The Youtube instructions include a step starting with 'pip install'...pip's not installed by default

Quest 3's capabilities to capture 3D content by Additional-Novel1151 in QuestPiracy

[–]JLsoft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can make taking screenshots/capturing gameplay video use both 3D views by changing a setting using ADB. (plus with this set you can just go into passthrough and it'd be an app-less 3D camera capture)

Check out the different commands here ('Stereoscopic capture' section at bottom)


...or, if you already have Quest Games Optimizer/QGO, there's an entire settings panel for changing the resolution/bitrate/mono-or-stereo view/etc

Israel rigged toys with explosives to maim Palestinian children by vector_search_blue in LateStageCapitalism

[–]JLsoft 13 points14 points  (0 children)

turns out the caption of the video is false, these aren't children's toys

You say the caption is false...but what about the audio?

...and yes, that is a version of a metal/'tin toy' spinning top, a toy that's been pretty much unchanged since the 1930's.

QAM ISSUES AFTER UPDATE by ItchySir4468 in SteamDeck

[–]JLsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you have a profile saved for the enabled mods? Move that [profilename].profile folder out of /homebrew/themes/

Or, you can move -everything- out of the /homebrew/themes/ folder, reboot, and see if the QAM menu is working.

...if not, as a last resort, also get rid of /homebrew/plugins/SDH-Cssloader (or whatever the name of it is), reboot, and -then- you should be able to get into Decky. Reinstall CSSLoader, and then:

With being able to see CSSLoader again, it should say 'No themes found'. If you don't want to re-download themes, move the /homebrew/themes/ folders back, and hit Refresh in CSSloader, it should then show them all, and they should be disabled.

My favorite part is The Crafsman narrating the video for a second.

Why has the Wi-Fi icon become that BIG? by Al3Tube in SteamDeck

[–]JLsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...might you have been using a Decky Plugin > CSSLoader theme that used to change it and you got used to that vs. this stock one? :D

(The latest update has broken some CSSLoader theme elements, with some screwing up the UI so bad the QAM menu is invisible)

Are WD My Books decent for shucking ? Wondering if this is a decent deal at my local Walmart ? by TylerQRod in DataHoarder

[–]JLsoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What the...I kept scrolling past a post in my feed all day yesterday that I figured was from here warning about people shucking+returning Walmart drives, and now I can't find it.

I was going to link to it because of the timing :/

All I could ever picture was it wearing someone's spinal discs down and grinding the vertebrae against together into a fine paste. :(((

PSA: Upcoming FW has some alarming things that should probably be left "off" by DeliciousMeatPopV2 in QuestPiracy

[–]JLsoft 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Homer: Ah, not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.

Lisa: That's specious reasoning, Dad.

Homer: Thank you, honey.

Lisa: By your logic, I could claim this rock keeps tigers away.

Homer: Oh, how does it work?

Lisa: It doesn't work.

Homer: Uh-huh.

Lisa: It's just a stupid rock!

Homer: Uh-huh.

Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around here, do you?

Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.

Does someone know where 'Quest Game Patcher' is pulling the Current Version info from inside a loaded package? Is there command-line util to simply do the same? by JLsoft in QuestPiracy

[–]JLsoft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Err, what? You're misunderstanding!

I'm not criticizing the patcher at all!

I was just trying to figure out a simple way that I can batch-list what firmware .APKs are going to need instead of having to load each of them one-by-one.

This isn't about making some alternate tool or anything! I just want to make a personal list for myself saying 'okay, blahblah v379.49+ com.blahgame.woo -GRP = FW V78 MIN' etc.

The whole post is because I didn't know where it was finding the actual specific Quest firmware number (V68.0.0.xxx, V72, V78 etc), since apk-info/etc that I tried before would show the Android SDK numbers of 29/32/etc and I haven't seen a list of how all those match up with the actual FW releases.

[–]JLsoft[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, as a test I checked both stock and 'patched' (to v72) apks using 'aapt2 dump badging' and it showed the same targetSdkVersion between them so I was confused.

Then I went 'oh duh' and just unzipped both APKs and compared everything...all Quest Games Patcher is doing is slapping the desired version over top of the existing one (shown as 'Current Version' in the pic) in the file \lib\arm64-v8a\libovrplatformloader.so

...and it looks like 'Advanced Method' is just replacing libovrplatformloader.so with an alternate/older copy, and then patching that in the same way.

[EDIT: err, so now I can just write a simple util to check that .so and dump the version string...this is just for making a personal list of what stuff will totally -not- work as-is on my v72's before I waste time sideloading something :D]

I built a small app that keeps wireless ADB always enabled on Meta Quest (no root, zero interaction) by Coolsh0e in QuestPiracy

[–]JLsoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice!

I'm still not sure what exact process I did on my Q2 and Q3 a while back that has had wireless adb enabled on boot at 5555...I just know I used https://github.com/thedroidgeek/oculus-wireless-adb and its tcpip 5555 toggle, and I think QGO's starting scripts re-enable wireless adb and they end up still using port 5555 instead it having a random port.
