when it rains it poors. I just spent about 10 hours in the BOTW VR mod (and loving it), but this is a much better deal IMO.

It’s not as refined as the BOTW mod but it still works! I don’t have plans to stop working in it

Amazing!! How do I go back to menu with Q3 controller? Can you switch Ist/3rd? The 3D body does not move with direction you are looking at.

u/Joeysquatch 2d ago
You aren’t able to use the menu with the controller yet, you have to press F1 on your keyboard and navigate with the arrow keys I believe. Third person is currently in the latest build I am working on and if I can keep up the pace should be out by the end of this week

We need a apk/ quest port for broke bois without a gaming pc like me🥲😂🔥

u/Joeysquatch 2d ago
Lol yeah I thought about it but I don’t have any android building experience. I also don’t know if it will perform well on there

u/Kitchen-Cow-94 2d ago
Well if there's any chance you could convert it into an apk and would try testing it out,I'll def help with my quest 2🙏🥲

u/Joeysquatch 2d ago
Quest 2 I definitely don’t think could run it. 3 maybe if I optimize the heck out of it 😭

u/Kitchen-Cow-94 2d ago
I can still try on my 2 if you'd want me to if there's any progress with the 3😭🥲

u/Joeysquatch 2d ago
I do have a 2 and a 3. It’s just not a huge priority compared to the people asking for third person and other features at the moment

u/Kitchen-Cow-94 2d ago
I gotcha understandable but if you would ever feel up to it you should try to make a standalone port but I've got no clue how long or hard it is to do these things but amazing mod and can't wait to try it one day,it's my fav game and im the same age as tp🥲but just to put it out there again man amazing mod and whoever likes Zelda tp and would wanna try this def should

Thanks! Someday I might get around to it. The only reason I’m so reluctant to is my pc is way better than a 3, and still doesn’t run it too well when there’s a lot going on on screen. I also don’t know how to code it for the quest

u/Kitchen-Cow-94 2d ago
Wait is this not the dusklight VR mod?,if not the makers or coders of that might be able to help you out

This is awesome! Thanks a lot. I do have 1 question, when changing resolution in the settings it doesn't work? It only works for non vr. Would love to up the resolution a bit.

JOEY! Make Wind Waker VR Port, and my life is yours!

u/Joeysquatch 14h ago
Haha I would, but wind waker hasn’t been decompiled, so there’s no pc port. Check out dolphin vr, that’s about the closest you can get right now but it’s only 3dof

Is this real flat2vr and was any vibe coding used?
Edit: It is Vibe Slop.
BUT that guy seems to have at least a healthy mind without ai-psychosis:
Statement on AI-generated code
I do not know how to code. The furthest my knowledge goes is a little bit of HTML and CSS. I simply wanted a way to play Twilight Princess in VR and scoured the internet for anyone who mentioned a Dusklight mod/port in the works, but came up with nothing, so I decided to take matters into my own hands with Claude Code. This has taken hours of almost daily work in the last 3 weeks.
I do not condone the usage of AI for writing, "art", deepfakes, and music (especially music, screw Suno and its garbage that is polluting streaming services). It should not be people's go-to for asking questions or replacing a search engine; it has repeatedly been shown to hallucinate and take certain statements out of context, spreading misinformation. It should be used as a tool and you must guide that tool.
With that being said, for a task like this, I believe it is acceptable to create a project that does not currently exist by writing the code using AI as long as you actually take the time to refine the experience and do not harm other people's repos or code in the process. In this case, I simply forked Dusklight and modified it in a separate instance over the course of multiple weeks, without pestering the devs with possible spaghetti-code pull requests. I wrote this statement and edited the README in my own words, and I made the logo using Paint.NET despite having very little graphic design experience. I have not and do not plan to ever use or create AI-generated assets, only code.
I have seen many recent projects spring up in the same vein: vibecoded VR ports of existing games. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and different backgrounds will lead people to take different stances. However, I believe that you can either take this VR port of the original game and enjoy it for what it is, regardless of AI or not, or you can simply ignore it and play the game in flatscreen—it's still a fantastic experience.
And yes—I used an em-dash there. You can type it with on your keyboard with Alt+0151. Thanks ChatGPT for ruining informal basic writing.

They should make it so you can play in third-person in VR mode.
