so, the AVP developer strap has a CDC NCM interface, and as it turns out it totally works for wired ALVR with some help from a Raspberry Pi (Window's NCM drivers don't work). Pushes 200Mbps Ultra (5632) super clean, no hitches or stutters.

@dynastic @BubblegumOctopu Joke responses aside, people use these to plug a generator into their house. This is a terrible idea bc it bypasses the fuse box for that circuit (ie, if you plug too much into that room it could catch on fire), and it can back feed into power lines being worked on + other homes.

I think I'm basically wrapped up with the hand tracking controller emulation, everything looks correct. It's all gesture based so it's fiddly, but the bonus is that we also get elbow tracking for free even if other controllers are used.

ok but the funny thing is, there's actually some slight truth to this? If you don't boot a Wii/Wii U for long enough, the NAND will decay enough bits that it will fail to boot. Booting regularly allows the ECC stuff to refresh any decayed bits without data loss.

Joy-Con as VR controllers are surprisingly usable for AVP, even without accelerometer+hands fusion for 90Hz tracking (which I can't do for now, because Apple didn't implement motion for Joy-Con, only Pro Controllers 🙁) But they do have haptics at least, which is nice
