, and the original LCD display only shows 4 things. I couldn't do that, so I had to replace them all, and at this point, I can't even fit the CPU into the housing of the pregnancy test kit!'
The existing CPU can't be reprogrammed and the existing LCD can only show 4 things, so I had to replace both to make any changes.

And the current version doesn't even fit into the shell!

The following movies are four things that can be displayed on the liquid crystal display originally attached to the pregnancy test kit that 'only four things can be displayed'. Only four icons can be displayed: 'hourglass icon', 'book icon', 'Not' and 'Pregnant'.
and why does it do that? so it can detect the lines on the paper!

In other words, the whole point of the digital part, the battery, IC, LEDs, and photodiodes... is to read the lines and tell you 'PREGNANT' and 'NOT PREGNANT' instead of '||' or '|+ ' pic.twitter.com/uTlKUTkiCY
