Time Crisis II VR

Overview

Time Crisis II VR plays the arcade version of Time Crisis II (US TSS3 Ver. B, not the PlayStation 2 version) natively on Meta Quest 3. It is built on the System 23 reconstruction in spacestate1/namco22-decompile (the arcade's MIPS and H8 code translated to C), with the OpenXR host, controller options and weapon rendering adapted from DR-89's Time Crisis VR. The original textured world is rendered from tracked stereo viewpoints.

[!NOTE] v0.2.0 is the first public release and is experimental. Quest 3 gameplay, HUD alignment and machine-gun switching were tested in the headset, but it has not been verified through a complete game. Quest 2/3S are not confirmed. The APK (org.timecrisis2.arcadevr) installs alongside the original Time Crisis VR. A Windows PCVR/desktop build is also on the release page (tested with Quest 3 through Virtual Desktop).

Prerequisites

• Meta Quest 3 with Developer Mode enabled.
• SideQuest or Android ADB (platform-tools).

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Download the Quest APK (TimeCrisis2VR-v0.2.0-quest3.apk) from the official GitHub Releases (checksums in SHA256SUMS.txt).
2. Connect your Quest 3 via USB and install via SideQuest or terminal: adb install -r TimeCrisis2VR-v0.2.0-quest3.apk
3. Launch the game from Unknown Sources → Time Crisis II VR (Test). The release package includes the game files and weapon models, so no separate ZIP import is needed.
4. Wait for the arcade startup, press A (Right Controller) to insert credits, then press either Trigger to start!

Updating an existing test build keeps your settings and cabinet data.

Controls & Cover System

• Either Trigger: Move the gun to that hand and shoot (hold for automatic fire with the machine gun)
• Hold either Grip: Leave cover; release both to duck and reload
• A (Right): Insert arcade credits
• B (Right): Toggle laser (on by default)
• X (Left): Recenter / calibrate upright height
• Left Menu button: Options. In options: Right stick click changes the default hand, Right stick up/down adjusts GUN ANGLE (-60 to +60°), Left stick click resets it, Y switches between grip cover and Physical Ducking
• Physical Ducking: select it in options, stand or sit upright and press X to calibrate, then duck to hide/reload and stand back up to shoot.
• Machine gun: equipped automatically during the arcade's scripted sections (e.g. Stage 1, Area 2); there is no weapon-select button.

With the left hand saved as default, the face buttons swap: X credits, Y laser, A recenter, B cover-mode selection.
