RPGEmu for RPG Maker MV/MZ/XP

in previous version, rotate the iPhone may crash the XP game, now we fixed the bug ( Note: some XP game is very old, you may still need to rotate your iPhone to landscape firstly, then, start the game, this will make sure Ruby VM get the correct rendering size, some game may cache the size in disk file, you may need to start from landscape twice to reset the cache, anyway, for some very old game, start from landscape again and again should solve the issue, if not, feel free to contact with us via tutorial page's email address). fixes some bugs in non-UTF8 game.zip, indeed, we tested the game, found the assets is there, while engine could not find it as file name encoding error, now we fixed the error. (Note: you need to import your game.zip into RPGEmu again to fix the error, if the game is ok, just keep it as it is, if the game is broken, try to import the game.zip into RPGEmu again, you maybe surprised the bugs disappeared, as we enhanced the file name encoding logic, such as .utf8, .ascii, .shiftJIS, .EUC_KR, .big5, .GB_18030_2000 all are ok now). update the tutorial page for virtual keyboard's layout and virtual keyboard' key map. add a close button for view source code sheet UI, to align with the newest design guidance. add a "Tap to Start" for MV/MZ(some users still tell us the audio is muted, and some game does need the user to tap the game screen firstly too, so we think adding the UI layer to start the game will be a good experience, please kindly note, some visual novels may need you tap the game screen always, or else it may throw permission error, though the case is very rare to happen, if you see audio permission error for MV/MZ, please tap the screen, hide the virtual keyboard, some old game strictly check your finger tap). (Note: If you are the first time using the app, you had better to read our tutorial page at least once, it will help you enjoy your RPG Maker games more smoothly).

fixes some known issues optimized the app's asset size

fixed many known issues such as when play some XP games, throw json lib error, current version will fix the bug such as some MV games black screen, switch to Desktop mode, change its GL render mode may fix the error though we could map [Up/Down/Shift/Ctrl] to any keyboard key in previous version, the display name does not change in virtual joystick mode, now we fixed the bug, so you can clearly see the key is mapped to which key. enhanced the low resolution mode, indeed, when MV games try to load many big PC images (4096x4096), game may crash immediately, when it happened, switch to low resolution mode, will downscale the image to 1/2 of its original size, I have tested some games, after we switched to low resolution mode, it is ok to play then (note: if the game is ok to play, never switch to Desktop mode or Low resolution mode, these two options are only for the case which the game could not be played, black screen, or crashed, you have no way to play the game, then you can try Desktop mode or Low resolution mode, and low resolution mode will only downscale the large images, we have set the min pixel size for it, when the size reaches 1024x1024, will not downscale any more. Kindly note the two options are trying to give you a chance to play those unplayable games on the fly, they are not a guarantee, if finally you have no way to play the game still, never hesitate to contact with us, our email address is on the app's tutorial page.) for most of MV games which crashed with high resolution images, lower resolution 1 time is ok to run, if crashed still, you may need to lower resolution 3-4 times then, I have tested one MV game which includes many 4096x4096 images, after lower resolution 4 times, it successfully runs in RPGEmu finally. For another 2 MV games which only includes some 4096x4096 images, just lower resolution 1 time is ok to run, we could not test all games, when you find your games not worked in RPGEmu, feel free to let us know. add compatibility for ruby 1.9, which old XP games will require it make virtual joystick a little larger, to avoid when moving player suddenly tapped the game screen (if you preferred ESC/Enter on right side, please switch to virtual joystick, or else, default keyboard will be fine, you can always adjust its opacity in settings too) note: we recommend that you switch to virtual joystick always, as when the game is 8-direction move design, default 4-direction [WASD] will be a little trouble to move the player, virtual joystick can work on both 4-direction and 8-direction very well. add a global option for virtual joystick, if you turned it on in settings, no matter you switched to virtual joystick mode or not, the keyboard will be virtual joystick always.

added app local language support for many countries though the product display page is English, once you installed the app, you could use the app with your local language in most cases fixes some known issues

enhanced the game audio, especially when you put the app in background, then bring it into foreground, in previous version, the audio will be muted, now, after our hard working, the web audio is very similar with the native audio, it will resume playing now. however, if you leave the app long time, the built-in server maybe shut down, that's unexpected error, just save the game progress, reboot the app, continue the game will be fine. for some tutorial text, we used the iOS 18 translation API, just download the translate model, enjoy the local language then.

