The 2025 Guide to Quest Piracy - Standalone

This guide will help you download and install pirated games and apps on the Quest 1, 2, 3, 3s, and Pro headsets. This is NOT a guide for Pico headsets. If you need help with a Pico you should head to r/PicoPiracy.

There are a lot of words here. That's because if you want to do this and have it actually work you need to follow instructions exactly. It's important to read everything and do all the setup steps and in the right order. Reading and understanding it all is the hardest part, once you know the process the actual setup can be done in around 15 minutes.

It's very worth your time to go through ALL of this, because when you're done, you'll have access to thousands of VR games and apps, all safe, tested, and working, through high-speed direct download. Hell, the games even get installed on your headset for you. All you do is dou

This is one of many forks that will soon popup in support of the right to emulate games. And to support the creator of Yuzu.

There are many out there already, but this one seem to be gaining traction (likely due to the name being ironic)

Fuck Nintendo, pirate everything they got you want, just cover your ass with vpns, proxies, tor, and IP2.

Show big corporations that open source code isnt something we will give up without a fight.

Altho this isnt terrible news, it isnt good. Key notes to understand here:

• a dev must actually implement this into thier games.

• this will likely cost devs to have access too.

• this will make offline games require internet to authorize. Essentially making the quest devices much like XboxOne and PS4, an online only device. (Which I question the legality of, but I am not a lawyer)

Hopefully these things will work in our favor until an exploit can be found. Read more about it here:

My recommendation is to block firmware updates. Check the sub here to find out how to do that. I personally wouldnt upgrade past firmware v55.

V56 have reports of notifications of unauthorized apps. Not sure if it means anything yet, but the choice is yours.

This is a simple guide to help users disable the Auto Firmware Updates on there Meta Quest 2 devices. (This method may work on other Quest devices, however I do not know for sure.)

========

Method 1

This method is for firmware BEFORE v51.

• Use the following link (base64) to download the Quest 2 Auto Update Toggler:

• Once downloaded extract somewhere onto your pc.

• Plug in your quest device to the pc and make sure to press "allow" in your headset

• Open the extracted folder and double click whatever bat file you wish to use. (Enable - Disable)

Done.

This method should work on new firmwares, HOWEVER, will have to be done everytime the headset is turned off.

========

Method 2

This method should work on ALL firmwares.

• Download the Amaze apk here

• Install Amaze onto your headset an

This is just a quick post to help anyone who may be having this issue. The recent update to the quest 2 has caused the UI to take on a new look, confusing many as to where Unknown Sources went.

To make it easy, now you must select the top search bar, then you should have an option to select unknown sources app list.

If you have anything to add please feel free in the comments.

I am not the OP of this post:

An easy and quick setup for emulating Nintendo Switch games on PC (on Windows and Linux systems). Keep in mind that accurate Switch emulation requires a fairly good CPU. I also recommend using an adblocker for this guide.

Setup Yuzu Emulator

1. Install Yuzu Emulator

2. Install the Keys

• Download the .key files here: KEYS
• Open your Yuzu installation folder and move the two .key files to /Yuzu/Keys

3. Setup your games folder

• Create a folder for your Switch games
• Open Yuzu Emulator, double click to add a games folder and select the folder you created.

4. Setup input emulation

• Open Yuzu>Emulation>Configure>Controls
• Select your preferred input device, the emulated controller, and assign a key to each button on the emulated controller, then press save.

The original /r/piracy was purposefully gimped because Reddit received DMCAs for any random thing and didn't even bother to follow up. Since we're in new waters, I want things to be a bit more relaxed, but there's a limit on how relaxed we can be, without starting to get lawsuits, which I will not be able to fight off. I also host other communities and interests which might cause me headaches.

Remember, this is a hobby project (and none of you scurvy dogs are donating) :D

So here are some piracy-related ground rules for he whole of lemmy.dbzer0.com as of today

1. No direct links. This means anything which would make Nintendo or Disney light my ass on fire. I am not going to ban you for it (unless you start doing this on purpose), but I will ask admins and mods to remove them.
2. You can link to websites pages related to piracy. Linking to websites linking to your con

This guide will show you how to download and sideload pirated games on the Oculus Quest, Meta Quest 2 and Quest Pro.

This is NOT a guide for Pico headsets.

Please read EVERYTHING as to not mess up the process or miss an important bit of know-how. This may seem wordy, but it's necessary to know this stuff. Everything on this guide is and will always be working and up to date. Do not be deceived by the date it was posted.

===== [PRE-GUIDE INFO] =====

- WILL I BE BANNED/BRICKED FOR PIRATING GAMES?

No.

None of this will get you banned from using Meta devices and none of this will brick (?) your headset

As of this revision of the guide not a single person has been banned or punished in any way for piracy on the Quest 1, 2 or Quest Pro. You're safe to pirate as much as you want, all while connected to wifi, and all

Please be sure to read all the rules and follow them.

‼️ FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN A BAN. ‼️
This is not Reddit.

1. No links to illegal content

No links to illegal content No links to pirated material/content

2. Redundant question

These include (but are not limited to): When or Can X game be cracked?, Where can I find X game?, How do I get started?, Will I get banned?. When will X game get added to my favorite sideloader (including "wondering" posts that try to skirt this rule). This also includes Common questions which can be easily Googled or searched in the subreddit.

3. Off-topic posts and discussion

Submissions must be related to the discussion of Quest Piracy.

4. Requests

Do not make a post "When will X game be added to Rookies/Loader" or "Where can I find X game?" - this community is for support and discussion. You can find sites and tools of pirated games in the stickied post & Wiki.

Posts in any style of looking for a game, or
