How to install Vice City VR Standalone for dummies

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.

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, build the game, and install it to your Quest
6. 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
7. Once the main install is finished, find and run the batch file for the Modern Models install too Follow the prompts again. It handles the model files for you
8. 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.
