Is it able to run regular Android apps? I’d imagine the entire graphics API is completely different.

[–] GrayBoltWolf 7 points 8 months ago

The quest already runs android, so in theory all the support is already there for Vulkan and OpenGL since it runs a regular-ish Snapdragon phone SoC.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Yep. Runs regular sideloaded APKs including emulators.

[–] hperrin 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Interesting. How does it display them visually? Is it, like, a floating window?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Pretty much!

Yeah on my Quest 3 I've sideloaded F-Droid, Jerboa, and ScummVM

even without Jerboa, the website itself works well

the Quest's web browser is really good even for Twitch, Youtube, Discord

[–] Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug 3 points 8 months ago

It's Android, yes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is there a way to un-meta the quests headsets ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

That would be really cool so the answer is likely no

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Why would anyone want either of those things?
