Climate Quest Mac OS

Sideloading application for Oculus Quest

SideQuest lets you install and run VR games for Oculus Quest that aren’t in the Oculus Store. It’s a free desktop app for Mac, which developers can use as an unofficial curated VR store.

What is sideloading?

Sideloading is a term used for adding unofficial content to a device using a virtual desktop app. If the Quest headset is in developer mode, it’s relatively easy to install extra content. Otherwise, SideQuest does the same thing but makes it more accessible.

SideQuest vs. Quest

The Oculus Quest VR headset is self-contained; once it’s charged up, you can access the Quest games store from the device itself, rather than needing to use a Mac. However, Oculus is run by Facebook, which implemented a strict curation policy for games.

Although other game consoles do the same thing, the market for VR titles is a lot narrower, so the policy isn’t too popular with many VR developers and gamers. That’s where SideQuest comes in. It has a range of games that can be sorted by genre, staff picks, and user ratings.

Is SideQuest legal?

Since it’s not officially supported by Facebook, SideQuest is very much a ‘use at your own risk’ proposition. However, it’s not illegal to sideload games onto a Quest, especially if the game is released for that purpose by its developer.

Facebook supports sideloading itself, but if you use it to add pirated VR games to your Oculus, you’ll get in trouble.

Our take

SideQuest is a safe way to add independent VR games from your Mac to your Oculus Quest. Much like the Xbox Indie Store before it, SideQuest gives developers who likely don’t have the industry clout (or finances) to meet Facebook’s curation criteria a shot at being seen.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you’re worried about the legal aspect, don’t be too concerned. As long as you’re using SideQuest solely for its curated games, you’ll be fine.

OpenBUGS can be installed on computers running Mac OS X as follows:

  1. Install Homebrew, which makes the installation of any other programs on your Mac quite easy!
  2. Install Wine by opening Terminal and typing the following command:
    • brew install wine
  3. Next, download the Windows version of OpenBUGS here (e.g.: file OpenBUGS323setup.exe depending on the current version)
  4. Still in Terminal, go to the directory where the file was downloaded and type:
    • wine OpenBUGS323setup.exe
  5. OpenBUGS is now installed and ready to be used! You can run it by typing:
    • wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/OpenBUGS/OpenBUGS323/OpenBUGS.exe
    • Note the syntax: wine <directory where OpenBUGS was installed/OpenBUGS.exe>

Creating an alias to run OpenBUGS

The syntax to run OpenBUGS can be quite long, as shown in (5) above. This is because of the location of the OpenBUGS file in your Wine directory. To avoid having to type that long syntax every time, you can create an alias in Terminal. For instance, every time you type 'openbugs', then the program opens automatically. To create the alias, type the following in Terminal:

  • cd ~
  • vim .profile

Then you can edit the .profile file using vim. Add the following line to your .profile:

alias openbugs='wine /Users/<yourusername>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/OpenBUGS/OpenBUGS323/OpenBUGS.exe'

Make sure you write your user name where it says <yourusername> above. Also, don't forget to check that the file is located in that directory. If not, use the correct directory in your computer. Then after you add that line, save the file and quit vim. Then, on Terminal type:

  • source .profile
  • openbugs

Troubleshooting

Homebrew may complain that Wine cannot be installed because some libraries could not be found. If that happens, try the following:

  • brew update

Then try to install Wine again.
