Quest Modding with Android

WARNING

Installing MBF and modding your game will disable Official Multiplayer as well as viewing and uploading scores on the base game leaderboards. If you would like to play modded multiplayer, you need the Beat Together and MultiQuestensions mods, which enables cross-play between PC and modded Quests and allows for custom songs to be played. The mod can be found in the Beat Saber Modding Group in #quest-mods or on the Questboard site.

To get leaderboards on custom songs and to be able to get Performance Points (PP) from ranked songs you need the ScoreSaber mod. This link will take you to the ScoreSaber page to set it up. ScoreSaber does not replace the base game leaderboards, it only adds leaderboards for custom songs.

Note: Check the updates channel in the ScoreSaber Discord to see if the mod is available for the current game version.

Requirements

• An Android Phone or Android Tablet.
  • iPhones or iPads are NOT supported
• A paid Version of Beat Saber on the Oculus Quest Store
• A Cable to connect your Quest to your Phone (If your phone charges over USB C the charger that was included with your Quest should work)
• An up-to-date browser. It's recommended that you update/install the latest version of Google Chrome.

  WARNING

  Firefox will NOT work with MBF as it does not support accessing devices via USB. You will need a Chromium browser.

I have no Credit Card

Original Source.

So please note that you have to create a second account (Oculus developer account) and then add your Facebook profile to the organization created. It is a bit harder.

TIP

If you have a friend who has a organization you can ask them to add you so you do not have to make a new account. If so, tell your friend to follow the steps in Add yourself to the organization using your Facebook account instead.

Create a New Developer Account

1. Go to the sign up page for Oculus developers and click Create an Unmerged Oculus Developer Account.
2. Fill in all required information.
3. Verify with the email you got sent and log in again with the account you created.
4. Go to the verify page and set up Two Factor Authentication.

Create New Organization

After you did that head to the Oculus Dashboard and create a organization with almost any name you want.

Add Yourself to the Organization

After you created your Organization you have to add your Facebook profile to your Organization by Selecting your Organization in the drop down and then clicking on Members. There you add a new Member with the Role Admin and put in the Username of your Facebook profile. After that, click add and the user should be added.

Enable Developer Mode in the Oculus App

You should now be able to enable the developer mode in the Oculus app on your smartphone.

   TIP

   You will be notified at this stage if your browser is incompatible with ModsBeforeFriday.

3. Tap your device and click the Connect button. Wait a few seconds for the next page to load.

No Compatible Devices

If no devices show up in the list, then you're experiencing an issue where the Quest doesn't know whether to consider itself as the host for the USB connection.

This can be fixed by swiping down from the top of your screen and tapping the following message:

You will then be met by a screen a bit like what's below:

• If USB controlled by is already set to Connected device as in the picture, tap This device, then tap Connected Device again.
• If Connected Device is This device, just tap Connected device to update the preference.

TIP

If you're told that the setting could not be changed, try using your cable the other way around. (Quest end in your phone, phone end in your Quest.)

Patching

4. At the next page, tap Mod the app to install mods/setup your game for custom songs. (See screenshot of page below)

   WARNING

   Make sure you read all of the advice that MBF provides you about the risks of using mods.
