Game Astro Bot Rescue Mission: NOW ON PSVR2

63 Upvotes

Hi, excited to release this one, took a very long time, failed attempts and I did give up a few times.... but was quite highly requested.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission, the PS4 PS VR game, now plays on PS VR2. The game isn't modified. A payload hooks it, answers its PS VR calls and sends the frames to the headset through the PS5's own VR libraries. This took a lot of painful trial and error and an unfortunately long time having my VR2 headset on trying to check if it works. My PS5VR media app I made was a big help as I already found use of the PSVR2 calls.

Features so far: head tracking, rotation and position, so headbutts work. 60 fps from the game, reprojected to 120 Hz in the headset. The TV shows what the headset shows (not sure how PSVR shows this as it could potentially be a cropped image but now it mirrors the headset screen). Take the headset off and it pauses. The in-game controller follows your DualSense's rotation. Hold L1 and use the d-pad, circle and square to move it. No PS VR, camera or setup dialog needed. Option button recentres the controller.

Jailbroken PS5 13.60 with kstuff, your own CUSA12392 version 1.00 (EU, no updates) are needed. To install, send 'astrobotvr2.elf' to your payload loader, or add it to autoload. Tried to make it as easy as I can. The first start builds a few files from your own console's firmware. That's a one time thing.

Working on: hand tracking, so the controller sits between your palms. I've already got it running in PS5VR, so it's a matter of getting it working inside a PS4 game now.

Massive gratitude for the work from bigmak94 for AstroQuest. Their research on the game is the only reason I thought this was feasible. Wouldn't have attempted this without them.

If you hit a problem, grab `/data/astrobotvr2/agent.log` and open an issue on the site. I don't have the original PSVR so I'm hoping people can mention any bugs as this is the first build :) would help a lot. Shamless plug to my donation site on the site if anyone wants to support the work, would help a lot with web hosting fees, VPS server and time it took to make this work.

News Are My PS5 Brethren Aware of What's Happening on the PC Side of VR?

33 Upvotes

There's been an insane revolution in the PC VR modding community lately thanks to the accelerating computational power of AI.

We're seeing a flood of new PC VR mods nearly every day for AAA titles old or new. A VR mod for Bloodborne is the latest one I've played but there are so many new ones I can't keep up. Sure some of them might be a little janky but you also have extremely polished, full VR mods like the one for Titanfall 2 that literally make the game feel as if it was a made for VR release. It's just incredible.

If you love your PSVR2 and you love VR in general you should be thinking of jumping into the PC realm sooner or later. Like a lot of big companies, Sony is abandoning VR so if you want an escape plan that will let you play pretty much any game in VR on your PSVR2s, this is the way ... Not trying to criticize the console scene--I own a PS5 and it's my favorite console by far, but as a famous musician once said, you don't need a weatherman to see which way the wind blows. If you need help transitioning into the PC world there are forums on here with lots of friendly advice. Best thing about PC is it's modular--so you can buy less expensive components to start out with and then individually replace them with higher end stuff down the road. Just my two cents.

Pls help Headphone static noise

0 Upvotes

Got a headset about 3 days ago and I've noticed that whenever I close a game, theres a loud sudden staticky BUZZ noise, just for a second, this wouldn't be an issue if it was just when closing a game, but in Alien Rogue Incursion the sound happens randomly without any warning and I'm worried it might happen on other games,

The headset is brand new so idk if I should try and get a repair/replacement, buy a new pair of headphones or what, any advice?

Game ¿Por qué la comunidad tiene que hacer el trabajo que las desarrolladoras ignoran

10 Upvotes

Últimamente le he estado dando vueltas a lo que pasa con la realidad virtual. Es alucinante ver cómo apasionados o modders con poca o ninguna experiencia previa en desarrollo profesional consiguen adaptar juegos planos a VR, creando experiencias brutales y muchas veces totalmente gratis.
Con herramientas como UEVR o mods comunitarios queda demostrado que adaptar un juego a VR no siempre requiere rehacerlo desde cero. Obviamente tiene su merito y su trabajo de optimización, pero si un modder en sus tiempos libres logra meterte dentro de un mundo AAA y hacer que funcione, ¿qué excusa tienen los grandes estudios?
Especialmente con hardware potente como PS5 y PSVR2, da la sensación de que las empresas están dejando pasar una auténtica gallina de los huevos de oro. Tienen catálogos enteros de juegos increíbles que, con un parche o un modo VR oficial, revivirían en ventas y atraerían a muchísima gente al visor. Sin embargo, prefieren no arriesgar ni un euro mientras la comunidad demuestra gratis todo el potencial que se está desaprovechando.
¿Creéis que es simplemente falta de visión de las editoras, miedo al riesgo o que directamente no ven suficiente mercado para invertir en ports oficiales?

Pls help Most important accessory for PSVR2

17 Upvotes

Hi guys,

Recently I bought a PSVR2 and already purchased a few games. What would you guys recommend as first accessory? I'll be buying a charging station for the controllers, magnetic plano lens protector from VR Rock (no prescription since I don't wear glasses) and a CMP2 Globular Cluster? But which one of those 3 that I previously mentioned should I buy first?

Thanks for reading!

Sorry if this has already been asked already but I cannot find anything anywhere regarding it. When I take a photo a photo is stuck underneath the camera. The photo stuck is the size of a mattress. It's huge, I can't even enter some rooms when holding the camera.

Has this happened to anyone? Is there a way to fix it?

This mission is stupid. It tells me to harvest resources... ok? But doesn't tell me how. I assume I am meant to shoot the crystals but i have done that and they don't seem to do anything. Do I have that wrong and I am just meant to hose down swarms of enemies?

this mission is driving me nuts because of the lack of direction. Am I on the right track with shooting the crystals?

Community Beta Update MS Flight Simulator quick impression

25 Upvotes

So, it's a me back with new quick impression of the latest Beta for FS24 on Playstation VR2! The last beta was quite interesting, as I found it to be better performing than the full game at the time. This time, performance is not very much improved, rather the contrary. The framerate chugs along, stutters, degenerate buildings. I am switching off photogrammetry in the video, to check the difference. See for Yourself. And try for Yourself, maybe my internet just had a bad day.
