RPG maker launcher for MacOS/OSX [3.3.3]

its... AMAZING!!!!

Announcement
v3.3.1 has been released!

Changelog:
Fixed bug where selecting the game folder as the destination folder during a standalone export caused an infinite loop.

Which versions of iOS and MacOSX have you tested?

Thanks for the launcher. It helps me play most rpgmaker games on macOS. I once tried with crossover but all the games are just with blank boxes, just like the screenshot. Could you maybe help me with this issue? I've searched myself but can find any solution.

Then I try to run a game called "Half-demon shinobi". It is rpgm game, but can't run with your launcher. The second screenshot show all its files. Could you maybe also find the reason or even fix it? Thanks again!

If needed I could send you the whole game folder for testing.

It's likely packaged as an enigma vb app seeing that the game.exe file is over 100 mb. A Legally Gray method for unpacking it is by renaming game.exe to game_en.exe and checking "Extract game_en.exe" on the launcher.


Since you are unpacking the assets for Personal Use it should be fine but if you start distributing it then it's piracy and copyright infringement.

Btw this is not legal advice.

I don't test or make the launcher on iOS. I use the latest version of macos for intel based macs. Right now it's 26.0

Edit: in the past I've gotten one game working on ios 16 with capacitor js

Announcement
A poll has been posted to see the distribution between Intel and Apple Silicon users!

Please take a moment to vote!

Thank you very much for this great application. It has been working perfectly fine for most rpg games except for tower of trample.

When ever I try to use this app to open tow, it always pops up a Z-universal icon and return this error. Is there any solution to fix it?

Thanks in advance

There seems to be an issue with the ruby scripts for the game. I don't really know ruby, so you are better off asking the people at: https://github.com/mkxp-z/mkxp-z

They maintain mkxp-z and know a lot more about the game engine.

Announcement
v3.3.2 has been released!

Changelog:
Fixed bug where cheat menu would sometimes cause datamanager error

Hi!
Since I wasn't able to find any videos on how to use this thing I made a tutorial for it!
Hopefully anyone looking for how to use RM games on Mac might pick it up and use your launcher.

Thanks! and good luck with developing Project: NDE!

so appreciate your efforts,that means a lot.
I always wonder why rpgmaker series engine do have macos version on steam etc, but still a lot of games based on them do not support macos, now, there's no need wondering any more.
However, i got question that do this launcher support action game MV?

TLDR: Maybe in Xenolauncher: https://github.com/m5kro/Xenolauncher. However, it's going to take a while.

Action game MV and its predecessor, Pixel Game Maker MV, are kind of weird in the RPG maker lineup. Very few developers actually used PGMMV since regular MV and MZ are way better. There was some support for it on the Nintendo switch, but apart from that, there isn't much cross compatibility. Some people have made an open source launcher: https://github.com/GGGweb-adm/PGMMV, but it may take some work to get it working, and it doesn't support encrypted assets.

On the other hand, Action Game Maker MV is just a reskin of Godot 2D, so getting it to work on Mac "should" be relatively easy. Godot support is already planned for Xenolauncher, so I'll release it there.

Hello, I need some advice. I downloaded Radiant Victorias v1.0.2 and can't launch the game through the Launcher. I get this message: No valid game file (package.json, Game.ini, or RTP_RT) found in the selected folder. The game folder only contains the Radiant Victorias.exe file. Any advice?

Assuming the game really is made using RPG Maker, it is likely packaged with Enigma VB or something similar. A Legally Gray method for unpacking it is by renaming Radiant Victorias.exe to game_en.exe and checking "Extract game_en.exe" on the launcher.

Since you are unpacking the assets for Personal Use it should be fine, but if you start distributing it, then it's piracy and copyright infringement.

If this method does not work, then the game isn't packaged with Enigma VB, or it isn't an RPG Maker game.

Announcement

MKXP-Z has been updated to the "latest" version

Other notes:
You may now launch XP, VX, and VX Ace games from the downloads folder

Announcement
Xenolauncher has been released!
Check it out for a more versatile launcher!

Are there instructions? I try to start the game and nothing happens.

Hi, I assume you are trying to launch a MV or MZ based game, a new update has just been released for those. MacOS 26.2 broke some things.

You may need to remove and re add the game.

An instruction video will be posted soon.
Edit:

Hello, Im trying to launch a VX Ace game but i dont know how to fix this error. Ive attached the error log to this post.

Edit: Forgot to add on this post but the game is Ennards Valiant Expedition.
Edit2: Problem resolved.
