(actually read this before reacting with ❌)THE DEVS CAN PORT YEEPS TO STEAM FRAME WITHOUT MODDERS

[silk solstice]

wait isn't this what ac did

[glacial hazel]

No

It can get modded either way

Barely anyone plays on steam anyway

[maiden wasp]

No, they ported a .exe file so that it can run on computer, a .apk only runs on mobile devices, like the steam frame

[maiden wasp]

then how come yeeps is rarely modded now?

[glacial hazel]

Cus it’s hard to do on meta

Steam is easier

[maiden wasp]

Yeeps on meta is a .apk file, people can just use sidequest to bring the .apk file onto their pc. If it was so easy to mod a .apk file, it wouldve been done already

[elder totem]

They already said they aren't having steam vr ports

[maiden wasp]

Bro nathan said that in 2024, way before the steam frame was announced

[elder totem]

Im reffering to steam vr in general

[maiden wasp]

after the release of the steam frame, steve said he was unsure but theres a possibility

[elder totem]

Yeeps already has a modding problem

This would make it much worse

[maiden wasp]

again, that was before the Steam Frame

[elder totem]

Again, I'm not reffering to that specifically

[maiden wasp]

The steam frame uses a mobile chip just like the quest 3 though

[elder totem]

Its still steam

You cannot convince me to give you a ✨

[maiden wasp]

How will modding be any worse if the yeeps devs use literally the exact same file to run on the steam frame

[elder totem]

#1531076214578614424 message

[maiden wasp]

Whatever bro

Anyways, since the Steam Frame uses a Snapdragon CPU, it can run .apk files. The meta quest 3 also uses .apk files to run apps, so if the yeeps devs release the same .apk file on steam that they use for meta quest, the "modding problem" will not get any worse.

[elder totem]

Bleh bleh bleh

[maiden wasp]

Me when i do 0 research and im super close minded

[elder totem]

Me when i fall for an obvious ragebait message

[cloud crow]

I have censored the date but this was made in January 2026

It's still recent

[maiden wasp]

Why did you censor the date

[cloud crow]

Do NOT consider informations false over date next time

[maiden wasp]

???

[cloud crow]

It was said this year

[cloud crow]

Again

[silk solstice]

yeah six months ago

just checked

[maiden wasp]

But now we know that steam frame can run .apks. when he posted this, maybe he thought that the yeeps devs would have to create an entirely new port

[cloud crow]

That's doesn't solve anything

Hackers have a brain of Albert Eistein, kid

They know one way or another to hack Yeeps

[humble mortar]

Bro everyone plays steam 😭

I would literally burn my meta headset if Yeeps wasn’t only available on it

[cloud crow]

And when they find it, they'll tell to everyone else how

[glacial hazel]

Steam vr I said

Barely anyone plays steam vr

And if they do

[humble mortar]

My point still stands

[glacial hazel]

Then they probably aren’t intrested in gtag locomotion

[maiden wasp]

With the steam frame, players can upload the yeeps.apk file from the quest 3 to the steam frame anyways, it would just be easier if you could download it directly from the frame. It would bring many new players in

[maiden wasp]

Do you even know how many people are gonna buy a steam frame when it comes out

[glacial hazel]

Yeah but probably not for gtag

[cloud crow]

Gt-g got a heck ton of hackers

[humble mortar]

Yeah I hate that game

I like Yeeps lol

[glacial hazel]

Steam vr is not for gtag locomotio games

[humble mortar]

What is brotato cooking

Anyway

[elder totem]

Bumping this

[maiden wasp]

im in a server with 6k other people who are waiting to buy the steam frame, and thats only a fraction of the people who are gonna buy it

[maiden wasp]

They got hackers because their game runs on windows. if the yeeps devs put the .apk file on steam, it could only run on steam frame standalone, not windows

[cloud crow]

What part of "they know one way or another to mod in" you don't get it

💔

[maiden wasp]

Then why is there barely any modders now

[fluid gyro]

i dont wanna take any risks of mass hacking

/modding

[cloud crow]

Because it's on Meta
If Yeeps used APK then modders can use a special magic spell called decompile so they can mod in

[maiden wasp]

did u fully read my suggestion...

