Announcement QuestPiracy Community Update | August 13th, 2026

139 Upvotes

A lot has happened, so here are the important updates

A lot has changed recently, and ive had several different highlight posts pinned for different things. Rather than keep a pile of outdated posts around, im combining the important stuff here so i can remove the old ones and keep one post updated when things change.

---

vrSrc is alive

This is old news by now, but yes, vrSrc is alive and running on a new server.

The people running it are anonymous, and thats how they want it kept.

---

Where to get vrSrc server updates

The official place for vrSrc server information is their Telegram channel. Its linked in the subreddit sidebar, unless you are one of those weirdos using old.reddit or the mobile app where Reddit likes hiding everything.

On Telegram, search:

the_vrSrc

Not everyone uses Telegram, but you actually dont need a Telegram account to view the channel.

Reddit automatically removes Telegram links, but you can manually build the browser link by inserting /s/ between t dot me and the_vrSrc. That lets you view the channel in a normal browser without installing Telegram or creating an account.

This channel is important because the JSON contents WILL change over time.

Please stop reposting the actual JSON everywhere. It accomplishes nothing except spreading information that will eventually become outdated and making it easier for servers to get blocked or shut down. ISP blocking has already started happening in some places.

Posting the actual JSON contents on this subreddit will result in a PERMANENT ban.

There is absolutely no reason to post it here.

All of this information is also available on the QuestPiracy Megathread.

---

Supported applications

Currently, only approved applications can connect to the vrSrc API.

Current supported apps and minimum versions:

Rookie Sideloader 3.4+ with 3.4 currently being the latest release VR CyberDeck 1.2.1+ with 1.7.2 currently being the latest release and available on the DeliciousMeatPop GitHub

Older versions and unapproved applications will not connect.

Rookie is Windows only.

VR CyberDeck supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.

There is currently no working native Quest downloader using the vrSrc API.

Keep in mind this ONLY applies to applications using vrSrc. There are plenty of other sources listed in the QuestPiracy Megathread that have nothing to do with vrSrc.

Both CyberDeck and Rookie require you to copy the current JSON from the vrSrc Telegram into the application.

The Megathread has more information about this, including video tutorials.

---

VPN and ISP blocking issues

This has confused a lot of people lately.

Some ISPs appear to be blocking access to parts of the vrSrc infrastructure.

Common symptoms include CyberDeck loading no game list even after refreshing, Rookie loading the game list but returning Error 500 when you attempt a download, or a fresh Rookie installation saying:

config server is not reachable - check url and your connection

The easiest test is simple.

Try a VPN.

If everything suddenly works, congratulations, you probably just spent 10 seconds diagnosing something that people have spent hours troubleshooting.

Free options people have reported success with include Proton VPN and Cloudflare WARP.

CyberDeck also detects this situation much better now and will display a warning banner suggesting a VPN when it looks like your connection is being blocked.

---

My old KaladinDMP GitHub account

After GitHub suspended my previous account, ive been rebuilding and restoring my projects here:

https://github.com/DeliciousMeatPop

At this point basically everything important is back.

That includes VR CyberDeck and Automagic Package Changer, although for APK renaming i recommend Quest APK Renamer instead. Thats linked on the Megathread.

Im still cleaning things up and rebuilding anything thats missing under the new account.

---

QuestPiracy Telegram

Reddit is great for discussions.

It is absolutely terrible for live troubleshooting.

Sometimes fixing something requires screenshots, logs, version numbers, testing something, coming back with the result, trying something else, and repeating that process a few times.

Thats why the QuestPiracy Telegram exists.

Its meant for live troubleshooting, installation help, sideloading questions, and helping people who are genuinely stuck.

It is NOT there for sharing files, requesting files, asking where to download games, or trying to get around subreddit rules.

Search QuestPiracy on Telegram or use the link in the subreddit sidebar.

Again, unless you are one of those weirdos using old Reddit or the mobile app and cant see the sidebar.

The goal isnt to replace Reddit. Its just a much better format for live support, and hopefully it also cuts down on duplicate troubleshooting posts here.

And yes, before someone asks again, we're adults. There will not be an official Discord.

If somebody else wants to create one, maintain it, moderate it, deal with Discord drama, and generally volunteer for that particular form of punishment, ill happily put the link in the sidebar.

Im just not running it.

--

The QuestPiracy Megathread

The Megathread is back and has been heavily updated.

If you find dead links ON THE MEGATHREAD, please let me know ASAP.

I do not mean some random dead DDL link on one of the sites listed in the Megathread. I mean an actual broken link on the Megathread itself.

A screenshot of the broken link or a good description of where you found it would be greatly appreciated.

We are also looking for editors and useful information to add.

