THE app

love this app so much

Crashing

Every time I try to play the ren’py game another chance the game crashes 45 seconds into playing I’ve tried deleting the game and the app but it still persists for some reason

Response from developer

Email support@zscripter.com and I will fix this for you!

Importing using a network drive causes it to crash

An Amazing and Free Galgame Emulator!

ZScripter is honestly one of the best Galgame emulators available on iOS! It’s completely free, packed with useful features, and supports an impressive variety of game engines. I really appreciate all the hard work the developer has put into this amazing app. Definitely deserves five stars!

However, I really hope the developer can add support for TyranoScript and CatSystem2 as soon as possible! There are so many great visual novels that use these engines, and I’ve been eagerly waiting to play the Amakano series on my iPhone!

ZScripter is already incredibly powerful, and adding these two engines would make it even better. Please consider prioritizing them in future updates!

Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work! Keep up the amazing work! Five stars!
