Don't get me wrong, but there's nothing cool in grabbing a device, a cable, specific sync software, and uploading a game that had already been ported, and showing the gameplay.
Following the same logic, in 10 years from now you will be impressing everyone by uploading ancient Angry Birds on ancient iPhoneX via special old version of iTunes still available on Apple site.
Now a bit of constructive stuff: would be cool if you started to explain:
- how the games are ported from PCs,
- how the game format is changed to use the very limited resources of cameras and calculators to render the same game scene with worse graphics
- how people come up with such crazy ideas
- whether microwave- and washing- machines can also be used for that

It might of being $999. 99 back in 1998 that I paid for mine model in which it was the DCS 290 for $25. 00, and surprisingly it still works as it I use it on my MAC iMac, and my laptop that has Windows10. Not bad for a 22 year old camera, and the good part it takes AA batteries. Thank You Kodak. As I remember in working a the camera store in San Francisco that we SOLD a lot of these models, Gee I wonder if they became Land Fill? But my model is in 100% like new, and also sharp. Again Thank You Kodak.

Can you possibly find a handheld scanner that runs this? The symbol and motorola scanners at a certain popular online business I work at use them and they run windows7 compact and I know have the specs to run it. I just dont know how you would actually use the sd card drive to install and run the game because they have all sorts of proprietary software locking up much of the interface.

My first digital camera - shame about the amount of work they put into the OS - all I ever did was point, shoot, and upload via USB. Still used it into the early 2000s as a tethered 'ebay' camera. It does however explain the appalling battery life! Those button-press SFX just came back to me though

I actually found my dc260 while looking for something in the garage. After tossing the ancient batteries, cleaning the contacts, and putting fresh batteries in the thing groaned to life. Now I need to play doom on it

I'm wondering why this can play Doom so well, but can't play some of the older games (like Pacman) not as fast. I mean I would assume that Pacman and the Frog game were less intensive (on the processor) than Doom,

Omg I remember hearing about this, I was 11. The price was so insane, I figured this was just a myth. I can't believe it runs THAT well, that's insane. I think my computer at the time ran it worse

I thought you would have to rewrite the firmware, I never guessed they made a camera like this in 1998 when most cameras can't do anything like this today unless you build a raspberry pi one.

gaming companies: -porting games can be a very expensive and time consuming process-
modders: --I bet you 20 bucks I can get a game to run on that toaster in one week--
