Play MZ, MV, XP, VX & VX Ace
Free · In‑App Purchases
ArkRPG is an RPG Maker game player built for iPhone and iPad. Import game files you own and enjoy RPG Maker MZ, MV, XP, VX, and VX Ace titles wherever you go.
ArkRPG rebuilds the runtime, rendering, input, and resource pipeline for mobile devices while adding game management and controls designed for touch screens.
**Core Features**
**Five RPG Maker Generations**
Play games made with RPG Maker MZ, MV, XP, VX, and VX Ace. Version 2.0 introduces an RGSS runtime for classic titles on iPhone and iPad. Compatibility may vary because games can use different scripts, plugins, and assets.
**High-Performance In-House RGSS Engine**
ArkRPG is powered by mkios, an in-house RGSS engine built for iPhone and iPad, with a native Metal multi-frame rendering pipeline and AVFoundation/CoreAudio audio system that integrate directly with Apple platforms to process graphics and audio efficiently. Built-in Ruby 1.8, 1.9, and 3.1 compatible runtimes select the appropriate environment for XP, VX, VX Ace, and modern XP forks, while ongoing RGSS1/2/3 compatibility work covers graphics, input, audio, archives, and legacy script behavior.
**Flexible, Reliable Import**
Import folders, ZIP, RAR, and 7z archives, compatible APK game packages, and password-protected archives. ArkRPG detects the game directory and engine automatically.
**RGSS Runtime Assets**
If an XP, VX, or VX Ace game requires RTP assets, download or import the matching runtime package directly from Settings instead of locating missing files one by one.
**Controls for Touch and Gamepads**
- Custom virtual controls with adjustable layouts, sizes, opacity, and function keys
- Keyboard presets for saving and switching control schemes
- Support for compatible iOS game controllers
- Mouse and touch emulation for games that rely on clicks, right-clicks, or wheel input
**MTool JSON Translation Files**
Load JSON translation files generated by MTool. ArkRPG continues to improve text matching across menus, multiline dialogue, and different plugin environments.
**iCloud Save Sync**
Supported MZ and MV games can sync saves between iPhone and iPad through iCloud, with conflict handling and manual sync controls. Cloud save sync is not currently available for XP, VX, or VX Ace games.
**Local Game Management**
Manage covers, titles, control presets, translation files, and runtime options in one place. ArkRPG can convert mobile-incompatible video formats such as WebM during import and resume unfinished processing.
**Localized Interface**
The app interface supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
