Lost all games & rides switching from Oculus to Pimax-Can I get them back?

[Blitzen]

Slightly OT.When I bought the first version of Oculus ,it came with several different rides, movies & games,plus I downloaded a few more.I used it ,of course , mainly to play BoX.Lat year I switched to Pimax 5K and have been a happy camper eventually selling my used Oculus. Unfortunately I lost all of the various rides etc.( mostly roller coaster of one kind or another , but also a very good recreation of a Lancaster raid on Berlin,”Blitz on Berlin.” I have guests coming & I’d like to show them some of the features of VR that were featured in the now lost games.My question is is there anyway to get them back.Pimax unlike Oculus is supported by Steam,and I really don’t know if similar or the same games ,rides & movies are available free or for purchase.Sometime ago I did a quick search of Steam Store and found primarily for purchase full games but none of the shorter rides that were easily available from Oculus. Perhaps they are available elsewhere ...I just don’t know where to look .Of course they should be compatible with the wider view features of Pimax 5K.

Thanks in advance.

 You might be able to get purchased games from Oculus to run using Revive, but am not sure and I know Revive works for some and has issues with others. Maybe someone in here that has used Revive along with Pimax can expand on that. I would think the purchased content from Oculus would still reflect in your Oculus Library. It is tied to your account.

dburne has right, everything is still in your oculus account. Install oculus, and log in with your old account. Ask password reset if necessary. Install revive (and pitool and steam vr). I sold my rift cv1 and I gave my accout with it. After that I made a new account for myself, just to see again Bliz on Berlin, with Pimax 5k+ Also, I have some cracked games for rift, and revive might help me with that, once when my pimax sword controllers come.

Ok I did all suggested:logged in to my old Oculus Account( couldn't do any thing more without the headset that i sold sometime ago...) downloaded & installed Revive. Logged into Steam & updated same.Now that i am here I'm not sure what to do next to get the old games back? I could download a couple of free games( Blitz on Berlin,it works but a bit dark( maybe Pitool could help with this?) a Roller Coaster sim that is frozen upon opening and another sim that requires hand controllers,so a no-go with Pimax,) all through the Steam Store,but my old rides 7 games are no where to be seen..So ideas?

?I don't understand what the problem is.

 

You can access most of your Oculus games through PiTool as well. Check the "My Games" tab. There is also a button that says "Import", so you can pick any if the automatic search function doesn't find them (it always finds them on my end). I am using Index Controllers, Vive Wands work as well.

Funny - I just tried this before I got your post and the utility says 'No Oculus games here"...Perhaps when i uninstalled Oculus after deciding on Pimax 5K I lost all games there???

[SCG_Fenris_Wolf]

But... buuut,... You don't uninstall the Oculus games and then keep them too. How would that work ! ?

 

P.S. Oculus Software = Oculus games. It's as if you would uninstall Steam, and then expected the Steam games to still work. ?

I think this must be the issue;they are simply gone.I guess I thought they might have been saved somewhere other than my PC...maybe by Oculus .I thought by signing into my old Oculus Account as i did yesterday , the games what come back or be available to be transferred through Revive...

[SCG_Fenris_Wolf]

No, they are bound to the Software. You need to keep the Oculus Software installed, so the Oculus Games stay installed as well. I am afraid you'll need to redownload them.
