What's New in Runa

1.3.2

August 6, 2026

NEW - Turbo for RPG Maker XP, VX, and VX Ace. Tap the new Turbo button while playing to switch between 2×, 3×, and 4× speed. No setup required. - Smarter key remapping. The key editor now shows each key's in-game action (Action, Field Notes, Mute, and more) instead of just the keyboard key. - Disable touch controls in MV/MZ games. Prevent accidental tap-to-move while using the virtual gamepad. Configure it globally or per game, and change it anytime while playing. - Improved virtual gamepad customization. Buttons now display their assigned key, and custom buttons can be freely moved anywhere on screen. IMPROVED - RPG Maker MZ games that previously opened to a black screen now launch correctly. - Fixed RTP asset loading so a game's own graphics, music, and fonts always take priority over the RTP. - Fixed missing or incorrect map tiles in games with very large tilesets, including many Pokémon fan games. - Fixed parallax, fog, and panorama backgrounds failing to render correctly. - Fixed garbled text affecting accented Latin, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters in menus and choice windows. - Improved compatibility with heavily customized RPG Maker XP games. - Fixed crashes that could occur when displaying the first message window, accessing game files, handling filenames with different capitalization, or reporting in-game script errors. - Improved game detection during import, allowing more games to be imported automatically. - Fixed an issue where hiding the virtual gamepad also hid the Runa menu in XP, VX, and VX Ace games. - Additional compatibility, rendering, and stability improvements across all supported RPG Maker engines.

游戏有些加载后能玩,有些不能玩;能玩的游戏中途还闪退

感谢您的反馈!部分 RPG Maker 游戏使用了自定义脚本或插件,可能会导致兼容性问题。如果方便的话,请通过 Settings → Support 中的支持邮箱或 Discord 告诉我游戏名称(或发送一份游戏文件)。我会检查问题,并尽力在后续更新中提升对该游戏的兼容性。谢谢! ------------ Thanks for your feedback! Some RPG Maker games use custom scripts or plugins that can cause compatibility issues. If you could send me the game name (or a copy of the game if possible) through the support email or Discord in Settings → Support, I'll take a look and do my best to get it working in a future update.

Some flaws

Needs a super speed mode feature. It also lacks the ability to switch save files.

Response from developer
