Overview
Star Fox Enhanced is a native C++/SDL3 port of UltraStarFox with Original Star Fox and Star Fox EX experiences, high-frame-rate presentation, widescreen and optional visual enhancements. Release 0.0.8 ships packages for many platforms, including an experimental Quest 3 OpenXR development build.
[!NOTE] Alpha / development VR build. The author states that headset performance and comfort acceptance are still ongoing and that not all PC effects exist on Quest. No ROM is included: you need a supported, unmodified retail cartridge dump (Star Fox JP 1.0/1.1, USA 1.0/1.1/1.2, Starwing EU 1.0/1.1, DE 1.0). The project is openly made with AI assistance (OpenAI Codex).
Prerequisites
- Meta Quest 3 with Developer Mode enabled.
- A supported retail Star Fox / Starwing ROM (
.sfc/.smc). - A Windows PC to build
Starfox-Assets.BINwith the StarFoxAssetBuilder (included in the release), unless your headset shows the in-app file picker. - SideQuest or ADB.
Step-by-Step Installation
1. Download and extract
Download StarFoxEnhanced-0.0.8-quest-arm64.zip via 1-click on QuestPorts or from GitHub Releases and extract it. It contains StarFoxEnhanced-quest-arm64.apk and START-HERE.txt.
2. Build your asset file
On a PC, run StarFoxAssetBuilder-0.0.8-windows-x64.zip from the same release with your own ROM to generate Starfox-Assets.BIN. Do not share your ROM or BIN.
3. Install the APK
adb install -r StarFoxEnhanced-quest-arm64.apk
4. Import the BIN
Launch Star Fox Enhanced from Unknown Sources and import the BIN through the first-launch picker. If the picker does not appear, push it manually and relaunch:
adb push Starfox-Assets.BIN /sdcard/Android/data/com.starfox.enhanced.quest/files/Starfox-Assets.BIN
Controls (Touch, per the VR build notes)
| Action | Button |
|---|---|
| Steer | Left stick |
| Fire / Bomb | A / B |
| Boost / Brake | X / Y |
| L / R (roll) | Left / right trigger |
| Start / pause | Right grip |
| Select / change view | Left grip |
| Runtime options | Both grips |
While paused, controller rays can grab and reposition scene models.
Published 0.0.8 builds use a permanent signing certificate; earlier local/debug APKs may use a different certificate and cannot be upgraded in place. Back up your files before uninstalling, since uninstalling removes app data, and do not uninstall just because launch is slow or an import fails. Only the listed retail revisions are accepted (hacks, betas, Star Fox 2 and unknown revisions are rejected); a 512-byte copier header is fine. The asset BIN may need rebuilding after updates. To reset settings, hold L+R on the pre-game menu. The author reports a delayed (about one minute) VR exit seen by a tester as under investigation. This is an alpha: report bugs on the GitHub issues page.
