Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com May 7, Sony's latest virtual reality device, the PSVR2, not only has advanced technology and rich game resources, but also has exclusive masterpieces such as Horizon: the call of the Mountain. However, this device also has an obvious drawback, that is, it can only be used on PS5 hosts, and is not as compatible with the PC platform as other competitors. However, someone said on the Internet today that they have successfully cracked PSVR2's hardware authentication mechanism so that it can run on PC.

The news was first exposed on the NeoGAF forum, and then a user named iVRy posted a photo on Twitter showing that "PSVR2 has been certified!" The words. IVRy is a developer of Steam applications that allow users to force the use of a variety of VR devices in other programs, including the first generation of PSVR. IVRy said on Twitter that they had cracked PSVR2's encryption, but they could not disclose the exact method because it could lead to legal action by Sony.

Although the hardware authentication has been cracked, a driver is needed for PSVR2 to work properly on PC, which allows PlayStation controllers to be used in applications and games that do not support them, such as the first generation Watchman. However, there is no driver for PSVR2, and the development of such a driver is very time-consuming and complex, requiring reverse engineering of the USB protocol and a lot of guessing and testing.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go for PSVR2 to run on PC. Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility that Sony suddenly released an official driver that allows PSVR2 to natively support VR games on the PC platform. So we can only wait to see which side acts first, the official or the hardware enthusiast? CTOnews.com will keep an eye on this.
