TruthXR 0.1.5 is an experimental VR port of Blood & Truth for Windows PC, built on shadPS4. It runs through OpenXR, so it works with a Meta Quest 3 through Virtual Desktop, or other OpenXR headsets. It is free.

This is still a development preview: the game now loads and reaches VR, but closes after a few seconds there. Don't expect to play through it yet.

You need

  • Your own dumped copy of Blood & Truth: CUSA11108, version 1.00, as the unpacked game folder or a .pkg made from a dump. No game files are included.
  • Windows x64, a Vulkan GPU, an OpenXR runtime, a VR headset with two tracked controllers, and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 x64 runtime.

What's new

  • One-file launcher. TruthXR-0.1.5.exe is the whole download. It installs itself into %LOCALAPPDATA%\TruthXR, and future versions update it while keeping your settings and saves.
  • Point it at your game. Choose the game folder, its eboot.bin, or a dumped .pkg from anywhere. Packages are unpacked once, next to themselves, with a progress bar.
  • The game reaches VR. On a Quest 3 it loads and hands its first pictures to the headset.
  • Headset and controller picker. Quest 3 / 3S, Quest 2, Quest Pro, Pico 4, PS VR2, Index, Vive, WMR or other. It sets the matching controllers and field of view, and Buttons... shows the controls.
  • Picture presets. Low, Medium and High, plus resolution, sharpening, desktop mirror, and a field of view slider in degrees that matches your headset's real view.
  • Log tab for reports, with Copy and Open log folder.
  • Clear messages when the game is missing or the wrong version, a package can't be unpacked, another emulator is open, or the game closes with an error.

Also fixed

  • Removed four settings the old launcher passed that the emulator never used.
  • The emulator's console window is hidden without hiding the desktop mirror window.
  • Your choices are remembered between starts.

Getting started

  1. Run TruthXR-0.1.5.exe. Windows may warn about an unknown publisher: choose More info → Run anyway.
  2. When it asks, show it your game.
  3. Pick your headset and a preset, connect the headset, wake both controllers, and press Play.
  4. The first start loads for several minutes on a black screen with two arrows at the bottom. Keep waiting.

Known problems

  • On a Quest 3 through Virtual Desktop, the game closes with an error a few seconds after VR starts. The first VR picture is red inside a large black frame.
  • A crash during loading has been seen once.
  • Geometry and textures can disappear or pop in and out.
  • Higher resolutions are experimental and not yet confirmed to apply.
  • Only the Quest 3 has been tried.

If it closes with an error, open the Log tab → Copy, and include that when you report a problem.

v0.1.1
2a480b2

A small update to the v0.1.0 development preview of TruthXR, an experimental Windows OpenXR port of Blood & Truth based on shadPS4. It is not a finished or reliably playable port.

New in 0.1.1

  • The launcher can now unpack a game .pkg for you. Put the .pkg in a games folder next to Play Blood and Truth.bat, or enter its path in the launcher. It asks first, shows progress, and unpacks the game once.
  • Clear error messages for files that aren't PS4 packages, packages from the PlayStation Store (encrypted), too little disk space, and unreadable game descriptions.
  • Unpacking uses PkgTool from LibOrbisPkg (LGPL-3.0), included unmodified with its license.

You need

  • Windows x64, a Vulkan-capable GPU, an active OpenXR runtime, a VR headset with two tracked controllers, and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 x64 runtime.
  • Your own copy of Blood & Truth CUSA11108 version 1.00, either extracted or as a .pkg made from a dump. No game files are included.

Known problems

  • Geometry and textures can disappear or pop in and out, including walls and hands.
  • Loading stalls and crashes remain possible.
  • Higher resolutions are experimental.
  • The emulator executable is unchanged from 0.1.0
