How to play most RPG Maker MV games on iPad
In this guide ill assume you know how to extract RPG MV games and know how to modify .js files
First of all the things you need.
#1 Supported iPad
#2 An app that allows offline websites (I use "Offline Pages Pro" from the appstore, which is a paid app)
#3 If your going with method 1, (I use "freac - free audio converter" free .ogg to .m4a application)
Before moving the game onto the device we will need to modify the files a bit. There are different ways we can handle it, its up to the user on how they will handle it.
But first of all make sure the games is extract so we can access the \www folder and its .js files.
The first method is converting all audio files to .m4a and replace them with the original files in \www\audio\ i have no idea if the audio will play, because honestly i never play these games with sound. after replacing remember to delete the old files so they wont take up space.
tl;dr
Unpack game
Convert audio files from .ogg to .m4a in \www\audio\
Move .m4a to correct audio folders
Delete .ogg files
Hope it works
The second method is by delete the audio folder. By doing this we need to modify one of the game core files. which is \js\rpg_manager.js, what we need to do is replace some of the functions in the file so that when the game calls for the audio to play it will just send to an empty function.
Before modifying rpg_manager.js make a backup of it.
replace everything between
You can copy and replace the functions from below but i sugguest you manually remove everything from every function between the two tags, and use the example as a guideline
After replacing/removing everything that needs to be removed save the file and test if the game works.
tl;dr
Unpack game
Delete www\audio\
Backup rpg_manager.js
Remove everything in between the AudioManager and SoundManager functions (see spoilers for examples)
Save
Test if it works, if not try again
If it works we can now move the game onto the iPad
I will assume you use Offline Pages as your chosen app to play the games.
first connect your device to your pc or whatever you use, open the shitty application iTunes and go to filesharing on your device. Drag the \www folder of your game into the Offline Pages app, wait for it to complete once done open Offline Pages on your device and test if the game works.
tl;dr
Connect device
Run shitty iTunes
Go to filesharing
And drop the \www folder of the game onto the Offline Pages app
All saves are placed at the same location so you can most likely expect to see a save from game x in game y. This method should also work with any html games, without the need to modify anything at all.
Games i have working:
Thunder Steel Raiouger was done using method 1, everything else was method 2
And that should be it, i hope it works for everyone, feel free to give me feedback on what to improve or if i need to add something. If my instructions isnt very clear please tell me what i can do to make it easier to understand.
