BetterVR is a flatscreen-to-VR conversion mod for The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, out now and free at github.com/Crementif/BotW-BetterVR. It's had 20 updates since the first trailer, all of which bringing substantial improvement, fixes and polish tweaks to the game, as you'll be able to see in this trailer. And with more updates to come, too (read below!).
But another announcement is that I'm porting BetterVR to Mario Kart 8, with the goal of making this a really cool race kart game adaptation for VR with the same level of quality as my BotW mod. I plan on uploading more clips next week, somewhere.

_This mod requires using Cemu to emulate the Wii U version of Breath Of The Wild on your PC. It requires a legal copy of the game. No game files are supplied by this mod._
*MARIO KART 8 FAQ:*
- *When's it out?* No idea yet, sorry. That partly depends on the next question.
- *MK8 Wii U or MK8 Deluxe?* The trailer shows the Wii U version, since it had a bit more overlap with my existing code. But I'm debating porting to Deluxe now, because switching later means a lot more time spent reworking things.
- *Steering wheel support?* Very likely, I'm just not sure how far it'll go. Haptic feedback seems complicated, at least.
- *Tears of the Kingdom?* Would be fun, but people are already working on VR for it, so a different game made more sense for me right now.
*BUT WHAT ABOUT BOTW BETTERVR 1.0?*
Still very much happening. A few things already in progress, some of which Patrons get to test early pretty soon even:
- Multiplayer support (ported to the new Cemu version, still needs syncing)
- Big performance update reworking all the stereo rendering, which also fixes a couple of important bugs
- Linux support
- Dual wielding (very hard, it turns out)
- ...and more, of course!
*PATREON:* patreon.com/crementif (or GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/Crementif)
Patrons and Sponsors get early access to test builds, can suggest ideas, and get their name in the credits. Free, fully open-source releases still come out roughly every month, same as always.
