Greetings fellow Gearheads!
Thanks to the release of the Entitlement Check cracking tool, we've gone from having a relaxing month to a slightly crazy one as we patch and test titles. We've made the tool available directly from The Vault in a new section called "Utilities".
We've added another Google Sheet to the APK List section that shows all the titles we want to re-test to see if the failures are due to Entitlement Checks, or other issues (such as content server shutdowns). There are 343 titles so it's going to take some time, but we will get there! In just the last 2 days we've already cracked and tested around 80 apps on GearVR. Quest testing will come next. You can find the list here:
We've noticed a handful of apps that the cracking tool didn't work with. We've put these aside and once the bulk of testing is complete, we'll go back and see if we can work out how to crack these too.
Next, we've added a dedicated Oculus Go section for titles that work on Go, but not on GearVR. This wasn't really needed before as 99% (made up number) of Go titles seem to have the Entitlement Check in place. Now we can remove it, we can start offering more of these apps.
Which leads us to the last point - a request for a bit of help from the community. Our current hosting has 100Gb of included storage, and we've already hit 90Gb. For US$200 we can upgrade to 200Gb (which should be enough to host all the cracked files) and this will keep us running until 2028. A generous member of the community has already donated US$100 so we're halfway there. If you are in a position to assist, please PM and we'll send through our PayPal email address.
Happy VRing!