fixes some known issues. Kindly note: [1]. RPGEmu works on 90% RPG Maker MV/MZ games, 50% RPG Maker XP/VXAce/VX games. [2]. If you buy the app just for playing RPG Maker XP/VXAce/VX games, please consider your game titles may just not work in RPGEmu, you had better to send us email inquiry whether your game title worked or not before you buy. If you could accept to play MV/MZ games at the app's price, just get RPGEmu then. [3]. So, if you are only the fans for RPG Maker XP/VXAce/VX games, this app maybe not suitable for you. [4]. RPGEmu is good at RPG Maker MV/MZ games, while for RPG Maker XP/VXAce/VX games, it could play only some games. [5]. Never expect that RPGEmu could play all games, even if the game is created with RPG Maker MV/MZ/XP tools. [6]. The rest 10% or 50% games maybe just what you would like to play, we hope that before you decide to pay for the app, you have already known about this. [7]. You could contact with us via email: [email protected], we will try to help you solve the issues. [8]. If you are worry about whether you could play "...Titles" game, what you should do? (a). send us email, we will confirm whether the game is ok, only buy the app once we confirmed the game is ok to play. (b). simply just do not buy the app. [9]. Anyway, it is one-time paid app, we will update the app once and once, will not charge from you anymore, we think there are no reasons to uninstall the app, and we will always try our best to make your game titles be able to play in RPGEmu. [10]. If you have no RPG Maker MV/MZ/XP game titles in hand, please do not install the app, as RPGEmu does not supply any games, it is an empty tool [only bundled with 3 very basic demo games], you need to put your game titles in [Files App] firstly, then you can import those titles into RPGEmu.

enhanced the game audio experience on iPhone in previous version, we solved the issue that audio will be unexpected muted on the iPad, however, that's not enough, when on the iPhone, the issue is still there, this version will fix this bug still, as WKWebView limitation, when you leave the app long time, you must save the game progress, restart the app to continue the game progress in this version, we also put the game control button upper than before when you are in landscape mode (only for the iPhone), we think it is necessary, or else the RPG text content maybe obscured by the controller. Added the "F3" key, it will help you make the game's rendering is correct, so that you can play the game more smoothly.

add support for exporting and importing game save file detail: you could export the current game save file, then load the game save file back situations you maybe need this feature as follow: 1. you export the game save file from iPad, and send the file to your iPhone, once the game is the same game, you could load the save file back at your iPhone 2. you could even load the save file generated by other apps, once the save file is RPGEmu expected format (.zip, and after extracted, the file should be global.rpgsave, file1.rpgsave, file2.rpgsave...) The new feature will help you continue the game progress without playing the game from beginning again.

added support for .rar game file now you could import .rar game file or .zip game file once you downloaded them with Safari please note, make sure you downloaded .zip or .rar is windows pc version, other platform version maybe not work fixes some known issues notes: If you think the game file is a RPG Maker MV file, and RPGEmu should be able to play it, while the emulator could not, do not hesitate to let us know by sending email(what we need is 1.game file or game file download link, 2. how to get the issues) before you do this, please make sure you are using the latest version

Enhanced the game save logic, now it will be saved progress when the app goes into background or you explicit pressed "Exit The Game" button (of course, you must save the game into File firstly from the game part "save"). Notice: this app is for RPG Maker MV games only, RPG Maker has many products, try other RPG Maker games which not MV will get no luck. Anyway, there're still many games made with RPG Maker MV, just enjoy it!

fixes some known issues. built with Xcode 26, some UI will be Liquid glass style. enhanced the app's support for large game.zip file.

fixes some known issues. enhanced the app's compatibility for more games. notice: 1. when your mv game includes .webm codec is not [vp9, vp8, av1], the game import process will need more time to finish. 2. we find MZ Game may try to play video before user tap gesture, which is not allowed in modern web page, so we blocked the video to play before user tap the web page, you will see a black screen when you opened the game, follow the tip displayed, try to tap the black screen, you may need to tap the edge of the screen, after you tapped the black screen, the game should start to play, we have tested some games, try to tap the screen edge or center, all of them played ok.
