@luckoftheeye @SadlyItsBradley As long as they dont use any meta proprietary OpenXR API calls yes, DRM can and has been removed in the past. (Some games might even work with meta proprietary code but might not function 100%, others might crash)

@SadlyItsBradley would the same apply in reverse? side loading meta quest apks onto the frame?

I’ve been told about something interesting.. Since Steam allows Andoird .APK downloads now, in preparation for Steam Frame.. Users have figured out they can use applications like GameNative to run their Steam-bought standalone VR games directly on a Meta Quest (as an example)

I tried playing the Steam version of Suwako-Chan Cubic on my Android handheld using GameNative and it worked without needing any config changes! The future for ARM based devices is very promising

Got a little side tracked and made Symphogear XDU playable again. The old offline version needed a time limited download which got stored in a root only folder, had backups disabled and doesnt work on modern Android. This release fixes that. archive.org/details/sympho… #symphogear

@Ethan_Pyro @AlbaMemoriam @Arctiq_ @SadlyItsBradley Ayn Thor supports steam via rocknix youtube.com/watch?v=9XPRBz…

@AlbaMemoriam @Arctiq_ @SadlyItsBradley Need AYN Thor SteamOS (or equivalent distro)

FEX and the ARM version of the Steam Linux Runtime now come default with the Steam Client There are hacky ways to download and run the LinuxARM version of Steam today, but we are extremely close to everything being a “one-click experience” with these updates

@AlbaMemoriam @Arctiq_ @SadlyItsBradley Not all syscalls are supported on android like SYSV IPC, breaking X11 and Xorg functionality. Also a bunch of other issues with file system layout mismatches Running Steam via Linux distros like Rocknix (built around controllers) should give way better performance

@Arctiq_ @SadlyItsBradley You can already do that with Gamehub, but you'll be able to have a "native" SteamOS experience on ARM devices (replacing android with SteamOS on phones)

@TimTrashGoblin @SadlyItsBradley You already can install steam with big picture mode on Retroid handhelds with Rocknix its actually rather easy to install. The entire distro is build around navigating with a controller. rocknix.org/systems/steam/

@SadlyItsBradley so hyped for android arm handhelds to become steamos arm handhelds

@SadlyItsBradley Has anyone managed to install it on one of those android handhelds like the Retroid Pocket? That would get me to finally buy one.

And people are already doing WILD things with all the new Steam LinuxARM stuff 🫪 bsky.app/profile/aagami…

@rodonjohn 実際にオフライン版作る必要はありません コンパイル済みのサーバーバイナリファイルの公開は法律の全条件満たすから

オフラインでも遊べるようにしろという話は理解できるし、業界人は無理な理由を主張するのでは無く「俺もできればやりたい……やりたい……！」と共感だけしとけばいいんですよ。 よっぽど体力のある企業以外はどうせ無理なので

@SadlyItsBradley Never forget, Meta tried buying Unity to block other VR headsets from having native VR support, their anti competitive business practices are a large part of what killed VR.

A lot of replies to look through It isn’t just blind hate from a lot of people who never tried it Many users tried it who: got motion sick from VR gaming, enjoy the comfort of mouse and keyboard, unhappy with standalone graphics focus It will take much time to heal perception

@SadlyItsBradley Original Kickstarter backer and VR modder here. I never liked the direction VR went down even since Facebook got involved and bought up all patents and studios in existence just to do nothing with them. I hope now VR can finally go back to how it was in the open good old days.

@rodonjohn 興味ある方は是非Steamウィッシュリストに追加してください！ store.steampowered.com/app/4458610/Su…

coming soon... (まだ作りかけなので大幅に仕様変更あり)

After creating the VR mod for Suwako-chan Cubic the original developer reached out to me and we started working on a (free) official Steam port of the game with VR support! The store page is already live, please check it out and add it to your wish list! store.steampowered.com/app/4458610/Su…

@PalmerLuckey I am porting the DK1 classic Suwako-chan Cubic to Steam. You liked the demo back in the day and I wanted to ask if it would be alright to quote you on the store page? "I love it. Bullet hell game mechanics in three dimensions is awesome." reddit.com/r/oculus/comme…

@rodonjohn 返事ありがとうございます！ DMを送りしましたので、ご確認ください。

@MaruluExploit 遅くなってしまい申し訳ありません、Xの仕様なのかリプライが見えておりませんでした。 GitHubを拝見させていただきました。ゲーム本体の配布は自由に行なっていただいて大丈夫です。 ご連絡ありがとうございます。

@rodonjohn 私はOculus DK2の『すわこちゃんcubic』を現代のVRヘッドセットで遊べるように改造しました DMで話せるように、フォローをお願いできますか？

Marulu & Streetcat have brought back a beloved bullethell DK2 classic Suwako-Chan Cubic to modern headsets and better than ever with full 6DOF support. P.S. If you're a Resident Evil fan, look out for another super exciting announcement later today 👀

@Odzuuro @Flat2VR I am trying to contact the orignal dev for permission it isnt released yet.

@Flat2VR Anyone know how i could play it? Tried googling but japanese internet is confusing 😅

Marulu has been working to bring a classic Oculus DK2 Touhou game Suwako-Chan Cubic to modern headsets with full 6DOF

@JShodanVR @Flat2VR There is a tool called LibOVRWrapper that ports SDK 0.6 and higher games to the Oculus PC API (deprecated for OpenXR) which can be chained into Revive to make them work in Steam VR. Sadly this leaves even older games like Suwako-Chan (SDK 4 beta) unplayable on modern headsets.

@Flat2VR will we have a tool to bring back all those experiences?
