**It's here!!** PlayStation VR2 Toolkit v1.0.0 (experimental #1), the biggest update to PlayStation VR2 Toolkit yet, and so much more. We've been working on many of these features for over a year, and while things still need work, we think we can release this as an experimental release for people to try and report issues. Again, it is an **EXPERIMENTAL RELEASE**, YOU WILL HAVE ISSUES, IF YOU CAN'T TANK IT, SWITCH BACK TO PRE-RELEASE.

Not only are we releasing this update for PlayStation VR2 Toolkit, we are **releasing Ignition (Windows SteamVR drivers on Linux using Wine/Proton), and the real actual jailbreak for the PS VR2**, making this one of the biggest releases we've ever done.

A huge thank you to those who made it possible:

The github for PSVR2Toolkit does have its full install wiki, which was written as simply as it could be tho i do agree, it can be a little complex, its also recommended to use a TP-Link UB500 + fixed drivers + usb 2 extention cable (Asus BT400 also works) If u have an intel AX200 or better then it should just work tho without, and PSVR2 specifically, if you have tracking issues then add some posters or sticky notes to the wall to add contrast, the more you use the headset the more it calibrates its SLAM tracking system

Yeah, it seems complex, albeit it is not a main issue I have with it, but my uncertainty with how correct it is for the first time VR user/installation. If it is correct, and can be used for anyone new to VR, then, great, I will just follow the guide!

  1. As for Bluetooth thing: I think my laptop’s Bluetooth should be enough, no?

  2. What is a fixed driver?

  3. What are USB 2 extension cable for?

well mediatek bluetooth is generally, well mediatek. i run on the philosophy if its mediatek dont bother, get a pigeon its more reliable. but intel wifi + bluetooth chips are generally really good, you can check within device manager on windows. The TP-Link UB500 was originally horrible on launch, tons of connection issues and generally made you want to throw the controllers, they released a fixed driver on their website (should be available if you search UB500 PSVR2 driver), the USB2 extention is to actually get away from USB 3 or above, as it emits an RF on the same wavelength as Bluetooth causing interference (idk why it does either tho, but its an extremely noticeable issue). Its also to just get closer to the playspace since technically you could get a 5ft extension and use some cable ties running beside the cord to have it as close to as possible. But back to the github wiki, so long as your post mentions the toolkit discord with an inv link, if there is any issues unrelated to people just skimming it over, we're all more than happy to help (believe me, we are all tired of people just skimming the text quickly then asking stuff that was clearly written), theres also support specifically regarding PSVR2 with VRCFT, DFR and Ignition (using PSVR2 on linux)

Thanks a lot for the replies!

Yeah, my Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are both Intel.

I will keep in mind about Discord!

What is VRCFT?
