Note: [1]. RPGEmu is primarily designed to run games created with RPG Maker MV/MZ (referred to as MV/MZ games). [2]. RPGEmu can only run some games created with RPG Maker XP, VX, or VX Ace (collectively referred to here as "XP games"). [3]. If you expect that purchasing this emulator will allow you to play *every* MV, MZ, or XP game, then you should not buy RPGEmu, as it cannot meet such demanding expectations. [4]. Similarly, if you are buying RPGEmu solely to play one specific game and intend to uninstall the app if that game doesn't work, please do not purchase it unless you have already confirmed that the specific game is compatible. [5]. RPGEmu is designed to play a wide range of MV, MZ, XP, VXAce, and VX game packages; it is not tailored to any single specific title. Its value becomes truly apparent the more game packages you have available to play. [6]. If you do not possess any RPG Maker MV, MZ, or XP game assets—or do not know where to download them—please note that files downloaded via Safari are stored in the "Downloads" folder within the "Files" app and can be directly imported into RPGEmu. If you have no assets and no idea how to acquire them, do not install RPGEmu. The app is essentially an empty shell; it comes with only three extremely simple sample games intended for functional testing rather than actual gameplay. You need to provide your own game assets, and RPGEmu will enable you to enjoy them. [7]. Game compatibility reference: https://gzqyl.github.io/rpgemu-compatibility-list (You are welcome to submit a PR to add the titles of games you have successfully played to the list.) Why RPGEmu not others? 1.SwiftUI design, to play or not to play the RPG Maker MV/MZ/XP games is easier than ever 2.Support to add your own Windows PC MV/MZ/XP game.zip into the app, that means you could enjoy your own MV/MZ/XP games on iOS devices 3.Virtual keyboard, sometimes it is not a plus but a must, if you want to go on playing the visual novels Note: When you imported the game zip file, the transfer process may need minutes to finish, please do not leave the app RPGEmu, or else, transfer process will be terminated and app will crash. Do not leave screen that means you should not go to Home Screen or open another APP, you must keep you are on the RPGEmu's screen. Of course, if you have to open another app, that's ok, just open the RPGEmu again, and start to transfer the game zip file from beginning again. This behavior is not a BUG, hope you could understand it. After transfer process finished, you could leave RPGEmu and back to RPGEmu, only when the file is in transferring, you could not leave RPGEmu. The app includes 3 demo games, 1 is MV Demo, 1 is MZ Demo, 1 is XP Demo, please do not expect for the bundled games will be wonderful, they are very basic for demonstrating the app's ability only. RPGEmu gives your a new chance to play those windows games which made with RPG Maker MV/MZ/XP tool on your iPhone or iPad. Though RPGEmu itself does not supply any games, it is not very hard to get "RPG Maker MV/MZ/XP Games". Maybe you have many those game titles on your desktop PC already, just transfer the archive file to "Files App", then you can use RPGEmu load those titles and play them on the go. If you could play those games on your windows pc, it should be ok to play them on your iPhone or iPad. The game was made with RPG Maker MV tool, we call it RPG Maker MV game, or [MV Game]. The game was made with RPG Maker MZ tool, we call it RPG Maker MZ game, or [MZ Game]. The game was made with RPG Maker XP/VXAce/VX tool, we call it RPG Maker XP game, or [XP Game]. Once you installed RPGEmu, you have the ability to play windows [MV Game] / [MZ Game] / [XP Game] on your iPhone or iPad.
