AstroQuest 0.24

On the Quest, throws hit their targets again (the bot on the plane in 1-2 can be freed) and the game can be copied to the headset without adb. On the PC, the launcher says more when Windows closes the emulator.

Quest

  • The game can be copied without adb (#44). With the headset on its cable, make a folder named AstroQuest in its storage from the computer's file explorer and copy the game's folder (CUSA12392) into it. When the app finds no game it tells you so: press A (✕ on a gamepad), switch on "Allow access to all files" for the app in the screen the headset shows, and go back. The two places used until now (/data/local/tmp/astro/games and the app's own folder) still work.
  • A game folder that is nested one level too deep is found (a CUSA12392 inside a CUSA12392), and the app says so when what it finds is a .pkg file, which has to be unpacked on a PC first.
  • Throws hit their targets again (#42). At the app's 30 frames a second, what Astro throws could fly through a thin target without the game noticing, and a throw at a moving target was aimed twice too far ahead of it: the bot on the plane wing in 1-2 could not be freed. The game's physics now work in steps as short as the console's, and the aim uses the real length of a frame. Tried on a Quest 3: the plane can be hit.

PC

  • When Windows closes the emulator on the spot (exit code -1073740791, #46), the launcher now shows which part it happened in (the emulator, the graphics driver, the headset's software) and saves that as pc-vr\user\log\windows-error.txt. Attach it with shad_log.txt when you report a crash.
  • The launcher under Proton: steps contributed by queenbiscuit311 (#48) are in README-PC-VR.md.

Files

  • AstroQuest-0.24-Quest3.apk: the app for the Quest 3 and 3S (adb install -r; it installs over 0.20 and later and keeps your saves).
  • AstroQuest-0.24-PC-VR-Windows.zip: the PC version. Unzip it into a folder with a short path and start Play Astro Bot VR.bat. Updating: keep your games folder and pc-vr\user (your saves).

How to install and play is in the README.
