OK, let’s get started!
I’ve just finished making this place so we could publish updates on EmuVR, so I’ll be reposting here each update made until now in the Oculus VR Forum thread!
The following is the very first post about EmuVR.
Hello! This is a virtual environment where you can load your favorite old games into a TV or a cinema screen and just play!
Just like SnesVR, but for many other systems too!
I’m using a Retroarch version with some modifications and Unity, so you can emulate anything Libretro can!
Here’s a list of what it can emulate:
Systems:
SNES, Arcade, PlayStation, NES, Game Boy/Color, Game Boy Advance, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Sega 32x, Master System, Game Gear, PC Engine, Neo-Geo Pocket, Virtual Boy, Atari 2600, Atari Lynx, WonderSwan, Nintendo DSGame
Engines:
Quake, Doom, Cave Story
WIP:
DOSBox, Nintendo 64, ScummVM, PSP, Sega Saturn
Videos!

You’ll need a Xbox 360 controller for this (or a PS3 controller emulating one). Currently it cannot handle keyboard or mouse input, so unfortunately you will not be able to play DOSbox, ScummVM or Nintendo DS games just yet.
The actual project:
- You’re a kid again, in your typical 80’s/90’s bedroom, with posters and whatnot, where you manually grab one of your many game cartridges/CDs (with actual labels), insert it into one of your many consoles plugged into a TV, turn it on, sit down and play!
- Play on a oldscool 20″ CRT TV or on a huge LCD TV. Stick your face to the screen and see those pixels just like your old TV.
- If you look down, you’ll be holding that console’s controller.
- On another environment, you’ll play in a cinema screen! Or you could spawn a cinema screen inside your bedroom!
- Or maybe an arcade filled with arcade machines, like NewRetroArcade.
- Multiple machines running at the same time if your hardware can handle it
- Netplay! Retroarch already supports 2 players netplay, so you should just host a game, your friend writes your IP and boom! Also, you get to see your friend by your side, holding his controller and looking at you
