GoldenEye VR v0.4.3: wrist status, reloads and multiplayer flow
Bring your own game. This APK contains no GoldenEye game data. You need a ROM of the USA cartridge you own. Installing over an earlier release keeps your ROM and settings.
Wrist status and controls
- The existing watch face now shows live health, armour and multiplayer radar, with its moving clock hands. Holster your offhand to read it.
- Watch face status: Off / On / Only is available in Controls. On is the default, showing wrist status alongside the standard displays. Only uses wrist status in stereo gameplay; pause-menu status and damage tint remain. Virtual-screen mode keeps the standard displays.
- Watch gesture to pause is a separate saved toggle, enabled by default. The Menu button continues working when the gesture is disabled.
- Ammo counters follow handedness, keeping each weapon's magazine and reserve together.
- Independent reloads: B reloads the physical right hand, Y the left. Press both to reload both guns; either button reloads a single weapon. You can fire one gun while the other reloads.
- Launcher Controls now uses two columns, keeping the new watch options visible without scrolling.
Multiplayer (#106)
- Ready choices reach the host reliably. The roster includes every connected player, with loading and spectator status, so an unseen joiner cannot silently hold up the next match.
- The host can request readiness or votes. Reminders appear during gameplay, including for spectators with their menus closed.
- Host kick controls are available in the launcher lobby and pause menu, with confirmation before removal. Kicked guests return to the launcher.
- First and subsequent rounds get two minutes of warmup on the chosen map, followed by a ten-second countdown when everyone is ready and loaded. The host can start the countdown sooner or cancel it to keep practicing. Practice scores, deaths and pickups reset for the match.
- A solo host can restart warmup with different maps and options without returning to the launcher.
- Fixes address remote player facing and death animations disappearing early.
Network protocol remains 17. Install this build on every headset for host kicks and gameplay reminders; older guests can still play, with their Kick control disabled until they update.
