Can we have an Oculus Quest section?

[alepman90]

Since it's a platform on its own plus can be a PC tethered, Quest has the best of both world
homebrew and unofficial market community is active with Sidequest, i think it deserves it's own section

As with every other suggestion for a XYZ new section, you have to ask "are the other sections being dominated by threads and questions about that topic in such a way that an entirely new section/subsection is necessary?"

And, as with every other suggestion, no, they aren't. I haven't seen any massive influx of threads about Oculus Quest "homebrew", or VR in general since the PC/Android/PS4 sections easily cover that.

The day we get a billion threads about the Oculus Quest that clogs up every other forum, absolutely. Otherwise, it's not needed here.

+1 to the unless it is obvious we tend to reserve such things for when they overrun a section.

If however you want to write and maintain a news thread and it proves to be popular or of such quality then a sticky can be arranged far more easily.
I don't hold out much hope of popularity (I assume it is a still an expensive bit of proprietary software using hardware, one requiring a reasonably potent machine to make proper use of with few games and not much chance of getting all the games) but quality can be achieved by any, and might even be a case of "build it and they will come".

like u said the day we get a billion threads about the Oculus Quest that clogs up every other forum, absolutely. Otherwise, it's not needed here. Just like old system I think they should be removed no has homebrew on old old system still have a thread about it.

What systems would they be?

GB/GBC we are seeing active discussion and development of a flash cart from a veteran team
https://gbatemp.net/threads/ez-flash-junior-testflight.558875/ which has competition as well.
and new games before that (see Towers II), leaked releases (see all the various gigaleaks) and homebrew in general ( https://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/5574/complete-gameboy-trackers-sequencers-synths-list/ ).

GBA wise the site is named for it so probably got to keep those for posterity, and even if not I spent the last few days having a discussion about any amount of very in depth hacking for it
https://gbatemp.net/threads/is-there-a-limit-as-to-how-many-samples-the-gba-can-play.573544/
If anything I would be up for bringing that section back to the fore to join all the other current and last gen consoles rather than having it somewhat buried.

PS1 this last month for the optical drive emulator
https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps1-hdmi-and-ode-comming.571579/
and PS2 saw a massive new exploit not long before that
https://gbatemp.net/threads/new-pla...urnt-dvd-games-to-run-without-modchip.568654/

Gamecube has plenty going on (all sorts of drive emulators, HDMI adapters, mods and more going there, to say nothing of its homebrew also working on the Wii and Wii U) and ROM hacking is also ramping up there.

Xbox is one of the finest homebrew consoles the world ever saw and has a decided following around here (granted that often spills over into the 360 section). 360 also saw a massive homebrew/hacking scene.

Other Consoles & Oldies is a catch all section otherwise so kind of need that one.

I assume android and ios sections don't offend your sensibilities (apple in general offends me but they never the less remain popular).

That pretty much leaves GPD Handhelds and Dingoo & Gemei
Both of those are homebrew powerhouses, though doing less than they used to. They might stand to be archived somewhat or folded into another.

For the most part I think we gave up on having one of those forum index is all on one screen deals around the time the DS hit.
