Rookie keeps crashing after 2 minutes of use/ starting up. (Please don't mind the audio, had a video running without my headphones on in the bc)

i have my antivirus turned off, tried with both drives, and even tried different computers at one point but even then it closes after a while after i try and use it. its really annoying to come back to redo it every time i am focused on something else. plus i think its the reason why some of the games i install don't work. please any help would be appreciated. It used to work fine as i have used it for years now

A heartfelt message to the people who made ARMGDDN.

I have read the rules, all the pinned posts, and i have searched the megathread. Thank you, creators of ARMGDDN. You have helped me in cases where SteamRIP and other apps failed. You have helped me when i couldn’t find safe apps on TPB. ARMGDDN is one of my favorite piracy tools to use. and i hope every single one of the creators weeks is filled with sunshine and rainbows knowing they helped so many people get games when they couldn’t afford it. Thank
you ARMGDDN creators.

Why does some pirated software appear visible in the launcher rightaway, but most of it needs to accessed via "unknown" sources menu?

Hi all,

you probably know what I mean. I have pirated versions of "Liminal" and 4XVR Player" installed. When I launch those I get the warning with option to "proceed" or to reset the app.

For everything else I need to first enable the unknown sources-view and then get presented a list of the apps (without icon though, it looks shitty).

Can I make this software somehow available in the launcher, so it shows like 4XRV and Liminal (directly accessible from launcher --> apps, just need to nod off the warning)?

Why does it behave differently at all? Why is not every pirated piece of software designed like 4XVR or Liminal so it's beeing put in the launcher?

Thanks and best regards!

Thieft simulator not installing correctly

So I try to install Thief Simulator VR: Greenview Street and in the instructions it says that it needs to be installed via "quest apk installer" (?) wich is already weird enough and even after I do it as it says, I can't start the game. It just shows me the option to allow it to access my archives but it then crashes before staring the game itself. I'm on quest 3 and I have even tried to extract the original apk from the quest before sideloading it using rookie. Obviously didnt work

QuestPiracy Community Update | August 13th, 2026

A lot has happened, so here are the important updates

A lot has changed recently, and ive had several different highlight posts pinned for different things. Rather than keep a pile of outdated posts around, im combining the important stuff here so i can remove the old ones and keep one post updated when things change.

---

vrSrc is alive

This is old news by now, but yes, vrSrc is alive and running on a new server.

The people running it are anonymous, and thats how they want it kept.

---

Where to get vrSrc server updates

The official place for vrSrc server information is their Telegram channel. Its linked in the subreddit sidebar, unless you are one of those weirdos using old.reddit or the mobile app where Reddit likes hiding everything.

On Telegram, search:

>the_vrSrc

Not everyone uses Telegram, but you actually dont need a Telegram account to view the channel.

Reddit automatically removes Telegram links, but you can manually build the browser link by inserting /s/ between t dot me and the_vrSrc. That lets you view the channel in a normal browser without installing Telegram or creating an account.

This channel is important because the JSON contents WILL change over time.

Please stop reposting the actual JSON everywhere. It accomplishes nothing except spreading information that will eventually become outdated and making it easier for servers to get blocked or shut down. ISP blocking has already started happening in some places.

Posting the actual JSON contents on this subreddit will result in a PERMANENT ban.

There is absolutely no reason to post it here.

All of this information is also available on the QuestPiracy Megathread.

---

Supported applications

Currently, only approved applications can connect to the vrSrc API.

Current supported apps and minimum versions:

  • Rookie Sideloader 3.4+ with 3.4 currently being the latest release
  • VR CyberDeck 1.2.1+ with 1.7.2 currently being the latest release and available on the DeliciousMeatPop GitHub

Older versions and unapproved applications will not connect.

Rookie is Windows only.

VR CyberDeck supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.

There is currently no working native Quest downloader using the vrSrc API.

Keep in mind this ONLY applies to applications using vrSrc. There are plenty of other sources listed in the QuestPiracy Megathread that have nothing to do with vrSrc.

Both CyberDeck and Rookie require you to copy the current JSON from the vrSrc Telegram into the application.

The Megathread has more information about this, including video tutorials.

---

VPN and ISP blocking issues

This has confused a lot of people lately.

Some ISPs appear to be blocking access to parts of the vrSrc infrastructure.

Common symptoms include CyberDeck loading no game list even after refreshing, Rookie loading the game list but returning Error 500 when you attempt a download, or a fresh Rookie installation saying:

config server is not reachable - check url and your connection

The easiest test is simple.

Try a VPN.

If everything suddenly works, congratulations, you probably just spent 10 seconds diagnosing something that people have spent hours troubleshooting.

Free options people have reported success with include Proton VPN and Cloudflare WARP.

