What's New in Runa

1.5.1

October 24, 2026

AUTO TRANSLATE, NOW FOR MORE ENGINES - Auto Translate now works with RPG Maker XP, VX, VX Ace - including Essentials fan games - and Ren’Py, as well as MV and MZ. - Translated text appears as you play, starting from the first launch. - Translation runs on your device with Apple’s Translation framework on iOS 18 or later. NEW - Patch & Update: Update a game or apply a patch from a file. Runa shows what will change before applying it. - Auto-rotate: Games rotate with your device while you play, on every engine. - Mouse clicks by touch: In RPG Maker XP, VX and VX Ace, a two-finger tap acts as a right click; a three-finger tap acts as a middle click. Custom buttons can also be set to left click, right click, middle click or scroll. - Ren’Py menu: Open Game Menu, Auto, Skip, Rollback, Quick Save and Quick Load from the ⋮ menu. - Hidden toolbar: Keep the screen clear and tap the top-right corner to bring the toolbar back. FASTER & SMOOTHER - Import large games directly from Files or a network drive (SMB/NAS), without an extra copy. Imports are less likely to freeze, and the storage check now takes seconds instead of minutes. - MV games run at full speed in Low Power Mode, and Turbo now matches the game’s actual speed. - MV/MZ sound no longer cuts out after switching apps. - Audio files with accented or Japanese names now play correctly. - An edge swipe is less likely to close a game by accident. COMPATIBILITY - Fixed black screens and crashes in several MV, XP, VX, VX Ace and Essentials games, including games with video intros or large plugin sets. - Virtual gamepad controls and taps work again in games with heavy plugin setups. - Ren’Py game detection is more reliable. More games now start, and Runa shows a clear message when a game isn’t supported yet.

Скрытый шедевр?

Первый раз купил случайно,так как увидел что он стоит дешевле своих аналогов,спустя время сравнил две эти приложения и по сравнению они похожи,только там говорят интерфейс удобный(хотя и тут вс к просто и удобно),но она стоит дешевле.При этом тут есть читы если кому-то не хочется гриндить,так и визуальные новеллы скоро будут поддерживать,только заметил что в первый день перевод был,а после сам пропал отовсюду,но это если честно мелочи,считаю лучшей программой для игр данных движков

Really smooth experience

Great app! It worked perfectly with my games and really smooth experience from user. Easy to import the missing RPG Maker cores and start playing. Small improvement to focus on: the 1 run per session and the consequent need to restart the app to play another run of the same game. Anyhow small things, keep doing the great things!

アップデートで大好きなゲームが台無しになりました

前回のアップデート以降、この問題が発生しています。クラッシュではなく、セーブデータは残っており、「つづきから」で再開できます。お願いですから、以前の仕様に戻してください!!

Response from developer

ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありません。ご報告ありがとうございます。ゲーム名と、問題が起きるタイミング、ゲームのタイトル画面とRunaのゲーム一覧のどちらに戻るかを教えていただけますか?「設定」→「診断」からサポート情報をコピーし、設定に記載のメールまたはDiscordからお送りいただけると助かります。次回以降のアップデートで、できるだけ早く対応できるよう努めます。 ---------------------------------- Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for reporting this. Could you send me the game name, when the issue occurs, and whether it returns to the game’s title screen or Runa’s game list? You can also copy the support info from Settings → Diagnostics. Please send it through the email or Discord listed in Settings. I’ll do my best to address this in an upcoming update.

游戏变慢

这个版本解决了游戏没有声音的问题,但部分RPG Maker MV游戏会变慢,像调过速一样,开倍速后与原游戏速度不太一致,影响体验,期待下一个版本修复这个问题

Response from developer

感谢反馈!很高兴这次更新解决了游戏没有声音的问题,也很抱歉部分 RPG Maker MV 游戏出现了变慢、开启倍速后速度不正常的情况。方便的话,请通过 Runa 设置中的邮箱或 Discord,提供出现问题的游戏名称和版本,以及您的设备型号和 iOS 版本。这些信息能帮助我复现问题并排查修复。谢谢您的支持! ---------------------------- Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad the sound issue is fixed, and I’m sorry some RPG Maker MV games are now running slower or at the wrong speed with fast-forward enabled. Could you send me the names and versions of the affected games, along with your device model and iOS version? You can reach me by email or Discord through Runa’s Settings. This will help me reproduce the issue and work on a fix.
