Is it possible to develop a vr mod for the hl2 beta?

[BlackRev]

since the first time I saw how Retail HL2 got a vr mod, i had this question in my mind. And, before you start replying, i want you to know that Yes, i am aware that the leak/beta engine is buggy af.
Going back to the subject of this post, the question is, as you read in the title, "Is it possible to develop a vr mod for the HL2 Beta?"
Again, i understand how much a developer of a mod like this, would struggle trying to make vr work into the (...broken) Beta Engine . I also understand that the engine that was leaked in 2003 and eventually fixed by fans, still (obviousley) isn't as modern and updated as the most recent SDK of the Source Engine, Source Engine 2013.
Still, i'd like to know other's opinion on my "idea"  (which as said before, since the engine is broken and outdated, it cannot become an actual thing.)

If they made a vr mod for the retail engine, why not the beta engine?
They are mostly identical, with a few.... major changes

May be we can start any source mods on hl2 VR like common hl2? Is it possibe to start by this such command line    "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2 VR\hl2vr.exe" -game "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\sourcemods\hl2_2003\" 
 this must work if the enjine version similar.... What if another way  put beta maps to hl2vr

Out of luck buddy. Not only do the models work differently, but there are entire maps and chapters missing. If you're looking for "HL2VR for Beta : The Full Story Experience", it's not possible (yet). However, you can convert beta maps and models using some programs, Google it if you're up for the task, but you'd need to code everything, and also make them.work in VR too. Big hassle that's not worth it, unless some madlad makes a VR compatible Beta mod.

It can be done, but such affronts to nature extract a heavy toll.

better idea for ya, when half  life 2 rtx comes out, stuff that in the beta, then it may be dark n gritty with style. You would need to do the same thing, and port them over to retail first, but remember to upgrade models as they dont work in retail
