How It Works 1. Export or obtain a supported RPG Maker MV/MZ game package that you have the right to use. 2. Import the archive from the Files app. 3. Select the game in your library. 4. Play locally, translate dialogue, manage saves, and edit supported save data. Important Notes RPG Pocket does not include commercial games. You must provide your own legally obtained RPG Maker MV/MZ game files. Compatibility depends on each game's export format, plugins, encryption, audio assets, and custom save structure. Some custom games, plugins, or save formats may not be fully supported. Dialogue translation requires iOS 18 or later and a supported language pair. Translation availability may vary by device, system language, and installed language models.
