EmuVR Updated Tour and SETUP WALKTHROUGH!

[@Gathies]

The fact that nobody has made a proper video game version of emuvr with an entire house with a lot of customization and put it on steam for 20 bucks with workshop support, really speaks to why vr is not succeeding more.

[@imaginator85]

Could not be a truer statement than this.

[@LD-mu4eg]

i think there would be possible legal restraints as far as releasing an emulator for profit

[@MrSkerpentine]

Pretty sure the developer of this is just one guy tbf Also an early access version with custom content support launched a few months back so there’s that

[@SuperballsSupervidsOnYT]

Nintendo's actions against the Dolphin Emulator set that back a long way

[@OnSightDroski]

On the contrary… vr is blowing up more than ever and of course legal issues would arise trying to create something similar to emuvr

[@DontPaniku]

This is our future guys. Were going to be living in some coffin sized hole with VR jacked straight into our cerebral cortex and we'll while away the time decorating our virtual houses.

I got it all set up a few hours ago…….it took a while to get to grips with the controls (because I was playing with an Xbox controller) but when I finally figured it out I was so satisfied and I ended up really enjoying playing a few games on it. It’s definitely something I’d get lost in for hours!

[@pogney973]

Finally i got into EmuVR, so cool when it works! But having some Problems: I like to play Amiga games, but it does not load the game every time, it helps to hit reset on the console (i think) and try a few times. Also, the Quest2 controllers i have are really not soooo good... I have a usb Competiton Pro, but not really getting it to work in EmuVR, also not really working great if i try the Retroarch alone. But can set some controls there Also, the Amiga games seem to work more often in Desktop Mode. After that would be fixed i also need to see how i can swap disks, but i am not at that point yet. I Also have a PS4 Controller, that sometimes works, but looses focus and opens a virtual keyboard of i press the wrong button, really needs some getting used to and setup right.

[@imaginator85]

Whoa those are a lot of kinks. Way over my head! Haha. Good luck though!

[@pogney973]

@@imaginator85 Thanks for replyig though, was worth a shot. It would be neat if you could change controls while in EmuVR, see the controller for system, touch button there and press were you want to map it. But it is still very impressive for a 1 guy project! I was always curious but taken back by the Discord an all (even when you could get invited, had some bad expirience with discord in the past, kinda traumatized). I also noticed a bit of input lag, makes playing Turrican 2 even harder, but cannot be avoided i guess becaue of streaming to headset. But else it is like having a real retro system, pretty crazy when you go all the way to the screen and see the RGB stripes. You really forget that you are in VR, you are back in the game like back in the good old days. Also, i think Amiga is the plattform still having the most problems with Retro Arch and all. Had a lot of fun with those that worked. I would pay for a version running on Quest (in theory it could be possible, but i know not easy caues of copyright etc.) that is just as much more snappy as VR Games are on Quest compared to Quest Link. Also have bit more appetite for a Retro Handheld console running Retroarch, now that i dipped my toes in it.

[@pogney973]

I got my issues fixed, yay! For the Multi Disk Amiga games the Trick is to go the whdload route, also seems to work better while running the SteamVR mode. And then i got myself a cheap Xbox360 controller, that solves the controller issue. Now i can start to spend way too much time decorating, getting games and labels etc.

WHERE DO I CONFIGURE CONTROLS IN EMUVR? My PS5 controller are using XBOX layout making it completley useless due to X (Cross Button on PS5) Button is B Button (Xbox Button on Xbox controller) and no matter how I change it just refuse to change in EMUVR because it forces its own shitty control layout....

[@SnazzPatrol]

Launch the retroarch program by itself and configure the controls there. EMUVR is just a virtual environment that is running the retroarch emulator in the background which is why you have to download it separately.

Haha thats hilarious! I use the Quest 2 and on there you just hold the A or B button down for a second (I forget which one). You'll know it's locked because the outline changes color.
