How To Install Custom Songs

SideQuest & BMBF

One of the easiest way to get going is to download SideQuest here

SideQuest is extremely easy to use and supports Windows, Mac and Linux! Think of SideQuest as the “Alternative App Store.” It also makes sideloading apps from APK’s very easy to install.

To request new features or get help, join the SideQuest Discord here or open an issue on Github

Once you have SideQuest installed, you’ll need to install BMBF.

The Unicorns have been hard at work once again, and bring us BMBF for the latest Beat Saber! We at the BSMG have reviewed the source and can confirm it’s 100% safe. Make sure you follow these instructions carefully: Make sure to run Beat Saber UNMODDED FIRST. Then install BMBF. Do this by dragging and dropping the BMBF APK file on the top left corner of Sidequest.

You can find the BMBF 1.8.1 release here for Beat Saber 1.8.0 – 1.9.1 https://bmbf.dev/stable

To install, simply drag it into Sidequest, then launch it from within the TV app on your Quest. BMBF will prompt you through a couple steps and get you all setup to get started!

Managing BMBF on your PC (optional)

To view BMBF on your PC or Mac and manage your songs and mods there, type in your Quest’s IP address along with :50000 at the end. Example:

http://10.0.1.40:50000/ or http://192.168.0.16:50000

To find your Quest’s IP, you can look at the top of Sidequest.

Downloading Mods

There’s a lot of mods to do really fantastic things that you can find in the #quest-mods section of our BSMG Discord. One of the most useful ones is the “mapping extensions” mod by Kyle, Maintained by Rugtveit. This has been updated to 1.8.0 – 1.9.1. Many songs were mapped with this in mind and won’t work unless this mod is installed.

To install mods, either click on the mod download links below from within BMBF, then toggle it on in the BMBF mod section or download it on your PC and drag it into BMBF (See “Managing BMBF On Your PC” above)

Simply drag these mods into BMBF (or click on these links from within BMBF) and enable them in the mods section.

NoteSpawnEffectRemover, Sc2ad Maintained by Pink

What does it do? – Removes the note spawn effect. You know what I’m talking about. The code for this mod is literally 15 lines long (and that’s with comments and explanations) so it’s not on GitHub yet because I am too lazy to either make a new repo or a new project folder just for one mod (forgive me). If you want to see the source code, just DM me and I’ll send you literally all of it, lol. Happy Holidays everyone!

FPS Counter, Rugtveit

What does it do? It enables Frames Per Second counter in standard + 360 levels. It counts lowest fps, highest fps, and current fps. This was inside of a performance test, but now with this mod it’s enabled on all levels.

This mod skips over the health and safety on startup!
