Tutorial RPGM Completed How to fix & run japanese RPGM games on android [TESTED]

[leloil]

Hi there, before going any further,let me tell you again that this tutorial is only for android users only and for RPGM games (VX Ace on this one)
I tried this tutorial on myself with and japanese rpgm game and it works just fine.

• NOW LET'S GO TO THE IMPORTANT PART •

Step 1: Go on google and download the latest version of JoiPlay



Step 2: Download the latest RPG Maker Plug-in latest version as well



Step 3: Install both of them like in the ss above ↑

Step 4: Download your japanese RPGM game (choose a VX ACE one) [Zip or Rar)


Step 5: Download RAR and install it


Step 6: Open RAR and give the necessary pemissions

Step 7: DON'T EXTRACT YOUR GAME YET so go to the RAR Settings


Step 8: We need to add a good encode first so tap on that option ↓


Step 9: Choose "Japanese"


Step 10: Extract all

• NOW WE NEED TO SET THE RTP (Run-Time Package so that you can run the game smoothly)

Step 11: Follow these screenshots first then you can go to the rpgmaker website

Step 12: Select "RPG Maker VX ACE"



Step 13: Download the "zip file" [Btw you have there instructions on how to Install it...BUT IT'S FOR PC!!!] Annoying right?,But I know how so no worries.


Here's the website RTP →

You must be registered to see the links

• SADLY THERE'LL BE NO SCREENSHOTS FROM NOW ON BUT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND VERY EASY •

Step 14: You can choose to extract the zip of not but It doesn't matter so the result is the same, so Open JoiPlay and add the game there

Step 15: Tap on the game,you'll see a pop-up there, Regarding RTP

Step 16: Select "CHOOSE" and search for the RTP (VX ACE) you just dowloaded [RTP VX ACE ZIP] or [Setup.exe if you extracted it]

Step 15: Wait until it says It's done and press OK [DO NOT OPEN THE GAME YET]

• NOW EYES HERE,THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT (AND SIMPLE) • If don't do this then all you did just now is worthless

Step 16: Open your settings (your phone settings)

Step 17: Change your location/region to "Japan" (You must search for in settings on your own cuz it depends on device)

Step 18: Go to the clock settings and change your default GMT...Choose Tokyo,Japan GMT +9:00 (or JST if not GMT)

Step 19: Open JoiPlay and run the game [IF IT DIDN'T WORK TO RUN...Go to your "Files" in your game's folder,If you find .nomedia and/or .noscan then delete it]

LAST STEP: ENJOY

I HOPE IT WORKS ON YOUR DEVICE,IF NOT THEN IDK WHAT FIX
Good Luck!

I don't play the Japanese ones, just the translated games, but thanks for the guide anyway. Most of the steps are still applicable for the translated games, btw.

But one thing I want to mention is that on the latest version of Joyplay most RPG MV games turn into a slideshow. I downloaded an earlier version - 1.11.006-patreon and everything is perfect now.

Yeah Guess it needs a hotfix on that regarding MV,anyways thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it and I'm glad everything is working fine

There are jap and eng versions of rtp, joi play doesn't allow to install jap versions, but some games need them.
How to deal with that issue?

Try and extract in UTF-8 Unicode set to japanese,idk if that would work,since those jap version you said that are needed contains licenses, so might as well try,and bypass that

I am sort of necroing a thread here, but since it helped me in unexpected way im gonna do it anyway in hopes of helping someone else too!

I was having issues running this game through JoiPlay:
https://f95zone.to/threads/life-with-a-flirty-step-sister-final-girl-cafe-keytail.222924/

I was getting some weird errors with files handling and i was trying to find any solutions. The game was not asking or needed the RTP package thing so that did not help me, but what DID help me was using RAR to extract files after changing locale to Japanese like instructed here.

So, even if it was not directly addressed this thread still helped me with that extracting in correct locale step. The rest i could just skip since the game worked fine now.
