Age of Joy - How to get and deploy cabinets assets
Get and deploy cabinets assets
To copy cabinets to your headset, you’ll need a Sidequest working installation with access to your Quest 2.
- Download cabinet assets from itch.io (or Discord) and decompress the Asset Pack file (a zip file) in a folder in your computer, you should get some zip files like
galaga.zip
. You can also download individual cabinets from Discord (no need to decompress). Each zip file are the instructions to deploy a cabinet in the game. - Exit the game in the headset. Copy the zips files cabinets that you want to the
/sdcard/Android/data/com.curif.AgeOfJoy/cabinets
path using Sidequest. - Run the game again, it should detect the new cabinets and deploys them in a room, search them.
Remember: cabinets have two parts,
- Cabinet Model: Consider a piece of wood furniture that is unpainted and has the shape and components of an arcade cabinet.
- Cabinet assets: is a zip file that contains the side art stickers, bezels, marquees, and so on, as well as a description file that describes how to paint, how to place the stickers, marquee color light, tv (crt) position, the video to play on the screen when nobody is playing, etc.
ROMs
To play the games, you’ll also need the ROMs compatible with MAME. Copy them to /sdcard/Android/data/com.curif.AgeOfJoy/downloads
. If not, you can still run the simulation but not play the games.
Alternatively you can save your ROM for different cores using this pattern: /sdcard/Android/data/com.curif.AgeOfJoy/downloads/<core>/
to separate your [[ROM]]s in different cores. For example: /sdcard/Android/data/com.curif.AgeOfJoy/downloads/fbneo/myrom.zip
👮🏼♂️ Some ROMs are copyrighted material, check it on the internet.
There are a MAME 2003-Plus Reference: Full Non-Merged Romsets on internet.
To verify that the ROM you possess is the correct version use this toolto obtain the MD5 Hash. Compare the obtained hash to the registered hash in the database. If they match, you have the same ROM that was used for testing the game.

Heads up some of your links are broken,
- Rom Compatability Databse link is down
- MD5 Hash link leads to Moon Patrol game
Thank you for the heads-up!
I really encourage you to visit our discord, where the “big stuff” is.
I have seen some dedicated cabinets such as Taito Egret machines Dragon Balz and light gun games cabinets. How do I obtain the cabinets/assets for these types of cabinets please. It would be great to get hold of these please.
Thpse cabinets are made by the discord community. I would suggest to go to discord and ask for the cabinets that you want. The link is in the AGE of joy main page, here in itchio.
