About

A VR port of pure-recomp, the native port of Wipeout Pure (PSP, 2005) made by static recompilation: the game's own code runs directly on the headset, no emulator. Races are drawn twice, once per eye, so the tracks, ships and weapons have real depth, and you can look around freely while you race. The HUD floats in front of you; menus, movies and the port's settings are on a large curved screen.

On the first start the app downloads the HD texture pack by NR74W in the background and switches to it by itself when it's done.

PICO support is brand new and not tested on PICO hardware yet: reports are very welcome. One APK covers both makes.

Features

Stereo 3D races with head tracking: look into the corners and over the edge of the track
60 fps races at full game speed, shown at 120 Hz on Quest 3
HD texture pack downloaded on the first start, sharp eyes plus 2x MSAA
Shaders for the whole game prepared in the background: no stutter in the first races
Menus on the left stick too, the port's settings menu on both stick clicks
Runs on PICO 4 / Neo 3 too, from the same APK (untested)

Manual

Installation

Enable developer mode on your headset.
Download the APK below and sideload it with SideQuest or adb install -r WipeoutPure-VR-v0.1.0-beta.apk. SideQuest is a Quest tool, so on PICO use adb or whichever sideloader you already use.
Start Wipeout Pure VR once from Library → Unknown Sources, so it creates its folder, then quit it with the Meta / PICO button.
Copy your disc image (any name ending in .iso) into Android/data/online.portroyale.wipeoutpurevr/files/import/ on the headset: with the box above, a PC file manager, SideQuest's file manager or adb push WipeoutPure.iso /sdcard/Android/data/online.portroyale.wipeoutpurevr/files/import/.
Start the app again: it checks the image, sets the game up in a few seconds and starts. With Wi-Fi, the HD textures download in the background while you play.

Good to know

This is the first beta, tested on Quest 3. The APK contains no game data, and only the US Greatest Hits disc (UCUS-98612 v2.00) is supported: if the image is a different one, import/SETUP-ERROR.txt says why.
Don't want the HD textures? Create an empty file no-hd-textures in Android/data/online.portroyale.wipeoutpurevr/files/ before the first start. Have the pack already? Copy its folder (the one with textures.ini) to files/textures/UCUS98612/.
Saves and settings live in the app's files/ folder. Uninstalling the app deletes it, so copy it to your PC first.
PICO needs PICO OS 5.9.0 or newer. The PICO build is untested: if it doesn't start or the controllers do nothing, please open an issue on GitHub and attach files/PureNative.log.
No online (ad hoc) multiplayer yet. Settings for testers (eye resolution, MSAA, 72 fps races) are in the repository's README-QUEST.md.

Controller mapping

Controller	In a race	In the menus
Left stick	Steer	Move the cursor
Right trigger or A	Thrust	Confirm
Left trigger	Fire weapon
Left / right grip	Left / right airbrake
X	Absorb the weapon (shield energy)
B	Look behind	Back
Y	Change the camera view
Menu button or left stick click	Pause
Right stick	D-pad	D-pad
Both stick clicks	The port's settings menu

Hold the Meta / PICO button to re-centre the view. In the pause menu the left stick moves the cursor up and down while you don't thrust. PICO controllers use the same layout.

Download

Install from your browser

Over USB, for Meta Quest and PICO: installs the app and copies your own game files to the right place. No SideQuest, no adb. Works in Chrome or Edge on a PC, Mac or Android phone.

The installer needs JavaScript. Use the manual download below.

First time? Before you start

Turn on developer mode. Quest: Meta Horizon app on your phone → Devices → your headset → Headset settings → Developer mode. PICO: Settings → General → About → tap Software version 7 times, then Settings → Developer → turn on USB debugging.
Connect the headset to this computer with a USB cable that carries data (not a charge-only cable).
Close SideQuest and Meta Quest Developer Hub. If you use adb, run adb kill-server first: only one program can talk to the headset at a time.
Windows: if the headset doesn't show up in the list, install the Meta Quest ADB driver.
After pressing Connect, put on the headset and allow USB debugging for this computer.
