Tobi, the developer behind this feat, converted a document viewer into a game console, but he was inspired by a previous project, the DOOM PDF.

This build flips the script on its head, putting a Need for Speed menu right in the driver’s seat, or rather, in a hidden location that only the most dedicated fans would be aware of.
Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers are not cheap, and they often cost enough to make you think twice before purchasing a replacement or upgrade. So what if you could have it both ways?
