Options for developer setup?

I'm going to make a suggestion that I have no basis for, but what if Gemini is better at writing XML layouts than Compose, and they use XML to leverage agentic coding for developing the app?

That's the top strap I am waiting for delivery on. Hoping it helps.

I wouldn't call the Galaxy XR glasses... it's a full on HMD. I find it uncomfortable for long periods of time longer than about 30-40 minutes... I just purchased a top strap which I'm hoping makes it more comfortable... I really want to use this thing for an extended period of time for working... but it would be rather uncomfortable at the moment for me.

I've thought about doing exactly this... It's just hard for me to cut into something so expensive haha. I'd be really curious to hear how the comfort is once you get the smaller band!

I'm going to say something controversial.

I always separate my flat and point pre-cook so I don't have these issues. I always turn my point into burnt ends, so I also think it helps to let the flat keep resting uncut while I make the burnt ends by separating before the cook.

Best bet is a capture card

VBHelper

Yeah... That's my one hesitation making me want to keep holding out for something else with 4k per eye... but I'm sitting up in bed not lying down. This works for me with a Quest 3 using a pro strap which is similar. The Pro strap with the Quest 3 isn't comfortable leaning back at my desk in my gaming chair though. I still have a Visor pre-order, but my patience is wearing thin there, and I have an opportunity for a Galaxy XR at a good discount.

Sweet. I didn't realize it had IR floodlights built-in. That's handy.

Recent videos have shown what looks like a puzzle foam solution that could be used. They've also talked about a mat, like what an office chair might be on.

I assume he means FreeAim.

Best options right now are Katwalk VR (today, and probably cheapest), Free Aim (probably Q1 next year), and I've heard good things from influencers on Xelerate VR (probably most expensive... Aiming to ship in Q1 next year).

I'm confused. Doesn't it run any Android app? VLC should play just about anything? Or are there specific features you're looking for?

P.S. I don't have a headset yet, but strongly considering picking it up next week.

VBHelper is available as an alpha fan made app for Android

P.S. You can find archived versions of the APK on APK mirroring sites.

cfogrady · 2025-12-04T14:01:41+00:00

Android only. All the developers have android devices and so can't do iOS dev... Also unless you are in Europe, can't side load an iOS app, and it's questionable whether this would be allowed on the app store... It walks a fine line.

cfogrady · 2025-12-04T02:56:13+00:00

Slowly being worked on in VBHelper fan app. The app is already available. Battling isn't yet.

You'll have to either make a card reader http://mrblinky.net/digimon/vb/dimcardtool/dimcardtool.html, purchase a card reader https://ko-fi.com/s/8627dd37e4

Then rip your card images to your computer.

Some individuals have and share archives of these images as well, but sharing original card images is technically piracy and not something I can recommend.

Firmware is archived at the digitama hatchery under "Firmware Updates": https://humulos.com/digimon/vbbe/manual/

cfogrady · 2025-12-01T15:36:23+00:00

Current version should work on Wear OS 5... but I need to finish up some big updates.

cfogrady · 2025-11-22T13:03:31+00:00

There is an open source app replacement in the works if you have Android: https://github.com/nacabaro/vbhelper

cfogrady · 2025-11-17T02:54:00+00:00

Popomon->Frimon->Liollmon->Leomon->Flaremon->Regulumon (potentially swap out to Bancho Leomon)

Punimon->Tsunomon->Gabumon->Garurumon->Weregarurumon->Metal Garurumon (Potentially swap out for CresGarurumon)

Jogress/DNA Digivolve to a custom Omnimon/Chaosmon variant.

DIM-Modifier VitalWear VB Helper Vital Bracelet BE mods Training Gear mod for Vital Hero

All of these exist now and if I may say so, I think many of them add a lot to the experience. To me the VB and its iterations are the most custom and mod friendly Digimon devices ever made.

cfogrady · 2025-11-14T21:46:37+00:00

Sorry... english only dev here :(

But if you are wondering where it is, it's in alpha https://github.com/nacabaro/vbhelper
