WinlatorXR is a port of Winlator for Meta Quest and Pico headsets. It uses 2D/VR hybrid app flow documented by amwatson.
- Winlator is originally developed by brunodev85 but as he does not opensource the latest versions then I am forced to use a custom fork for this project.
- In 2024 WinlatorXR was based on Glibc fork by longjunyu2 but as he stopped communicating, the project was inactive for a long time and later it stopped working.
- In 2025 Pipetto-crypto ported Winlator to Bionic/Proton which is a massive boost for Meta Quest integration.
- His integration was enhanced by coffincolors in Winlator CMOD fork which is now base for WinlatorXR.
- Pico support and XR enhancement were brought by Tobbe85.
- Play for Dream support was brought by EasonZxp.
- Content is maintained by StevenMXZ who maintains it for Winlator-Bionic.
