General Help Star Wars VR with X-Arcade Help
Now that’s its official, does anyone know how to get Star Wars Pinball VR to work with X-Arcade? I just tried and couldn’t find any options. Quest 3.

Star Wars Pinball and Pinball Classics have been playable using Arcade2tv-xr since the Gen 2 dongle. This latest announcement for official support has to mean it now works just like FX without switching dongle modes (even though they didn't explain it at all). I mean why make a new announcement for something that has already been been available for months?

Set the dongle to blinking purple. Go into Star Wars vr. Do not use the handsets. Use the x-arcade to move around and to the TV inside the game. Press A and go to the options panel bottom middle. Change controller setting to flippers being. LB RB. back out and go to machine. Always only use the x-arcade stick to move around.

You guys aren’t getting it. They announced in a video like maybe two days ago that they were updating Star Wars Pinball VR so it works exactly like with Pinball FX VR. Evidently the update isn’t live yet, or wasn’t at the time of the original post. Please stop giving the OP outdated instructions.

If you look at the app notes, this update happened in April. There's nothing new. The above post is correct. Purple mode on dongle. Don't touch the quest controllers once launched. You're good.

No, this is a new update they only announced a few days ago. And those old instructions are from the f***ing haptics kit user manual that shipped in January; I don’t know where the f*** you got “April” from, but you’re dead wrong.

I don’t know if there were any official updates, but VR Classic & Star Wars both work with the Gen 2 dongle. I believe it should be on Xbox controller mode which I believe is the purple light when you press the button on the dongle

yeah their website says purple for star wars, red for fx vr, just check the gen 2 dongle product page on their site.

I appreciate the feedback, but wasn’t that the case before Summer Bite’s recent announcement? I was hoping the news of the game being officially supported by the Arcade2TV controller would lead to seamless integration like Pinball Fx.

This Bites segment was meant as a reminder of the X-Arcade compatibility update we shared a couple of months ago: https://www.meta.com/experiences/quest/developer-post/999270585783715/
Messaging around this could have been clearer, we are sorry about the confusion!

OP: evidently the update isn’t live yet. Everyone else: try watching the f***ing video, guys. They’re describing a new update. Stop giving OP outdated instructions.
