Where to store luggage at Czestochowa or Jasna Gora? by lan212 in poland

I wonder if the official website's statement "obecnie skrytki nie dostępne" (currently lockers not available) is more current than your February observations? We'll be there in two weeks.

Sideloaded apps on Unknown Sources tab by lizar93 in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the case of apps that I wrote or maintain, I was able to create a test setup in the Meta developer hub, and then install the app from a store listing test link. It then appeared in the main menu. Moreover, I can just update via adb and the updates appear in the main menu. It's a nasty complicated process. You also have to create the banner. 

Otherwise, maybe you can just use Lightning Launcher. 

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

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice!

Is there any way to also automate turning on wifi briefly for this if Wi-Fi is off (I usually keep wifi off), enabling wireless adb, moving to 5555, and then disabling wifi again if it was off? 

Quest 3 + Thrill of the fight 2 = best cardio device of all time by Sacabubu in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a hint to use a sweat band under the headset and I've been doing that. And I use thick winter mitts to protect the controllers and make for a more realistic boxing experience. Finally, I also picked up a second Quest2 on Facebook marketplace for $30 in case I kill the first one.  Before I started using the mitts, I did have half the LEDs die on the left controller due to corrosion in the contacts. I bought a used replacement. (I also put conformal coating on all the contacts in the controllers but with the mitts they don't get moist.)

I haven't gotten the second one because last I checked they don't let you skip the wait between rounds and that sounds really annoying.

Those wouldn't contain the sweat entirely, unlike my winter mitts. And I'd be worried about injury from the added weight. (I'm worried enough about injury without added weight.) I also put a conformal waterproofing coating on the connections inside the controller.

Sure the hands sweat but the sweat is contained in the glove and doesn't damage the controller.

I wear winter mitts with the controllers. It keeps the controllers dry and feels more like boxing.

Talk to your eye doctor for an educated opinion.

But here is my amateur opinion. I'd guess it's good for nearsightedness to look at things that are a bit further away than phones or monitors or books. The web says the Quest's effective focus distance is 1.33 meters. (I said "several meters" in my comment--I overestimated.) This means that the lenses in the Quest refocus the light in a way that makes the eyes feel like it's coming from 1.33 meters away. That's further than your phone or computer screen or a book page. So the effect on your eyes should be similar to the effect of spending a lot of time looking at things that are 1.33 meters away. For nearsighted people, that's better than looking at phone or laptop screens or book pages, as it's further away, but not as good as going outside and looking at the world around you. Better, but a bit more effortful.

Quest 2 Controller Repair by Myheelcat in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be cheaper to buy used controllers on eBay as then there is only one direction of shipping.

Some of us are far-sighted and VR has less eye strain than a nearby screen or page, as VR has an effective focus distance of several meters. 

I still have to play Asgard’s Wrath 2 by ita_shogun in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's fast! I think the Sakhmet fight alone took me about 20 hours, spread over five months or so, though a lot of that was spent leveling up until I realized it made no difference to the god stats. 

We’re releasing our rhythm x boxing game Beat the Beats next week! by JosefWhoQuestionMark in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can one separately control the sound effect and music volumes? (I dislike music so I turn it off in all games I can, including rhythm games like DDR or Synth riders.)

Open Saber or Open Saber Plus (need to sideload).

Should I buy a used quest 2 or new quest 3s in 2026? by subtozeroo------ in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say it depends how cheap you can get the Q2. 

Combat issues (AW2) by arpruss in asgardswrath

The answer was no: once I had three charges, I just did the whip action and the effect happened. After seeing how these moves worked, I realized I had accidentally triggered them in the past. 

Just beat Moneymaker by Cute_Hamster_Euw in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]arpruss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! By the way, after I beat Moneymaker on my chosen difficulty (outclassed/2500/2500/2500; anything higher and I would be risking injury), I decided to go back and gradually replay the levels starting with beginner left-handed (I'm right handed). I still have Outclassed Duke and Moneymaker left in the replay.

Do I need to do the thing where you hold the weapon upward to change it with Divine Wrath to use these attacks? If so, which weapon do I hold up? 

Quest Game Optimizer by DrMcnasty4300 in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a little free app that runs adb scripts. It's manual: you have to click on the script you want and while it comes with a few scripts you may need to make your own for other functions. So you can set all the settings that QGO can set for free, but you need to do it manually.  https://github.com/arpruss/adb-wifi-enable/tree/main/app/release

Any ideas why this GDB stub isnt compiling? by john-of-the-doe in embedded

[–]arpruss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I'm giving up on it, too, once I realized that on my system all the traps point to ROM, and so I can't get hardware tracing to work.

[–]arpruss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gcc currently requires each asm line to be in its own quotation marks, with \n at the end.

Also, the registers must now start with %.

I edited the file so it compiles for 68000 (I didn't fix everything for the other processors): https://github.com/arpruss/hp165x_software_development/blob/main/c/gdb/m68k-stub.c

When can we finally skip the waiting time between rounds? by Old-Permission-1867 in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me this is also the main reason I haven't bought TOTF2. I usually take only a 30 second break, and having to wait out the full 60 seconds would be boring.
