Pull up a chair in your own 80s/90s bedroom. The CRT glows and the tools are waiting. RetroGameDev VR is a standalone Meta Quest app - half time machine, half hands-on workshop: learn how retro hardware works, create your own games, and export to real machines.
Learn
Built-in lessons open up the graphics, sound, and inner workings of real retro hardware.
Create and Remix
Start from a template game and make it your own. Use the built-in editors to redraw sprites, repaint palettes, design backgrounds, and compose sounds and music.
Play Your Creations
Run them on any of the bedroom's three displays - the desk monitor up close, the big-screen TV across the room, or the handheld you pick up and hold.
Mixed Reality
Flip to Mixed Reality and the bedroom drops to passthrough. Play on either TV model or the handheld, flatten or curve the screen, resize, and dim behind.
Export to Real Hardware
This is where it leaves the app behind. Turn your creation into a working cartridge that boots on genuine retro machines - real hardware, not emulation.
Also Included
Grab a light gun and take aim. A 3D gun model appears in your hand for point-and-shoot support across a range of retro systems, just like the arcade. Watch your own video files on the bedroom screens in glorious retro style.
Emulator Cores
Free cores for multiple systems can be downloaded in-app (online needed once). No cores or games are bundled. You create or load your own game files, and you're responsible for having the right to use them.

This is the best and easiest standalone emulator iv found 🤯 I'm not a Tech guy and Even I can do this, the Developer has made it super easy to put games and videos on here. And for that I'd like to say thank you, I've been wanting something just like this for a long time, there's just something about playing Retro games in v r and watching TV 📺, Noeselgic overload can't be helped👍

I use EmuVR on PC a lot and someone on their server brought this game up in one of the chats so I had to check it out; glad I did. Not only can you play your retro games in VR but the real difference with this and similar apps is that its designed to teach you about the consoles and how they work and I really think the idea of making your own basic retro games to run on these systems in VR is a cool idea. I'll be very interested to see how this develops, but so far; its worth supporting 100%.

This is the easiest way to play your Retro Game on the Quest 3 right now. With a beautiful interface you image your in your bedroom with a CRT monitor or sat on the bed with a gameboy. Easy to transfer roms. Simple to play and pick up with the touch controllers. Brings so many memories back. If its Nintendo, Sony or Sega this has it all and even C64. I have a Full setup guide and review over on my YT channel. This is a must buy.

Very well made. This was very much needed. Playing with a C64 with your Quest controllers feels amazingly smooth and cool. Even better than on a flat screen. Also being able to dig inside the machine and learn retrocumputing it´s so cool. This is the first app to bring a C64 into VR. Awesome.

There was once this game that only pcvr people could play called EmuVR and it’s still up to this day but if you don’t feel like getting a pc or you just don’t want to be on your pc in that moment this game is for you. I’ve joined the discord and the staff is amazing. They’re all talking about adding more consoles and fixes to the game. One of the consoles being my favorite which is the Nintendo 64. You can also emulate games from websites which I find amazing. The consoles are gameboy, gameboy advanced, game boy color, and waaaay more. 10/10 must buy!