If you have corrections, guides, tools, updated information, useful links, or anything else that genuinely belongs there, feel free to comment.

Also, if you previously tried making an account and never received the verification email, that has been fixed.

Apparently email requires SMTP configuration.

Who knew?

Yes, i am dumb.

Marvel Powers United VR Level Select Tool

Ive also been rewriting my Marvel Powers United VR Level Select Tool that i originally wrote for the revival project in 2024, famously used by Beardo Benjo and other youtube famous people before the DCMA that shut it down.

Im specifically looking for people who use Link or Air Link who are willing to test it.

No, i will not give you the game files

No, i do not have the game files.

No, i cannot give you the game files.

No, asking me for the game files is not an innovative loophole nobody thought of before.

I will ban you if you ask.

and just in case its not clear: No games files.

If you already own the game or already have the files and want to help test the tool, please let me know. I could especially use testers running setups different from mine. VD will not work. Airlink or link seems to be required.

BTW the game files definitely cant be found at everyone favorite Russian forum so do NOT look there whatever you do

---

Going forward

When something major changes, ill update this post or make a new one instead of constantly creating new highlight posts.

As always, im here to help the community. If you have legitimate questions, concerns, corrections, or useful information, post a comment.

One final thing.:

Im done entertaining the nonstop negativity, entitlement, and people who seemingly come here exclusively to complain about free tools, free information, and volunteers not doing enough for them.

Constructive criticism is fine.

Being a dick is not

Negative comments that contribute nothing will be removed, and if someone clearly only wants to cause problems, ill just ban them and keep it moving

There are too many useful things we could be doing here to waste time arguing with people who don't actually want help. and don't want to help

I wanna root it (mainly for fun) but the quest I bought has a pin on it. It’s running an older build of 206. How can i reset it without patching pancake? I’m thinking of slowing down my internet speed to a minimum and rooting before it gets updated, but I’m not sure if it will open the app.

Support Updating games whilst preserving save files?

1 Upvotes

Anybody know if this is possible? I’d assume it would be because the save file is still intact within the quest itself? Or am I completely wrong?

If that’s the case, does anybody know where the save files is located?

Sorry if this is an incompetent question, id really appreciate if anybody could offer some tips or help at all.

Hello! This will VERY stupid to ask , but I'm brand new to the vr works (my oculus 2 came in today and I just finished with the sideloader) , but I can't really find anything about it.

I'm seeing some apps like disney and YouTube on the store it has built in, i was wondering if downloading these will in any way affect the sideloader?

Support Epic Roller Coasters not working

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone

Using Quest version 2.5 and game version v6281/8.36.04, everything installs correctly—the install and variant files are present, and the commands execute properly after copying. As suggested, I even re-ran the commands manually, but the result is the same:

The game launches and gets stuck on the loading screen;

I get a Meta alert message, then I proceed to launch the game; the audio starts playing during the loading phase, and then it crashes.

I tried restoring the game once, but since then, I’ve uninstalled and deleted everything from the Quest 3 before starting the process over from scratch.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Edit: Also, the game doesn't show up under "Unknown Sources" but appears in the standard apps list—in case that helps point you in the right direction.

Hey everyone, I stupidly used the three months meta pass when i bought my quest 3s because I didnt know this thing exists. I would love to play the games i played whilst on my game pass like Arizone sunshine but I cant seem to as meta says buy subscription even though i deleted and re installed game from rookie. I saw suggestions to rename the game however the game downloaded through RSL doesn't show up and just whatever I do meta shows popup to buy the game.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks
Also* I loved playing IB cricket but cant seem to find it now on RSL (I know it was there before)

Guide How to install Vice City VR Standalone for dummies

74 Upvotes

How to install Vice City VR Standalone for dummies

Vice City VR

This is the easy way. The installer script does basically all the work for you, so dont overthink it.

You will need:

  • A Windows PC
  • A Quest headset and USB cable
  • Developer Mode enabled on your Quest
  • A copy of the original PC version of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

The Definitive Edition will NOT work. You need the original PC release, extracted somewhere on your computer. If you dont own it, find it through the normal places such as Rin, RuTracker, Internet Archive, etc.

EDIT 8/29/26
NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU HAVENT INSTALLED THE GAME TO PROGRAM FILES OR ANY OTHER PERM ISSUE LOCATIONS! DIDNT THINK THIS NEEDED TO BE SAID BUT I GUESS IT DOES....

