;EmuVR:Based on Unity engine (and uses/requires specific [[RetroArch]] version, [https://www.emuvr.net/wiki/Installation_Guide#Downloads 1.7.5 at the moment]) but it doesn't require VR headset and controller. Step into your customizable virtual bedroom with EmuVR and experience your collection just like in real life: Pick up, open case/box and insert discs, tapes, floppy disks, casettes or cartridges into your chosen system with their artworks (Box covers, CD/DVD covers, cartridge/VHS labels etc)[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RdMTzZhVW811lTHfKmAZvux2Z_tLdwU4PazVHytpLXg/edit#gid=604246325 artworks (Box covers, CD][https://archive.org/DVD covers, cartridgedetails/VHS labels etc)emuvr-ugc]. Connect virtual cables, power on your devices, and enjoy your games, music or movies on a simulated environment. Plug your virtual computer into the simulated display, fire up your handheld, or even feed a virtual coin into an arcade machine or pinball table. Relax with a virtual magazine, book, manual or even box games and card games with your friends thanks to [https://www.emuvr.net/wiki/Netplay netplay] support so you can enjoy your virtual room with other people. Besides all of these, the latest update (v1.0.12) introduces exciting "User Generated Content" (UGC) support, which means you can now create and enjoy custom assets and mods created by the community.[https://www.youtube.com/@TRIKCSTER/search?query=emuvr][https://www.youtube.com/@Mastertronic76/search?query=EmuVR][https://www.youtube.com/@justloaf1188]
:;Limitations;
:*It has [https://www.emuvr.net/wiki/Settings#Screen_Space_Reflections Screen Space Reflections] but Ray Tracing do NOT supported at the moment. You can try "[[Shaders_and_filters#Notable_ReShade_shaders|Screen-Space Ray Traced Global Illumination]]" shader using ReShade if you have a powerful GPU.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otNKBqxOLPE][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snBg45ES-II]
:*Visual achievement notifications are not currently displayed within EmuVR despite RetroAchievements integration via RetroArch. However, achievements are still unlocked and tracked through RetroArch while using EmuVR (according to some user reports it doesn't unlock any achievements). Future development might enable on-screen notifications within EmuVR[https://discord.com/channels/494312532782088203/497454201266372628/1051741181731680306].
:*As mentioned above, due to its reliance on RetroArch, EmuVR's simulated system support is currently limited to the libretro cores. This means that any limitations inherent to these cores (such as limited system support OR hardware feature emulation capabilities compared to standalone versions of those cores) might also be present within EmuVR. Such great example for this is media playback capabilities: while movies/videos supported through retroarch's ffmpeg/ffplay core[https://docs.libretro.com/library/ffmpeg/][https://www.emuvr.net/wiki/Playing_Videos_and_Music], due to [[Wikipedia:Comparison_of_video_player_software#Optical_media_ability|ffplay]]'s limited format support ]] there is no optical disc image or raw disc image support and there is no [[Home_Media_Player#Media_player_software|interactive media content support]] (such as menu support or [[Home_Media_Player#Interactive_media|FMV/interactive movie]] games). Another example for this limitation is libretro's FFmpeg core lack of support for .m3u[https://docs.libretro.com/library/ffmpeg/#extensions], so there is no support for playlists either[https://forums.libretro.com/t/ffmpeg-core-is-it-possible-to-use-a-playlist/20716]. Fortunately, you can bypass these limitations just by using the [[Shader_Presets#WindowCast_for_Libretro|WindowCast libretro core]], though it requires additional setup such as using capture software like OBS, obviously this can be quite complex and require extra effort[https://youtu.be/0sRpflSb4j4?t=673]. Also you can use [[Home_Media_Player#Emulators|some of the libretro cores]] for optical media ability.
:*Check it out [https://discord.com/channels/494312532782088203/1187184049337405521 EmuVR's ugc-share discord channel] for various content/mods and assets created by the community. Please note that UGC support is currently in preview state[https://discord.com/channels/494312532782088203/496731013217779712/1189136501955633172][https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/19de6mf/what_happened_to_emuvr/], you need [https://youtu.be/QFNwTIkXznw WIGU] (which is based on [https://github.com/LavaGang/MelonLoader MelonLoader]) for injecting custom assets to Unity engine-based EmuVR.
:*Keep in mind that there is already a [https://www.emuvr.net/wiki/FAQ#Frequently_Requested_Features frequently requested features page] for EmuVR.
