Is there a way to disable Google VR without having to start OpenLara?
Whenever I tap the icon to open it, the game crashes. There is a message saying something about Google VR, but it disappears quickly. By the way, all the files and folders are in their default locations.
Thanks in advance!

First: Outstanding work on this! Smoothest running version ever. It's so nice to be able to play without running 27.5 DOS/Gamepad wrappers and emulators, and this looks great...and that 60+ FPS!!!? Joy!

It was crashing on me when I tried to launch it using my old PSX CD files, but I acquired some different PSX files from the link a few pages back, and now it works fine. It appears just copying the PSXDATA, FMV, etc. folders directly from my original 26 year old Playstation CD does not work for some reason, not for me anyway. Using the files from my PC version + the audio tracks ripped from my PSX CD worked fine. Go figure.

Anyway, got it working, and it looks great, but I find it "unplayable" due to the controls. They're just way too slow, unresponsive, and sluggish compared to the original (which was bad to begin with, but worked flawlessly within the constraints that existed). There seems to be a delay, or wait of some sort required in between each action here. Many times I'll try to do a run-up jump and the jump part just never "goes off" and Lara just runs off a cliff. Same for a back/side flip, she just jumps straight up. Also aiming/targeting is really odd. I have split and retargeting off, and she still targets two baddies at once. Sometimes shoots 8-10 shots before hitting them, sometimes, just one shots them. Very odd combat. In the original, you could use the look button to "zoom in" and target a baddie more accurately then press and hold fire and lock on until the baddie came into view again. In this version doing so switches to first person (and interrupts shooting), which I am not a fan of. Pressing "jump" while in water does not make her "dive" unless you are pressing forward first. Getting out of the water is very hit or miss/slow/delayed. Etc. etc.

Could not get it to run on Linux at all. Missing dependencies? Running it in a terminal showed some info that looked normal, no error, then just stopped.

Excuse me, does anyone know if with Openlara the first Tomb Raider is compatible with FMV in avi and MP4 and ambient and speech sounds in wav and flac format?

xproger, thank you because I was able to play the first Tomb Raider entirely with subtitles in my native language (I'm not English), with some graphical improvements and connected to my CRT. Nostalgia, take me away.

Edit: Sorry, I had received a response from xproger on the github page and didn't notice it.

In Linux I don't know. About Windows I can give you the following informations:
TR II and III are Open Lara compatible. The Last Revelation I don't know but looking on YouTube it seems so. Chronicles I don't know. In theory, yes, because it seems to have been made with the same graphics engine as the previous ones, at most a little better than The Last Revelation. You can find out if The Last Revelation and Chronicles are compatible by installing them and trying to start them with the Open Lara exe. Every day for half an hour I will work on a page of a site that explains how to make the first TR work well. I will thank on the page that I will create Xprogrer and all those who have helped me with guides and advice. By the end of next week I think it will be ready.

Edit: legluondunet, reading the first lines of this guide: https://docs.libretro.com/library/openlara/, it seems that Open Lara works with all first 5 Tomb Raiders.