[cloud crow]

Also file converters

Those also helps on modding

[maiden wasp]

Then why dont people just put the yeeps.apk file on their computer so they can decompile it and mod it, then download it back on their quest

[cloud crow]

How would they do thay

[maiden wasp]

sidequest

[cloud crow]

...That feels so obscure that I don't even think that a modder would know

[maiden wasp]

it would be nearly the exact same process if yeeps was a .apk file on the steam frame

[humble mortar]

While I agree that modding is an issue I also do know that meta is not going to be making any new headsets anymore and with how bad meta is at this point after steam frames being out for a while most people who use vr will be on Steam.

I think eventually someday Yeeps might come to it since they will sorta have to. But as for right now Yeeps is not ready for it and will have more loss than gain

You get a react my good sir

[cloud crow]

Almost no one would know it, so the issue still stands

[maiden wasp]

exactly, not many people know how to mod a .apk file, so if the yeeps devs ported the exact same .apk file to steam, the modding problem wouldnt get any worse

[cloud crow]

Why are you comparing one obscure thing with a popular one?

[humble mortar]

Side quest is not obscure lol

[maiden wasp]

what are you even talking about

[humble mortar]

Very useful app for all sorts of Vr things

[cloud crow]

Many people in the modding country already know how to mod in (especially the ones that uses BepInEx)

[maiden wasp]

wtf is a modding country, and what do you mean "mod in"

[cloud crow]

Is the sidequest an app? I've never heard of it

[humble mortar]

Yeah

[flat sail]

I actually made a ticket about this bc I don’t wanna loose my account when I get my new headset

[cloud crow]

You have never modded in a game?

[cloud crow]

Interesting
I should search it on the store to see it

[maiden wasp]

i modded gtag a while ago

[cloud crow]

And what helped you to mod?

[maiden wasp]

The fact that it was a .exe

[cloud crow]

Using...?

[humble mortar]

It was the only way to get applab games for a while I think but it’s also amazing for putting all sorts of games on your headset.

It’s also useful for modding or interacting with game files especially for Bonelab.

As for the store I don’t mean official meta app I mean like you can get it for your pc as an app to connect your headset to

[maiden wasp]

my computer

[cloud crow]

With...?

[humble mortar]

Idk about it being on meta itself

[cloud crow]

Don't say a keyboard and mouse please

[maiden wasp]

a .exe gtag file

[cloud crow]

Did you used BepInEx?

[maiden wasp]

If gtag was a .apk i would have no clue how to mod it

[maiden wasp]

yeah

[cloud crow]

I know some PvZ2 mods, even if PvZ2 is a mobile game (so even if PvZ2 uses an APK)

[maiden wasp]

(actually read this before reacting with ❌)THE DEVS CAN PORT YEEPS TO STEAM FRAME WITHOUT MODDERS

[cloud crow]

Mainly Reflourished and AltverZ

[maiden wasp]

is pvz 2 a vr game now

when did that happen

[cloud crow]

What do you think 🥀

It's a mobile game

And it uses the same file as what do you want Yeeps to use

The APK

[maiden wasp]

Yeah so anyways, why would it be easier to mod an apk file on steam frame than on quest

[cloud crow]

File converters (I want you to guess this one on why please)

[maiden wasp]

Are you telling me that you cant use file converters on meta quest games even if you get the apk file on your pc

[cloud crow]

Meta Quests can only run APKs, not EXEs

[maiden wasp]

cant yeeps just make a system that ensures the game only runs as an apk

[cloud crow]

Name one VR game that's available on Meta Store and it's an EXE file

[cloud crow]

How would that work?

[maiden wasp]

there is none

[cloud crow]

See? Point perfectly proven

[maiden wasp]

what point

couldnt you just convert the apk to an exe, mod it, then convert it back to apk

@cloud crow

[cloud crow]

Sorry for the reaction

I didn't mean to do it

[cloud crow]

So, uh, how would that help?

[maiden wasp]

Im saying that modding it on quest isnt any harder than modding on frame

[cloud crow]

In order to make mods, you would need a keyboard

And a game engine

Now, how would you get a keyboard and a game engine on your Quest

Wait

[maiden wasp]

bro were just arguing in circles now

[solar light]

They made it harder to access the files on meta that allow modded things hence why standalone gtag mode stopped happening while with steam you have unlimited access due to it being easier to hack and can do whatever

[pulsar jasper]

Man I know modding is a problem but this would be so nice

Especially because I don’t wanna have anything to do with Meta

[pulsar jasper]

So steam allows the apk to be uploaded so it would be the same safety
Because apk is easy enough to get

[next topaz]

Dude, have an ❌

What was this suggestion

Can’t even read it.
