A new PS1 emulator is in development which will enable VR support in certain titles.
VRified Games has shown off footage of Metal Gear Solid running in an emulator and says it will offer both first- and third-person modes, stereoscopic 3D, and 6 DOF head tracking.
The project is still very much a work in progress; the head tracking in the video is quite jerky, which is due to the game's frame rate being locked to 30fps while the tracking runs at 90fps. "Still a nut I'm trying to crack," admits the developer.
If they succeed, then this could be an interesting new way to experience Hideo Kojima's seminal PS1 classic – and other 32-bit PlayStation titles. Jumping Flash would be amazing to play this way, for example.
The emulator is in development for PC, but VRified Games says that a Meta Quest version could come in the future.
