Resident Evil Code: Veronica X – Port VR v1.5.0 (Windows and Meta Quest)

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X in VR, on PC (OpenXR; tested on Meta Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop) and natively on a Meta Quest, with no PC (.apk; tested on Meta Quest 2).

Built on recvx-enhanced-recomp by aikatore and the recvx-decomp decompilation by AshfordFamily. All credit for the PC port goes to them.

No game data is included. You need your own disc image (PS2, NTSC-U, SLUS-20184, .iso).

What's new in 1.5.0

Reloading by hand, Quest and PC

• Ammo pouch: your ammo is now in a leather pouch at your belt (at your chest when you play seated). It opens when your left hand comes to it. Take ammo with the left grip and put it in the gun. While you hold ammo, a faint orange outline blinks on the gun where it goes (set for the shotgun, the pistol, the grenade launcher and the bow gun; a gun without one takes the ammo when your hand is near it). A small plate shows the rounds in the gun and the rounds left in the pouch, and it is always right.
• Pistols behave like pistols: B takes the magazine out and one round stays in the chamber. A pistol that runs empty stays open at the slide; put a magazine in, then pull the slide back with your left hand (squeeze the left grip on the slide) to fire. The pouch buzzes when your grip is on the slide, and the gun tilts as the slide is pulled.
• Shotgun and Magnum: rounds go in one at a time, and you see the round in your hand (the shotgun's shell, the Magnum's own round).
• Grenade launcher and bow gun: B opens the gun and shows one pouch for each kind of ammo you carry, side by side (grey, yellow, red and green circles on top for the launcher; arrows and explosive arrows for the bow gun). Take a round and put it in. Endless ammo stays endless. Flick the controller up, push the barrel up with the left hand, or press B again to shut it.
• Put the pouches where you like: VR settings, HOLSTERS: Adjust holster (grab it with the left grip and drag, A keeps it), one place for guns with one kind of ammo and one for the launcher and the bow gun, separately for Standing and Seated. Restore holsters puts them back.

Weapon wheel, Quest and PC

• Hold the right stick click, move the right hand up, right, down or left over a weapon and let go: it is in your hand.

Picture and comfort, Quest and PC

• Anti-aliasing and Super Resolution options (VR settings; on the Quest also in the launcher), a Seated position for playing in a chair, and a Show frame rate option that starts off.

Textures, Quest and PC

• Texture packs (.pack) are read as the game needs them and show at once, like the game's own, with no switch from a plain texture. Loose texture files are still read in the background.

Fixes, Quest and PC

• After a door or stairs you come out facing into the room, not with your back to it.
• Endless ammo no longer runs out when you load it from the pouch.

Version

• Quest: app version 1.5.0 (version code 150). The launcher's update check and the PC's both look at this release.

For testing

• A few options for tuning (rotate holster, ammo guide, learn recoil) stay hidden until the developer code: left grip twice, then X, Y, X. The frame-rate readouts and the VR debug log start off.

How to play

PC

1. Unpack the zip anywhere.
2. Start your OpenXR runtime (e.g. Virtual Desktop).
3. Run recvx_vr.exe, pick your .iso on the first start, then press PLAY.

Meta Quest

1. Turn on developer mode and install the .apk with SideQuest. It updates over 1.4.3 and keeps your settings and saves.
2. Open it from Library > Unknown Sources. The first time, allow access to all files (it is only used to read your disc image and the optional textures).
3. In the launcher: Disc > pick your .iso, then Play. Resolution 2x to 4x in Settings (2x on a Quest 2, 3x on a Quest 3).

HD textures (optional)

• Texture pack as a single .pack file: download – no unpacking. On the Quest: the folder you choose in the launcher's Textures tab.

Controls

Reload: B takes the magazine out → take ammo from the pouch at your belt with the left grip → put it in the gun, where the faint orange outline blinks. A pistol that ran empty stays open: after the magazine, pull the slide back with the left hand.

Known issues

• Meta Quest 2 is the only headset tested. Quest 3 and 3S are declared as supported and run 32-bit apps, but have not been tested. If the app does not start on yours, take a screenshot of the panel it shows, or send Android/data/org.recvx.vr/files/recvx.log (and adb logcat -d if you can).
• Battle Game: an error can happen when choosing the character. Not fixed yet.
• Small stutters can happen, mostly when entering a room with HD textures, and in some heavy rooms.
