18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker VR

Overview

18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker VR by f1nal-b0ss brings Sega AM2's 2001 Dreamcast arcade trucker 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker to Meta Quest as a standalone 6DoF VR game. The developer reverse-engineered the USA disc's SH-4 executable and extended the Flycast OpenXR reprojection engine from hotd2-vr (mikermak), built on Flycast. You sit inside the 3D big-rig cab with motion controls, an air-horn gesture and haptic feedback.

Install type: APK + your own game files.

Highlights:

• 6DoF stereo truck cab: a planar-depth cab shader keeps the dashboard, working gauges, sunglasses, magazine and windshield pillars flat and distortion-free as you look around.
• Air-horn gesture: raise your left hand to visor level (or press Y) to blast the horn.
• Two steering modes: thumbstick, or hold both grips to grab a 6DoF virtual steering wheel.
• Haptics: diesel idle and throttle rumble, brake shudder, a gear-shift clunk, and crash jolts.
• Arcade CRT color pass at a locked 60/72 FPS, plus live screen-distance and world-scale adjustment.

[!IMPORTANT] No game files are included. The APK contains no Sega ROM data, binaries or game assets. You need your own dump of 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker (USA) (MK-51064), as .gdi + .bin tracks or .chd. Fan project, not affiliated with SEGA or Meta.

[!NOTE] Beta. v0.1.0 (October 22, 2026) is the first release. The README lists Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3 and Quest 3S.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Install the APK

Download 18wheeler-vr.apk via 1-click on QuestPorts or from GitHub Releases. Install it with SideQuest or ADB, then grant storage access:

adb install -r 18wheeler-vr.apk
adb shell appops set com.flycast.emulator.wheeler18 MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow

2. Copy your game disc

Copy your .gdi + .bin tracks (or .chd) into /sdcard/Download/18Wheeler/:

adb push 18wheeler/ /sdcard/Download/18Wheeler/

You can also use SideQuest's file manager, or plug the headset into a PC, allow access in the headset, and open Quest > Internal shared storage > Download. If your dump has both a .cue and a .gdi, copy only the .gdi and the .bin tracks so the high-density GD-ROM area boots properly.

3. Launch in VR

Open Library > Unknown Sources > 18 Wheeler VR. If asked on first launch, grant All files access so the app can read the folder.
