  • I tried recovering a bad bluray with aaru, it was able to create a partial dump but I wasn’t able to fully read it. After about a week of churning it was still picking up more sectors but even if it might have gotten it in time I didn’t want to work my drive that hard.

    I ended up finding a working copy of that movie at goodwill, but I still have other discs not reading. I decided it isn’t worth going beyond what you described, at some point the disc is just genuinely bad.



  • It’s minimally functional, I’m dual booting for vr. It felt like there was a frame of tracking lag which got me motion sick in a static scene. I found a forum post suggesting it was a vsync timing delay that steamvr normally accounts for, but you can workaround by playing with numbers in a configuration file. I gave up there, but I ran into some other issues too.

    • Motion smoothing is not supported
    • It doesn’t automatically switch audio output
    • Base station sleep mode doesn’t work
    • Performance was generally worse than windows, pistol whip had regular frame spikes

    I’ve got the gen 1 vive and a 1070, so other headsets or better gpu driver compatibility could fix that.
