Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Install on Quest, in the card above, is the one-click USB install. These steps are the manual path (SideQuest or ADB).

Prerequisites

  • Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S, or Pro with Developer Mode enabled.
  • Original Metroid Prime (NTSC-U Revision 0 / v1.0) GameCube disc backup. PrimedGun’s file list accepts .iso (including .nkit.iso), .gcm, .ciso, .gcz, .rvz, .wia, .wbfs, .tgc, and .nfs.
  • SideQuest or Android ADB (platform-tools).

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Download the Quest APK (primedgun-quest-release.apk) from the Quest release v1.1.7. The newer Windows tag is not a Quest APK.
  2. Connect your Meta Quest via USB and install the APK via SideQuest or terminal: adb install -r primedgun-quest-release.apk
  3. Transfer your Metroid Prime (USA) (Rev 0).iso backup into /sdcard/PrimedGun/ (or any accessible folder on your headset storage).
  4. Put on your Quest, go to App Library → Unknown Sources, and launch PrimedGun.
  5. Use the in-headset launcher to select your ISO file and tap Play.
  6. Note: Initial shader compilation takes 2-3 minutes on the first launch. Wait for the progress indicator inside VR to complete.

Controls & Calibration

  • Right Controller / Trigger: Aim and shoot 1:1 tracked Arm Cannon; Right Grip fires Missiles.
  • Right Stick Click: Recenter and calibrate your player height / floor level.
  • Left Controller: Smooth locomotion with thumbstick; Left Stick Click opens the in-VR settings menu.
  • Visors & Beams: Switch visors and beam weapons naturally using controller gestures or weapon wheel.
  • Pro Tip: When exiting, press Exit Game in the VR menu twice to ensure compiled shaders are safely cached to disk for instant subsequent loads!
Troubleshooting & Tips

Requires Metroid Prime USA NTSC-U v1.0 (Rev 0). European PAL or Japanese editions are not officially supported. Standalone performance shines at 90 Hz on Quest 3 / 3S with Vulkan multiview rendering.