CyberDeck also detects this situation much better now and will display a warning banner suggesting a VPN when it looks like your connection is being blocked.

---

My old KaladinDMP GitHub account

After GitHub suspended my previous account, ive been rebuilding and restoring my projects here:

https://github.com/DeliciousMeatPop

At this point basically everything important is back.

That includes VR CyberDeck and Automagic Package Changer, although for APK renaming i recommend Quest APK Renamer instead. Thats linked on the Megathread.

Im still cleaning things up and rebuilding anything thats missing under the new account.

QuestPiracy Telegram

Reddit is great for discussions.

It is absolutely terrible for live troubleshooting.

Sometimes fixing something requires screenshots, logs, version numbers, testing something, coming back with the result, trying something else, and repeating that process a few times.

Thats why the QuestPiracy Telegram exists.

Its meant for live troubleshooting, installation help, sideloading questions, and helping people who are genuinely stuck.

It is NOT there for sharing files, requesting files, asking where to download games, or trying to get around subreddit rules.

Search QuestPiracy on Telegram or use the link in the subreddit sidebar.

Again, unless you are one of those weirdos using old Reddit or the mobile app and cant see the sidebar.

The goal isnt to replace Reddit. Its just a much better format for live support, and hopefully it also cuts down on duplicate troubleshooting posts here.

And yes, before someone asks again, we're adults. There will not be an official Discord.

If somebody else wants to create one, maintain it, moderate it, deal with Discord drama, and generally volunteer for that particular form of punishment, ill happily put the link in the sidebar.

Im just not running it.

--

The QuestPiracy Megathread

The Megathread is back and has been heavily updated.

If you find dead links ON THE MEGATHREAD, please let me know ASAP.

I do not mean some random dead DDL link on one of the sites listed in the Megathread. I mean an actual broken link on the Megathread itself.

A screenshot of the broken link or a good description of where you found it would be greatly appreciated.

We are also looking for editors and useful information to add.

If you have corrections, guides, tools, updated information, useful links, or anything else that genuinely belongs there, feel free to comment.

Also, if you previously tried making an account and never received the verification email, that has been fixed.

Apparently email requires SMTP configuration.

Who knew?

Yes, i am dumb.

Marvel Powers United VR Level Select Tool

Ive also been rewriting my Marvel Powers United VR Level Select Tool that i originally wrote for the revival project in 2024, famously used by Beardo Benjo and other youtube famous people before the DCMA that shut it down.

Im specifically looking for people who use Link or Air Link who are willing to test it.

No, i will not give you the game files

No, i do not have the game files.

No, i cannot give you the game files.

No, asking me for the game files is not an innovative loophole nobody thought of before.

I will ban you if you ask.

and just in case its not clear: No games files.

If you already own the game or already have the files and want to help test the tool, please let me know. I could especially use testers running setups different from mine. VD will not work. Airlink or link seems to be required.

>!BTW the game files definitely cant be found at everyone favorite Russian forum so do NOT look there whatever you do!<

---

Going forward

When something major changes, ill update this post or make a new one instead of constantly creating new highlight posts.

As always, im here to help the community. If you have legitimate questions, concerns, corrections, or useful information, post a comment.

One final thing.:

Im done entertaining the nonstop negativity, entitlement, and people who seemingly come here exclusively to complain about free tools, free information, and volunteers not doing enough for them.

Constructive criticism is fine.

Being a dick is not

Negative comments that contribute nothing will be removed, and if someone clearly only wants to cause problems, ill just ban them and keep it moving

There are too many useful things we could be doing here to waste time arguing with people who don't actually want help. and don't want to help

Kicked back to Loft on all Sideloaded Quest Games

I have read the rules, all the pinned posts, and i have searched the megathread.

I've had my quest sideloaded forever and sitting, just used it last night to play some beat saber. Apparently at some point it updated to the new navigator? UI and now whenever I try to boot any of those unknown source games it immediately kicks me back to the loft. I don't think this would be version incompatibility for all my games? I've re-enabled dev mode for my account. Anyone else have thoughts on why it may be happening?

No pre-configured JSON on VRCyberdeck v1.7.2 .AppImage

Hello, I installed VRCyberdeck v1.7.2 .AppImage on Arch Linux, and I noticed that the public server’s json didn’t come pre-configured in it. I would like to know if it was intentional or not, since it already comes pre-configured in its .deb build and i believe in its .exe too.

When launching ToTF2 all is normal, I press the hamburger menu to start and it prompts me for the normal calibration, I go through it normally, however then it throws me into advanced calibration all by itself and the first 2 steps are okay but when it says "Put your left hand under your right elbow" I cant get it to work whatever I tried.
