iChris4/Wiicompiled_VR 0.2.47

WiiCompiled OpenXR VR 0.2.47 · Quest app 0.8.0

on GitHub

Talk to the other players in your Retro Rewind room, in VR or on the flat screen, on PC and on the
Quest. VR frame interpolation now moves the scene in even steps. This release also brings in
upstream WiiCompiled 0.9.4.

You still supply your own clean Mario Kart Wii disc image. No game code and no game data ships in
any download here.

Voice chat, by @zurasaaa

Ported from MKW-VoiceChat by @zurasaaa (GPL-3.0),
with his permission to use his code and his public signaling server. Thank you!

• Talk to your Retro Rewind room, public or friend room, as soon as you are in it. It speaks
  MKW-VoiceChat's protocol, so you also hear, and are heard by, players who use MKW-VoiceChat.
• Turn it on under F10 → Voice Chat or on the headset panel's Voice tab on PC, and in
  the Quest app under Settings → Voice, which also asks for the microphone. It is off until
  you enable it.
• Open mic by default: your voice is sent while you speak. Push to talk is also available
  (hold V on the keyboard, or press and hold the left thumbstick in VR), with mute, deafen, a volume per player,
  mute presets (everyone, friends, teammates, new players) and noise suppression.
• Positional voices in races: each voice comes from its player's kart, left or right, nearer
  or farther.
• Who is talking shows on screen, and in an immersive VR race as a small badge on the race's
  HUD screen.
• On Windows, the connection to the signaling server is encrypted but its certificate is not
  checked (a limitation of the library MKW-VoiceChat also uses). The voices themselves are
  encrypted end to end between players.

VR frame interpolation

• Smoother motion. With VR frame interpolation on, each headset image now shows the scene at
  its own display time, so the scene moves by the same step on every refresh instead of carrying
  the timing jitter of the frame worker. On a PS VR2 at 120 Hz and a Quest 3 at 72 Hz the error
  per step dropped about five times.

Quest

• Build on Quest works again for Retro Rewind. It stopped with "The translator failed while
  checking the Retro-WFC payload".
• The app's settings have a new Voice tab.

From upstream WiiCompiled 0.9.4

Thanks to patchzyy and the upstream contributors.

• NTSC-U (RMCE01) and NTSC-J (RMCJ01) discs are accepted by the PC setup. In this fork
  their races stay on the flat virtual screen (no immersive race, first-person camera or
  cockpit): the VR features are developed and tested on PAL RMCP01.
• Faster translation during setup.
• Shake to trick: shake a controller that has a motion sensor to do a trick (F10,
  controller settings).
• An aspect ratio choice for monitors that are not 16:9.
• Fixed: lap counting after a respawn near the finish line, and audio timing slowly drifting
  behind real time.
• Steam controllers: B no longer opens the exit prompt, and Steam's desktop controller layout
  stays off while the game is focused.
• Performance fixes ported from other forks.

Upgrading

• Quest: install the app that matches your headset over the existing one:
  WiiCompiledVR-Quest-0.8.0.apk on Quest 2, 3, 3S and Pro, WiiCompiledVR-Quest1-0.8.0.apk on the
  original Quest. Saves, settings, game files and the Retro Rewind pack are kept. Your built game
  will show as out of date because the runtime changed, so build it again on the headset, or with
  Build for Quest in WheelWizard VR after updating WiiCompiled on your PC to 0.2.47.
• PC: WheelWizard VR offers the update, or install over your existing installation as usual.
  Saves, Miis and ghosts are kept.
