Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a VR headset to play EmuVR?
No, you can also play EmuVR in your monitor without any VR device!
Does it support Oculus Go, Oculus Quest, PSVR, Cardboard?
No.
EmuVR relies on graphic drivers features only present on Windows.
EmuVR works ONLY on: Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, WMR (experimental) and your 2D monitor. Windows only.
What about if I use something like Riftcat or Trinus?
You can try, however such workarounds are not supported. If you attempt to use these programs to make a DIY HMD, you're on your own.
Some users have already tested Riftcat and Trinus, and they do not work with EmuVR.
Can I play PS2 or Xbox games? PS3, Switch, Xbox One?
No.
EmuVR runs games trough Retroarch. That means an emulator needs to be a libretro core compatible with Retroarch for Windows.
There are no PS2 or Xbox cores currently.
Yes, a PS2 emulator exists, but that's not a libretro core, and it can't even be converted into one easily. You'll have to wait a few years until someone creates a completely new playable PS2 emulator/core.
What emulated systems are supported?
EmuVR can run almost every Retroarch core.
If it runs on Retroarch for windows, it theoretically runs in EmuVR.
The easiest way to see what systems are supported is to check the available system options in the Game Scanner.
Some specific cores may work on some computers and not on others. Please try alternative cores for your desired console.
Can I play any other games outside of Retroarch?
No.
What about that PS2 launcher core? And that Steam game launcher core?
They're just launchers, the games aren't running inside Retroarch. That doesn't work.
Where are the controllers? How do I play a game?
3D models for controllers aren't implemented yet.
Check out Starting Games to learn how to start and control a game!
Can I change the console model? What's this black "Generic" console?
For now, you'll see placeholder 3D models for consoles that aren't modeled yet, represented by the fantastic Knock-Off Generic EVR-9000 video game console. This allows you to play your games for every supported system before we get to model them all. Currently, there are models for PS1, N64 and SNES systems. More to come later.
Can I import my own 3D models? Can I create custom levels?
User Generated Content, also known as UCG or just mods, aren't implemented yet, but are final goal for EmuVR.
Every piece of EmuVR is being developed with UGC in mind for the future.
One day it will be possible to import your models and custom levels, but we're not there yet.
However, you can already customize some aspects of your bedroom.
I saw someone playing in the night/day, how do you change the time?
Please read How To Play: Time of Day and Switching the Light.
How do I save the layout of my room?
This feature is on the roadmap, but it's not implemented yet.
Does it have netplay? How can I play with friends?
Netplay is still in development.
Where can I find ROMs or BIOS files?
We don't provide any games, and we can't tell you where to download them.
You must bring your own games. The same goes for BIOS files.
DO NOT ASK FOR GAMES OR BIOS FILES.
EmuVR isn't working properly! / My games won't load!
Be sure to read Troubleshooting, and that you followed the Installation Guide fully.
If after reading that you still have issues, ask for help in our server in the #troubleshooting channel.
Do not send emails or DMs.
