About

Portable Emulator is the second iteration on a new type of SteamVR overlay that displays 3D objects and scenes within VR, allowing users to interact with objects on another dimension, on top of their normal VR experience. 

This game requires Retroarch to function, instructions will be provided in video form to make using this app as easy as possible. 

Very rough instructional video here: Portable Emulator Instruction Video - YouTube (I'm not very good at making nice videos but the instructions are all there) 

***NOTE: It is recommended that users have at least a somewhat-capable VR rig, as this is essentially another game to run at the same time.***

Play your favorite retro games while chatting with friends, enjoying the immersive scenery of modern video gaming, or as a quick entertainment piece, Portable Emulator is a great fit for all of these!

Key Features:
  • RAM saving for natural game saves
  • One save state slot for easy use of save-states
  • Control with either a virtual arcade stick, or disable it to control the emulator with your VR controller inputs (inputs can be rebound)
  • Reposition and resize the emulator to any location for maximum convenience, as well as options for fine-tuning comfort
  • Simple interaction with all elements using one configurable grip button
  • Compatible with retro game consoles using Retroarch's "Core" system (List below).
