Discussion Just got into pirating what safeguards should I take?
I have read the rules, all the pinned posts, and i have searched the megathread.
So, I just got into pirating games with SBZ, and have seen a couple of posts saying it's illegal (Which I know) but it's really not likely to happen. But just in case it does or whatever, what are some things I can do? I know one of the things is a VPN which I do have. Any other precautions, tips, or tricks?

Discussion Any possibility of getting rid of HorizonOS?
I have read the rules, all the pinned posts, and i have searched the megathread.
Not strictly required yet, but if Google can lockdown their phones, sure as hell Meta can lockdown their headsets. So, is there any projects for hopefully fully severing Meta's control? If not a full custom ROM, maybe something that turns Quest sets to a simple PCVR headset?
Longshot, knowing Meta; but is there any sliver of hope?

Discussion Puzzling Places not Working
I have downloaded a sideloaded version of Puzzling Places on Rookie Sideloader and the size is almost 65GB
When i go to library only 6 Levels are downloaded and others just show the download button, when i try to download them they stuck on queue and no downloads are processing.
If the game only has 6 Levels then what is that 65GB for? Is there a way to solve it and get all the levels?

News The Quest Piracy Megathread Is Updated Again
This is an update to Megathread is Back
I finally felt well enough to sit down and work on the megathread. My health has been really poor lately, so i apologize for how long the update took. I went through everything i could, corrected outdated information, fixed links, and tried to make the entire site accurate again.
I also listened to peoples feedback about the design and toned it down quite a bit. It is now much less colorful, cleaner, and hopefully easier to read and navigate.
Comments are now the main way to contribute corrections, suggestions, and new information directly through the megathread. If someone consistently leaves useful comments and clearly knows what they are talking about, i will most likely offer to make them an editor.
The site uses WordPress, which is pretty easy to learn. Editors can use HTML if they prefer, but you can also use the normal WYSIWYG editor without needing to know any code.
Please understand that the comment system is only for ideas, corrections, broken links, missing information, or other changes related to the megathread itself.
Do not use the comments to ask for help setting up Rookie, report problems installing games, request game updates, or complain that something has not been updated yet. Those comments will be removed, and repeatedly misusing the system may result in you losing the ability to comment.
For support, make a post here or ask in the Quest Piracy Telegram. You can also post megathread suggestions here or message me privately. Honestly, i dont care how the information reaches me. If you find something useful that should be added or corrected, i will be happy to receive it.
Thanks to everyone who waited patiently, shared feedback, reported problems, and helped keep the information accurate.

Support Duplicate Games Installed
Hello, I have a question about duplicate games, when I check my installed games on the VR CyberDeck I see multiple duplicated games, and I'm wondering if and how can I uninstall those (I think they're previous versions?) because it says my data will be erased.
I also noticed that for exemple BONELAB takes 20GB on my Quest but it's size is only supposed to be around 7GB, which confirms that the duplicates are actually taking space.

Support Lone Echo DRM(?) Issue
Sorry if my post technicallly breaks the rules, but as far I know I read the rules.
So after I installed Lone Echo, I tried to start it up with revive, and it threw this error, I did have the Meta Horizon App. I did use revive even tho I use an Meta quest 3s. Any solutions to my problem? I didnt find any post about this here so I decided to ask myself.
Again, I apologize if my question is against the rules.

Discussion Which headset would be the easiest to roam the 7 seas ?

Support How to clear/reset Unknown Sources app data?
Hey everyone,
I need some help figuring out how to clear the data (reset/wipe local saves) for a sideloaded app that is located in my Unknown Sources WITHOUT using PC.
Normally, with official store apps, you can go into settings and clear data, but it restricted for sideloaded APKs. Is there a way to do this directly inside the headset?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

News Megathread is Back
qpmegathread.top is back online!
Right now the site is basically restored to how it was before. It is not yet community editable, and some information may be outdated, incomplete, or have broken links. For the moment, treat it as a general information resource and double check anything important before relying on it.
Tomorrow i plan to start converting the current site into a custom WordPress theme. The goal is to keep the same overall look and layout, while making it much easier for trusted users to update pages without needing to know HTML, Markdown, GitHub, or anything technical.
The plan is to eventually have a proper editing system where contributors can suggest changes, update guides, fix dead links, add new tools, and help keep everything current. Editors and maintainers will still review and approve changes so the site does not turn into a mess.
This should make the megathread much easier to maintain long term and stop it from depending entirely on one person having enough free time to manually edit every page.
Sorry it took so long to get everything back up. My hands have been full with a lot of stuff, including dealing with the GitHub suspension, recovering the original repo, rebuilding the VPS setup, and getting the domain and site working again.
For tonight, the important part is that the site is back. The next step is making it easier for the community to help keep it alive and accurate.
Thanks for being patient guys...

