The panel was drawn into the eye images, so below a 1.00x OpenXR
resolution its 1440x1080 canvas was minified into a small eye region and
the text became hard to read. It is now submitted as a quad layer of its
own over the scene's projection or menu quad, which the compositor samples
directly at any render scale.
Each backend (D3D12, Windows Vulkan, Quest) makes the panel's swapchain
pair (plus two shared buffers on the Quest) the first time the panel
opens. While it is open, the frame hands Aurora one more stereo target
after the eyes, which the bridge fills with the panel texture or a
transparent image. The panel image follows the eyes' displayed/retained
pairing, so a cancelled frame never shows an unwritten panel. The quad
hangs where the pointer's hits are tested. Aurora leaves the panel out of
the eyes in layer mode, and a backend that cannot make the layer falls
back to drawing it into the eyes.
On the Quest, debug.wiicompiled.panel_layer 0 selects the old path at
run time. Measured there at a race start (render_scale 0.8), the layer
costs nothing while the panel is closed; while it is open, app GPU time is
10.5 ms against 9.7 ms drawn into the eyes, with unchanged frame rates.
The replay tests cover lazy creation, cancelled frames, closed and
unplaced panels, and render-first pacing on D3D12 and Windows Vulkan.

Clicking the right thumbstick flips first person exactly as the F10
checkbox does, and saves it the same way. It works on the VR controllers
in either presentation (with a short tick on the right controller) and on
any other gamepad while VR is running. It never reached the game: SDL's
stick click only lands in Aurora's extended buttons.
A click counts on release, and only if the left thumbstick stayed up and
the headset settings panel stayed closed throughout, so the two-thumbstick
panel chord in gamepad mode never toggles the camera. A gamepad whose
right stick click is bound to a GameCube control on its port, as a button
or in an input expression, keeps it for the game. The XR side only posts
a request; the toggle itself runs on the game thread with the checkbox.
[vr] first_person_toggle_click (default true) and a checkbox under the
camera toggle turn the click off. mkw_vr_camera_toggle_tests covers the
click rule.

Every XR frame in the cockpit seat the pacing thread locates both grips in
the seated frame (the immersive base turned by the lean-back angle, the
frame the eye transforms place the vehicle in) and publishes a driving
snapshot. The wheel or handlebar shows the left stick's steering at the
configured full-lock angle, eased; the vehicle's own wheel reads that angle
on the guest thread.
With hand_steering on (off by default), squeezing a grip near the wheel or
handlebar takes hold of it (a short pulse on grab and release); one or two
hands turn it through heurazy's SteeringWheel, and while it is held the
wheel replaces the left stick's X axis in both the Wii Remote and gamepad
presentations, the stick's Y still aims items, and a holding grip no
longer presses C or a shoulder. The settings panel withholds it like any
other input.
The stereo packet carries the cockpit overlay: the hands, in the runtime's
hand mesh (XR_EXT_hand_tracking + XR_FB_hand_tracking_mesh, requested only
when hand steering is on at launch) or procedural gloves, and the separate
VR wheel or handlebar whenever the vehicle's own is not the one turning.
The pure pieces of the first-person cockpit and hand steering, ported from
heurazy's mario-kart-wii-VR-port: the SteeringWheel grab/turn model, the
native wheel vertex rotation, the level seat stabiliser, the seated-eye and
wheel/handlebar geometry, and the XR_FB_hand_tracking_mesh loader. Adds
openxr_driving.h, the OpenXR-free snapshot the pacing thread will publish for
the guest thread, with the hand-off rule (a held wheel replaces the left
stick's X and releases that hand's grip for the game) and the wheel's
displayed angle.
New [vr] keys: first_person_seat (cockpit), cockpit_units_per_meter (100),
steering_wheel (true), native_steering_wheel (true), hand_steering (false)
and the seven wheel_* tuning keys. Nothing reads them yet.
The fresh-config template now writes the first-person defaults the
constants hold (50 / 1.5 / 0); d86dcb0 updated the constants but not the
template.
Tests: mkw_steering_wheel_tests (the fork's), mkw_vr_cockpit_tests,
mkw_vr_hand_steering_tests.
- Created InstallReset.kt to handle the removal of game files, built games, and mod packs while preserving user data.
- Implemented unit tests for InstallReset to ensure correct functionality and file handling.
- Updated RetroRewindPackTest to include new test cases for update and deletion order.
- Enhanced Vulkan interop and OpenXR integration to support new thread scheduling hints for Android.
- Improved error handling and logging for GPU submission failures in Vulkan backend.
