-===== Oculus =====
-  * https://www.oculus.com/rift/setup/?locale=en_US
-==== Use HEVC ====
-  * Use HEVC/H.265 instead of AVC/H.264 for Link
-  * :!: As of 2021/06/30, HEVC doesn't work for a RX 580, but it falls back to AVC; presumably this will be fixed at some point
-<code>reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Oculus\RemoteHeadset" /v "HEVC" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f</code>
-==== Disable SPUD ====
-  * This lowers average Motion-to-photon latency by about 4ms for a Rift CV1 (19ms to 15ms)
-  * [[https://forums.oculusvr.com/community/discussion/93160/disabling-spud-lowers-motion-to-photon-latency|Oculus Forums Thread]]
-<code>reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oculus" /v "UseSpud" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f</code>
-==== Logs ====
-****
-<code>%localappdata%\Oculus</code>
-==== SideQuest ====
-  * https://sidequestvr.com/setup-howto
-==== ADB ====
-  * :!: ADB drivers are automatically installed by Oculus
-  * :!: For general ''.apk'' installs and ''adb shell'' commands, use SideQuest instead
-  * :!: For sideloading firmware updates, SideQuest cannot be used, and thus will need the ''platform-tools'' package below
-  * [[https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-adb-drivers/|Oculus ADB Drivers]]
-  * [[https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip|Android SDK Platform-Tools]]
-==== Backup/Restore ====
-=== Installer ===
-  * Let Oculus download its 5GB+ installer
-  * While it is installing, backup the ''C:\OculusSetup-DownloadCache'' folder
-  * :!: The backup must be done after the download, and while Oculus is installing
-  * If restoring, transfer 5GB+ to ''C:\OculusSetup-DownloadCache'' and start the Oculus installer
-  * :!: If an updated Oculus client is available, it will download instead of restoring
-=== Client ===
-  * Go to the ''Oculus\Support'' folder
-  * If there's 15 folders, backup everything except ''oculus-dreamdeck-nux'', ''oculus-touch-tutorial'', and ''oculus-worlds''
-  * :!: 12 folders should be included in the backup and it should be around 605MB if archived
-  * This has been true with versions pre-V12, V18-V30
-  * For restoring, stop the Oculus service through command or Debug Tool, delete the existing 12 folders, restore the 12 folders from backup, and start the Oculus service
-<code>%OculusBase%\Support</code>
-== Prevent Client Updates ==
-  * This sets the update channel to something unknown, so the Oculus client can't compare its version to check for updates
-  * :!: To revert this, it may be enough to toggle the ''Public Test Channel'' option from Oculus
-  * ''LIVE'' Stable
-  * ''PublicTest'' = Public Test Channel/PTC
-  * ''NOUPD8'' = Some nonsense value
-  reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Oculus VR, LLC\Oculus\Config" /v "CoreChannel" /t "REG_SZ" /d "NOUPD8" /f