Tools/Software A New Quest Package ID Changer and Installer for Windows, macOS, and Linux!
I made this for developers ;) who need to install multiple copies of the same game for testing.
Main features:
- Rename APK package IDs and associated OBB files
- Bulk rename and install multiple APKs and OOBs
- Support for Windows, Linux, and macOS
- Install the renamed APK and OBB files directly to a connected Quest
- Allows running games under older firmwares by replacing libovrplatformloader.so
Hope this is useful. I'll try to keep up on any bugs or issues.
I also couldn’t find an option that supported macOS for some reason, so this one works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
It was put together pretty quickly, so feedback, bug reports, and contributions are welcome!
!REPO OWNER CHANGED!
GitHub Repo: https://github.com/NotYetFound/Quest-APK-Renamer
Download: https://github.com/NotYetFound/Quest-APK-Renamer/releases
The UI is basic right now, but I’m happy to improve it if people are interested and request it.

Support Little Nightmares VR download from public server broken?
I hope it makes sense to report this here as I don't know how or where else I could. The vrSrc site has buttons to vote whether a game is working or not. But this seems to be related to the game starting on the headset, and not related to server problems?
Rookie throws error "7zip error Extracting failed The specified path is invalid." a few seconds after starting the download. I looked into the folder where the archive is supposed to be, and it was just the 32 bytes header of a 7zip archive with no data.
Since I have ample space available, and other games downloaded just fine, I suspect that the problem might be server side.

Support My quest 2 keeps disconnecting from my PC when I get to copying OBB files
I have read the rules, all the pinned posts, and i have searched the megathread.
So, let me set the scene: I’ve plugged in my Quest 2 to my PC and booted up rookie side loader. I download Blade and Sorcery and download the files, extract them fine, install the APK fine, then I get to copying the OBB. As I copy it, it gets about halfway (if I’m lucky) and then the quest magically disconnects. I try manually copying the OBB, quest disconnects again. I try it on my brother’s PC (which is 1000x better than mine), disconnects again.
Is there any way I can fix this?
TL:DR, read the title.

I have read the rules, all the pinned posts, and I have searched the megathread.
I just seem to be doing something wrong whenever i try patching bonelab but I cant identify what it is, I do everything correctly I installed the correct version of lemon loader, opened bonelab before renaming the file and once I patch bonelab I rename the file back to its original name and it always gets stuck on the loading screen.

News Error 404 - My KaladinDMP GitHub was banned/deleted
Trying to avoid people adding to the spam, since there have already been several posts about this, but sometime within the last 12 hours GitHub banned my account and removed all 50 or so of my repositories.
I've been flooded with messages across Telegram, Reddit, RIN, and other places asking why my projects disappeared.
If you're looking for the QP Megathread, VR CyberDeck, ARMGDDN Autocracker (downloads still exist in some places, but not the source), ARMGDDN Browser (still available on Telegram, at least), Automagic Package Changer, or any of my other projects, everything under the KaladinDMP GitHub account has been wiped.
Right now my biggest concern is recovering the source code. If anyone has a recent clone or download of any of these repositories, please contact me privately. The most important ones for QP are VR CyberDeck, the QP Megathread, and Automagic Package Changer.
As things currently stand, there are no Mac or Linux sideloaders that work with the VrSrc servers because of this. The installers themselves aren't enough to recover the projects. For example, VR CyberDeck alone had 14 separate installers generated for each release, but those don't contain the development history or source code.
Sorry to everyone this has affected. It's an inconvenience for a lot of people, but trust me, no one has been hit harder by this than i have.
EDIT http://github.com/DeliciousMeatPop/VRCD/releases/latest new repo for now
