EmuVR is currently in open beta, with frequent updates to fix issues and add new features.
Version 1.0.4.3 (Current)
Version 1.0.4.3 was released to Discord on May 27, 2019.
- Fix an issue where you wouldn't hear anything from the games on your Oculus Rift S internal headphones.
- Improve virtual hands alignment with Vive controllers.
Version 1.0.4.2
Version 1.0.4.2 was released to Discord on May 21, 2019.
This is a smaller patch released while the next actual update is still being worked on in parallel. This brings support for more refresh rates in preparation to the Oculus Rift S and Vive Index launches, while merging all the smaller patches released in the server along the way, for a simpler installation process.
Changes:
- Synch physics to new detected refresh rates when rendering with new HMDs like the Oculus Rift S and Valve Index, fixing physics judder when not rendering at 90Hz in VR.
- Fix the White ring/glow for good, without any workarounds or settings to enable, with no performance impact at all, for everyone. It's just fixed.
- Fix the screen shaking when highlighting objects for some Oculus users.
- Fix custom bedroom textures offset values not being applied.
- Add a black and silver rim to PS1 CDs.
- New setting to disable Rift's internal audio for games if you're using external headphones. No need for disabling audio devices anymore.
- Made Stella2014 the default core for Atari 2600, as the previous one is broken now.
- New and returning cores added to the Game Scanner:
- BlastEm (Sega Genesis); Beetle PCE(PC Engine / SuperGrafx / CD); MESS 2015 (Various); QUASI88 (NEC PC-8001 / PC-8801); Reicast WinCE (Sega Dreamcast WinCE); YabaSanshiro (Sega Saturn)
Version 1.0.4.1
Version 1.0.4.1 was released to Discord on March 02, 2019.
This is a hotfix patch that fixes a lot of different bugs. Additionally, games should run faster in EmuVR again.
Fixes:
- EmuVR should no longer crash when turning on some systems only at night, in Oculus mode only.
- Re-enabled threaded video by default, which will make your games run faster and fix stuttering on some machines. This was accidentally disabled in the 1.0.4 update last week, so your games should now be faster again.
- The new wall clock UI will no longer appear in reflections.
- Game Scanner will now show the proper number of games counted; previously this number was being subtracted by 1.
- Fixed hands still highlighting objects while being hidden from using gamepad / keyboard input.
Version 1.0.4
Version 1.0.4 was released to Discord on February 24, 2019.
New:
- Mouse and Keyboard input for games
- This increases the working cores list, which will now include: DOS, Commodore 64 / 128 / PLUS4 / VIC20, Commodore Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari 5200, ZX Spectrum, MSX, Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon, NEC PC-98, Sharp X68000, ScummVM, ZX81
- This also allows for playing some games for cores that support mouse or keyboard as extra peripherals, like Mario Paint for the SNES and The Typing of the Dead for Dreamcast.
- Enabling this feature might not be very straightforward for some cores, so check the new instructions: Keyboard and Mouse Input for Games
Changes:
- Wall clock: if you try to change the time while in "real system time", it will now just automatically switch into "custom time" mode.
- Wall clock: new visual indications when you point to it, helping new users being aware that you can change the time.
- Pressing Esc does not instantly close EmuVR anymore. The new shortcut is Shift + Esc.
- Press H to hide/show the HUD (crosshair and object highlighting).
- The music player core will now show an animated audio visualizer on the screen.
- New setting to to hide the baseboard. Look up "hide_baseboard" here: Settings.
- Disable NTSC shader and/or scanlines for systems that aren't supposed to use them. Ex: DOS and Vectrex. (More to come)
- Hide hands when using gamepad or keyboard. Show hands again when using hand controllers. To be able to find your hidden hands (as you need to touch your hand controllers before they reappear), use the Force Show Hands command.
Fixes:
- The DOSBox cores are now way faster than before in EmuVR.
- White glow/ring fix for some SteamVR players. Only use this if you actually need it: White glow fix instructions.
- Fix core overriders causing Retroarch to ignore config appending. This fixes the need for the previous N64 patch.
- Fix hands still casting (glitchy) shadows while being invisible from grabbing an object.
- Fix EmuVR crashing when videos finish playing on some machines.
- Fix analog input also pressing the DPad for Gamecube games.
- Fix screen images being slightly cut at the edges.
- Fix custom labels not loading if your EmuVR path contains brackets.
- Fix no games at all even showing in the menu if your EmuVR path has a single unmatched bracket.
- Fix hand pointer not being disabled when you grab an object from the menu with Vive controllers (now you can grab with both hands)
- Fix that using the "Attach cables" button would sometimes try to start attaching them again after completing the action.
- Fixes 100% GPU usage on "Fastest" by enabling Vsync for all quality presets. (Those presets are just temporary, proper graphics quality settings are coming soon)
Game Scanner:
- Game Scanner: New "Core Options" dialog. Currently you can only toggle mouse and keyboard input. More options to come in the future.
- Game Scanner: Change how DOSBox games are added, preventing every random exe file in the folder to be scanned into the playlist. Check the new section to learn how to do that: Adding DOSBox Games
- Game Scanner: New "Update Core List" button. This does not update or redownload your cores, it just updates the list.
- Game Scanner: Fix scan results for Arcade and NeoGeo games.
- Game Scanner: Check if the patch was actually applied successfully, making it easier to diagnose this rare issue.
- New Cores:
- EasyRPG (RPG Maker 2000/2003), Craft (Minecraft clone), DOSBox-SVN Glide (DOS), Mupen64Plus-Next (Nintendo 64), Kronos (Sega Saturn), PrBoom (Doom), TyrQuake (Quake 1), MAME 2015 (Arcade), FreeChaF (Fairchild Channel F), SimCoupe (SAM Coupe)
