v0.12
8b1173f

A simpler install on the PC. ASTRO BOT Rescue Mission (PS4 / PlayStation VR) in virtual reality on Meta Quest 3, on the headset alone or from a Windows PC through Virtual Desktop.

You need your own copy of the game: the European release CUSA12392, version 1.00, dumped from your own console. No game files are included.

What is new in 0.12 (PC)

  • Put the game in the games folder in either form and start: the game's folder (the one with eboot.bin in it) or its .pkg file, anywhere in games. A package is unpacked the first time, after asking: about a minute, and about 13 GB. (Only a package made from a dump can be unpacked; one from the PlayStation Store is encrypted.)
  • No more text file to edit: when the game is not found, a window asks where it is and remembers the answer.
  • Clearer messages when the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime is missing, when the folder's path is too long for the game's files, and when Windows is short of the memory the emulator asks for.

The Quest app is the same as in 0.11.

Downloads

File What it is
AstroQuest-0.12-Quest3.apk The Quest 3 app ("Astro VR Host"). Install it with adb install -r AstroQuest-0.12-Quest3.apk (or SideQuest), copy the game's folder with adb push CUSA12392 /data/local/tmp/astro/games/, pair the DualSense with the headset, and start it from Unknown Sources.
AstroQuest-0.12-PC-VR-Windows.zip The PC version. Unzip it to a short path such as C:\Games\AstroQuest, put the game in its games folder, set Virtual Desktop to VDXR and 120 Hz, connect the DualSense to the PC, and start Play Astro Bot VR.bat.
SHA256SUMS.txt Checksums of the two files above.

Step-by-step instructions: README.

Good to know

  • Only CUSA12392 version 1.00 is known to work.
  • The headset needs the game's folder, not a .pkg: the PC version unpacks one (drop it in games, start once, copy games\CUSA12392).
  • On the headset, the app keeps your saves in its own folder: updating keeps them, uninstalling deletes them.
  • On the PC, keep the folder path short: Windows does not let the emulator open game files whose full path is longer than 260 characters.
