Rift's 'exclusive' games and demos already running on HTC Vive
Rift“独占”游戏与展示样品已可在HTC Vive运作
By Ben Kuchera on Apr 13, 2016 at 6:19p
The Oculus Rift has already seen the loss of a few games that were
supposedly exclusive to the platform, and it looks like third-party
programmers are making sure many other Oculus Rift games will be able
to run on the HTC Vive. A proof of concept program posted on GitHub
has enabled Lucky's Tale and the Oculus Dreamdeck demos to run on the
HTC Vive.
Oculus Rift已经少掉了一些独占游戏，而现在看来似乎有第三方程式可让其他
Oculus Rift的游戏在HTC Vive上运作。一款公布在GitHub上的概念验证程式可
让Lucky's Tale及Oculus Dreamdeck试玩版运作于HTC Vive之上。
"It works by reimplementing functions from the Oculus Runtime and
translating them to OpenVR calls," the page states. "Unfortunately
Oculus has implemented a Code Signing check on the Runtime DLLs,
therefore the Revive DLLs cannot be used unless the application is
patched."
网页上写道，“其原理是重新实作Oculus Runtime上的函式，并转译成OpenVR
的呼叫。不幸的是，Oculus在Runtime程式库上实作了程式码签章凭证，除非将
应用程式打上补丁，否则不能使用Revive程式库。”
The process is very simple. Here are the instructions, straight from
the project’s Github listing:
其步骤非常简单。下面是该计画于Github上写下的步骤：
Download the Lucky's Tale patch here.
下载Lucky's Tale的补丁。
Install Lucky's Tale from Oculus Home, then go to C:\Program Files
(x86)\Oculus\Software\playful-luckys-tale.
从Oculus Home安装Lucky's Tale，然后到其资料夹C:\Program Files
(x86)\Oculus\Software\playful-luckys-tale。
Extract the patch in that folder, it will overwrite
LT_Data\Plugins\OVRPlugin.dll so make sure you have a backup.
在该资料夹下将补丁将解压。这会覆蓋掉LT_Data\Plugins\OVRPlugin.dll，
所以要先确认有备份。
Make sure SteamVR is running and then start LT.exe, for convenience you can
also add LT.exe as a non-steam game to your SteamVR dashboard.
确认SteamVR有在运作，然后开启LT.exe。为了方便起见，你也可以将LT.exe加
入SteamVR的常用程式清单内。
This is just the beginning. It sounds like any Oculus-ready game can be made
playable on the Vive. "The Revive DLLs already contain the necessary hooking
code to work around the Code Signing check in any application," the
description explains. "However you will still need to patch the application
to actually load the Revive DLLs."
这只是开始而已。听起来，似乎每一款Oculus上的游戏都可以在Vive上玩。网
页上解释，“Revive程式库已内含可应付任何游戏的程式码签章凭证所需之挂
钩程式。不过，你仍然需要将应用程式打上补丁，以实际执行Reive程式库。”
We were able to test the downloads ourselves and yep, Dreamdeck works just
fine on the HTC Vive. It's not just a matter of games being compatible using
this tool, which would be interesting enough, but the Vive's enhanced
tracking makes it possible to walk around the scenes in Dreamdeck. This, in
many cases, makes the experience better than it currently is on the Oculus
Rift.
我们能自己下载来测试，而确实，Dreamdeck在HTC Vive上一样运作得很好。不
只是游戏能使用这工具来相容而已，更因为Vive更好的追踪功能，使得在
Dreamdeck的场景内走动变得可能。这在大多数的例子中，都将会让体验变得比
在Oculus Rift上来得更好。
The Vive's chaperone system, which shows you the limits of your play space,
also works just fine on the Rift titles. They seem to run nearly as well as
native Vive titles in our testing.
Vive的蓝色网墙系统能知道你游戏空间的极限，这在Rift的游戏上也能运作得
很好。在我们的测试中，就如同是原生的Vive游戏一般。
"It may work with plenty of other games, but that hasn't been tested by
myself," Reddit user CrossVR, who posted the program, stated. "It's still
early days for this project, since it's only been in development for a few
weeks. In the future more games will be supported, but I'm glad to see such
swift progress already."
乡民CrossVR在网页上留言，“这可能可以运行在其他许多的游戏上，但我还没
有测试过。这只是这个计画的刚开始，毕竟这个程式上传到GitHub上才几周的
时间而已。将来，将会有更多游戏能支援，但我很高兴现在就能看到如此进展
。”
心得：
依据新闻里的步骤，必须要同时有Oculus Rift及HTC Vive才有可能实现，而且
看起来每个游戏都要有一个补丁。
不过，真正重要的可能不是这个程式，而是其概念验证本身。Oculus Rift上的
游戏可以轻易地转成HTC Vive可运作的游戏，那在Oculus Rift上推出独占游戏
的意义到底在哪里？
