A Quest page on the public site (/quest) installs a DorkNet .xapk from
Chrome or Edge over WebUSB, with no adb, SideQuest or scripts: pick the
.xapk, connect the headset, install. It installs the APK, copies the OBB
to its install path (skipped when an identical one is already there) and
launches the app, with progress bars and plain-language errors for an
unsupported browser, a headset held by adb/SideQuest, a disconnect and a
copy signed with a different key.
The .xapk is read from the player's own disk: the APK and OBB are stored
uncompressed, so they stream straight out of the file without loading
1.4 GB into memory, and the server never hosts game files.
Uses Tango (@yume-chan/adb 2.6.4 and friends, MIT), pinned and bundled;
the page is lazy-loaded so the rest of the site doesn't grow. Credited in
NOTICE; README, DorkNet.Quest/README.md, docs/quest.md and the packaged
README.txt point players at the page.
Patches the Quest build of Rec Room 2023.03.21 (20230317 / 2128210, the
same appVersion as the PC client) to connect to a DorkNet server, using
one native hook library loaded via DT_NEEDED on libmain.so.
- host rewrite onto <svc>.<ServerHost> or a {service}-dev.example.com template
- Photon app ids and region injection (PhotonRegion must match PC)
- TLS / pinning / image-signature bypass, integrity callbacks neutralised
- no-Meta-account build; the server treats platform id 0/1/blank as a
placeholder and keys those accounts by device id
- build.ps1 -Obb packages a DorkNet-<ver>.xapk with one-command
installers for Windows and macOS/Linux; app is named via AppName
- README, docs/quest.md and NOTICE updated; credits RecFlare and
And64InlineHook (MIT)
Tested on a Quest 2: all hooks arm, requests reach the dev server.
Targets Rec Room 2020.12.18 client.
Re-import after adding:
- DorkNet.ClientMod/dorknet-clientmod.json.template — config schema
the launcher's manifest-driven patcher renders into UserData/.
- tools/build-patcher-zip.ps1 — produces the dorknet-clientpatch-{key}.zip
Release asset the launcher fetches.
- .github/workflows/release.yml — auto-publishes both Release assets
on v1-december-* tag push.
Scrubbed via maintainer-side scrub-for-public.ps1: same drop rules as
the prior import, plus build-patcher-zip.ps1 added to the tools/
allow-list so it survives the scrub.