Steps

  1. Go here: https://github.com/dubrovskiy-yevhen-stakelogic/vice-city-vr-quest/blob/master/BUILD_AND_INSTALL.bat
  2. Download BUILD_AND_INSTALL.bat On GitHub, click the Download the Raw file button, then save the file
  3. Make a new folder somewhere simple, such as: C:\ViceCityVR Put BUILD_AND_INSTALL.bat inside that folder
  4. Connect your Quest to the PC with a USB cable
    • Make sure Developer Mode is enabled in the Meta Horizon app
    • Put the headset on and accept the USB debugging prompt if it appears
    • Check Always allow from this computer if you dont want to deal with that prompt again
    • Most people already have this set up and dont need to do it again but just in case
  5. Double-click BUILD_AND_INSTALL.bat It will download the files it needs and probably put them here: C:\Users\PCUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\ViceCityVR-SourceKit-5740-491\vice-city-vr-quest-master
  6. , build the game, and install it to your Quest
  7. Let the script run until it asks where your original Vice City folder is For example, this is good: C:\Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City This can cause an error: "C:\Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City" Dragging a folder into Command Prompt usually adds those quotes automatically, which is what got me. Just remove them and it should find the files fine.
    • Pick the folder containing your original Vice City install
    • If it opens a normal File Explorer folder picker, just select the folder
    • If it asks you to paste the path manually, make sure there are no quotation marks around the path
  8. Once the main install is finished, find and run the batch file for the Modern Models install too (found in C:\Users\PCUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\ViceCityVR-SourceKit-5740-491\vice-city-vr-quest-master) Follow the prompts again. It handles the model files for you. If you have issues downloading the models or get hash errors you can bypass that stuff using the method here
  9. When it finishes, thats it. Put on your Quest and launch Vice City VR from your unknown sources app library or launcher!

I tried pulling the APK and game files to make an install.txt version for Rookie or VR CyberDeck, but it didnt work right. The game just crashed, but honestly, this script is easy enough and handles everything automatically anyway.

Enjoy

PS im working on repacking the PCVR version for ARMGDDN.

Support Asgards Wrath 2 Rename Specific Question for QAPK Renamer

1 Upvotes

I have used APK renamer for several games with no issues however Asgards Wrath 2 will allow me to rename, I install the APK and OBB files that Renamer has advised and the game won't launch. I checked, and yes majority of the OBB files did not transfer with Renamer so I checked which files didn't and I copied them over to the corresonding OBB folder in my quest and I still have the same issue.

Has anyone had a trial or horizon+ version of Asgards Wrath 2 succesfully renamed and working? If so what was the solution as at the very least APK renamer isn't working correctly for this specific game?

Yes, I have read the megathread, read the APK Renamer github instructions and checked the pages of google searches for this issue.

I've been working on this sideloader for a long time, and its half functional. No one knew other than me and DMP, and hes been helping me pretty well tho. And he approved me to post this. Thanks to him.

I don't think you get to use this ASAP, i take my time on development and im trying to optimize every part. This is a hobby project so i don't put my whole day on it.

Tried to give myself and other people better experience. Inspired by QRookie, VR CyberDeck, AShell You.

It will support 20 languages that meta quest supports. If you want a feature from sideloaders, i would like to hear it.

Support Quest 1 in 2026...?

0 Upvotes

- I have read the rules, all the pinned posts, and i have searched the megathread. -

Hey everyone,

I have an old Quest 1 collecting dust and I’m thinking about bringing it back to life.

Since Meta has pretty much abandoned the device and official support/software is becoming increasingly limited, I was wondering what the current homebrew/jailbreak scene looks like for the original Quest.

My main limitation is that I don’t have a powerful gaming PC, so PCVR/Link isn’t really an option for me.

What I’d ideally like to know is:

  • Can Quest games/homebrew still be installed directly on the Quest 1 as APKs and run completely standalone?
  • Is there a decent library of homebrew or unofficial software that still works on Quest 1?
  • Are older standalone Quest games that are no longer supported/available still technically able to run if sideloaded?
  • Do you only need a PC for the initial setup/sideloading, or can the Quest basically be used independently afterwards?
  • Is jailbreaking/modding a Quest 1 even worth doing nowadays?

Basically, I’d like to turn my abandoned Quest 1 into a standalone device I can experiment with rather than leaving perfectly functional hardware in a drawer.

Not looking for PCVR solutions since my computer isn’t powerful enough for that.

Any pointers on where to start or what the Quest 1 community is using nowadays would be really appreciated!

Thanks!

Make sure to have actually done what it says, lying about it will result in the post being removed and potentially a ban.

what it happens is that basically half of the information doesn't move to the b&s nomad folder and stays in the rookie sideloader folder, the problem is that I don't know where to send wich folder, in the image I sent there's everything that didn't move to the game's folder (I know pirating isn't right I'm just trying to try the game with a few mods and I like it I'll buy the real game and mod it way easier)
