Cardano eyes Nintendo emulator on Hydra after Doom success

Cardano eyes Nintendo emulator on Hydra after Doom success

Cardano (CRYPTO:ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson recently discussed plans to extend the capabilities of Hydra, the platform’s layer-2 solution, beyond typical blockchain applications. 

This follows a successful demonstration of the classic video game Doom running on Hydra, where in-game actions were logged as transactions through smart contract calls on Hydra’s layer-2 network. 

The developers are now working towards running a Nintendo emulator on Hydra. 

In his discussion, Hoskinson expressed excitement over the developments, saying, “Hydra is waking up… did you see Doom Hydra?” 

He added that after achieving a deathmatch for Doom, the next step would be to enable the emulator to play Nintendo and Super Nintendo games through Hydra. 

This gaming-focused initiative aims to enhance the functionality of Hydra by utilising its state-channel system, known as “Hydra Heads,” which allows parallel processing and increased efficiency. 

The system enables actions such as moving and shooting in a game to be registered through smart contracts, showcasing its potential in handling interactive tasks. 

Hoskinson also acknowledged the growing community of speed-runners, who specialise in completing video games as quickly as possible. 

He noted that this community has gained traction through platforms like YouTube and Twitch, stating, “That’s a massive community.” 

In parallel with gaming innovations, Cardano is focusing on interoperability. 

The platform recently partnered with BitcoinOS (BOS) to establish the Grail bridge, aiming to link Cardano’s decentralised finance (DeFi) sector with Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO:BTC) liquidity. 

At the time of reporting, the Cardano price was $0.3329.
