Here's how you can emulate games in VR

[loxai]

Hi, just joined the forum.

Quick intro:
I'm a developer, I make Trinus (VR software to connect smartphones and psvr to PC).
I'm a retro collector, and love to play the classics... whenever I get the time (nowadays I use my children as a gaming history lesson excuse   )


I wanted to share this cool VR option, possible thanks to Dolphin (standard version, not the discontinued VR branch).
Basically, you can immerse into many Nintendo classics using Trinus VR.

There are a few Trinus versions, for Google Cardboard, Daydream and PSVR. But the procedure is similar in all cases: connecting the headset to PC and setting up Dolphin.

Here are the instructions: http://oddsheepgames.com/?topic=mario-kart-in-vr
These are a bit outdated, since I tested it a long time ago. You are welcomed to revise and provide better instructions

One nice plus is that you do not need a VR Ready PC.

If you are going to play with Sony's VR headset, I'd recommend using an xbox gamepad... just to bring peace to console wars and say you are playing Nintendo games using a Sony VR headset and Microsoft gamepad

Let me know your thoughts about this, I think it's quite fun!

If you are indeed the developer of TrinusVR you might want to update your instructions as they are using Dolphin 4.0.2 which hasn't been supported anymore for almost 4 years now (since 5.0 came out) and even 5.0 stable is almost 4 years old now and the latest development versions have had almost 12000 fixes, patches, updates and enhancements since then.

Just made a quick update. Doesn't look like there has been much change regarding the relevant parts, though.

Also linked the video by JRaeGames (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDvMrlgC_P4), using 5.0-250 and with more detailed instructions.
