Do you want to play visual novels made by RPG Maker MV on your iPhone or iPad?
If yes, try RPGEmu.
It gives your ability to play windows RPG Maker MV games on the mobile.
Why RPGEmu not others?
1.SwiftUI design, to play or not to play the RPG Maker MV games is easier than ever
2.Support zip files downloaded by Safari directly, that means you do not need to have any windows pc
3.Virtual keyboard, sometimes it is not a plus but a must, if you want to go on playing the visual novels
Notes:
To get the RPG maker MV games, it is really very easy.
You could search "rpg maker mv game free download" by Google.
One of the search result maybe:
https://itch.io/games/tag-rpg-maker-mv
There're many free those games to download, most of them should be ok to play with this app, if it does not, let me know.
RPG maker MV is game framework, so one is ok, another is ok too, as both of them are made with the same tool.
Maybe you have encountered such situation:
When you downloaded a wonderful Visual Novel game from website, you do not want to play it on your windows pc, while you want to play it on your iPhone or iPad.
If the visual novel game is made with RPG Maker MV, you are good to go with this app then.
RPGEmu gives your a new chance to play those windows games which made by RPG Maker MV tool on your iPhone or iPad.
Though RPGEmu itself does not supply any games, it is not very hard to get "RPG Maker MV Games".
I have tried it by myself, just search google, it is really too easy to get many visual novel games which made with "RPG Maker MV".
If you could play those games on your windows pc, it should be ok to play them on your iPhone or iPad.
I noted such kind of visual novel games do heavily depends on keyboard, so I made a virtual keyboard.
Notes: when you see "Press Z to start", you could press "Enter" to start also.
RPGEmu also supports RPG Maker MZ game.
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].
Once you installed RPGEmu, you have the ability to play windows [MV Game] on your iPhone or iPad.
If you also want to play windows [MZ Game] on your iPhone or iPad, you will need to purchase [MZ Function].
[MZ Function] is a non-consume product, once you purchased it, you get the ability to play [MZ Game] on your iPhone or iPad device forever.
You will only need to purchase [MZ Function] when you imported a MZ game file, if no MZ game file, you do not need to pay for [MZ Function].
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.
It works great and functions fine and smoothly, however, there are no sound, I try reinstalling the file over and over but with no results. Is there something I should be doing?
Developer Response
We have tested many games, all of them have sounds, so, could you kindly send us the game download link by email, we will test the game then. BTW, now it is 4.0.3, and you need to press the game, then the music will play as webkit limitations.
Good App But Needs A Fix
Johanna C. Makuchi
App works well and save import/export actually works. Needs a fix on the save feature because when you close the app the saved game disappears so you have to export the save file every time in order to long lose any progress. Recently downloaded another app like this called RPG Viewer but that apps import/export does not function and the games get corrupted. This is a really good alternative although it doesn’t have a cheat feature. The app needs a little work though, we need a feature to delete the rpgmv games through the app. Good application though keep it up.
Developer Response
4.0.3 version is coming soon, and it will solve the game progress automatically save issue, you need to save the game into file from the game part, when you press "Exit the game", it will be saved into disk then, when app goes into background, it will try to save the game also. Do not force kill the app, it will not save anything in that way.To delete the game, just drag the item to slide, you will be able to delete the game, rank the game list.We think cheating will make the game losing meaning, try to unlock the game story by yourself while not cheating to by pass will be better.
It works, but there are some issues.

For me, I’ve decided to try playing some games and I already had issues.First off trying to import save files into the game does not work and outright just deleted any save data you previously had on the game. Also any save data that would have been in the game before being transferred into RPGEmulator does not carry over.Secondly there are times where there will be no audio at all and from what I could research it’s due to some games not being compatible with certain audio engines. Is there anyway for the ability to switch audio engines (SFL/OPENAL/DirectSound/ OpenSLES).Third I could not find where the files for RPGEmu are at. Like I could not find them on the Files App, so it has to be in the app itself which I cannot access.A response back would be nice.

Hello, pc saves do not work on iPhone if you are playing MZ, MV should work fine. audio requires you touch the screen. if issues still exist, feel free to write email to us, email address is on the tutorial page in app.
Really good!
Noók
Tried a ton of games, and most work without nuch hassle, and the on screen keyboard is super good!Big one that isn't compatible like another person said was The Coffin on Andy and LeyLey, its probably one of the most popular RPGM games right now so it'd be cool to get that working, but this app is definitely worth it.

Hello, thanks for your feedback.Could you upload the game.zip to Mega, then send the download link to our email: allen.gzqyl@gmail.com.Once the new version update got approved, we will start to fix the bugs then.
1. add virtual joystick, once switch to virtual joystick ( by long press the game item on the home list), the game control on the screen will be changed to joystick when you play the game
2. optimized the game import speed, will be almost 10x faster than previous version
3. fixes some known issues
Notice: only when you find the game could not be played, such as "black screen", you could try to play the game with "desktop mode" or "low resolution", or else, you just do not need to switch to these modes, it may or may not break the game if you force to use those modes when the game was already ok to play.
The operation could not be revoked when you switch to joystick, desktop mode, low resolution, so we suggest that you could import the game twice or more, just check which mode you would like to go, then delete others before you start to play the game deeply.
Always be aware of that to get the game progress saved into disk, you need to save the game progress from game part firstly, then press "...", press "Exit The Game", then the game progress will be saved into disk.
