I'm not sure, but that error may mean that your LonaJoiPlay package is not made correctly, or you didn't follow install instructions in joiplay correctly.

On my modified switch running android, I just followed the dev's instruction video on preparing the latest version of the game to run in joiplay and it loads fine, even with Modified Mod Loader, ModGraphicsPath mod (dependency for ExtraLoadingScreens), ExtraLoadingScreens mod, and Modular Cheats Mod.

Steps:
  1. Extract joiplay template.
  2. Extract fresh copy of the game.
  3. Optional Step: Install any mods.
  4. Run game to generate INI files.
  5. Set WRITING_LIST to 1 in GameLona.ini
  6. Run game.
  7. Set WRITING_LIST to 0, COMPRESSED to 1 in GameLona.ini
  8. Compress entire folder into lonarpg.rga (standard .zip file)
  9. Copy lonarpg.rga file to Android SDcard.
  10. Install lonarpg.rga in joiplay.
    • Make sure to use Null RTP.
Attached is the template I used.

P.S: And no, the joycon's don't work with JoiPlay sadly.

It's how you get the game into joiplay without waiting for others to make a download available. The steps will work with any version as long as they are followed correctly.
Also, the text on the russian site may of changed, but the download is not (yet)

What codes? Just change the hotkey from F9 to F8.
Then 1 of the controls on the virtual gamepad will show the menu.
I even updated Modular Cheats Mod to have a joiplay mode that does just that.
The .rga file is just a standard zip file, open it with 7-zip or something, delete the included cheat mod, replace with the updated one into ModScripts/_Mods, open ModScripts/_Mods/Cheats Mod/main.rb and uncomment the line that has $JOIPLAY_MODE = true, save and update the file within the archive, install updated .rga into joiplay.
Whichever control is CR should now open the cheat menu.

In LonaRPG folder, there should be GameMods.ini, it's contents should be:
Code:
[Cheats Mod]
Banned = 0
LoadOrder = 0
You'll also need to make an empty GameCheats.ini (in the LonaRPG folder) so that the toggle cheat states are remembered.
Modular Cheats Mod includes the dependencies.
What does F2 do?
If nothing, goto ModScripts/_Mods/Cheats Mod/mod/lib/530_YanFlyF9.rb and change Input::F8 to Input::F2 (assuming the relevant line of code in ModScripts/_Mods/Cheats Mod/main.rb was uncommented)

P.S: The download for Modular Cheats Mod has been updated with F2 as the menu hotkey in joiplay mode.

Can y'all like make a separate thread for this? This isn't directly relevant to this game and I'm sure someone else would find it more useful than sifting through here.

Are you saying that the game does not work for me because of the "outdated" version of JoiPlay? If so, could you post a link to the current version?
(to download the latest versions, use the download button) or

I'd say it is relevent to this game, there really should be a joiplay package in the extras section so that this stuff doesn't get asked all the time (along with updated links to the rest of the extras)

You can make that package if you want, but those look like fairly general instructions. Hell, the first few posts weren't even about the game, it was about what version they were using.

We updated it already, but the manual is still in Russian, if you can translate it into English (not just you, I mean anyone), I'll add it to the mega cloud. I can, of course, use a translator, but I'm not sure it will translate it correctly. But in any case there is a video there.

I'm aware, I just haven't gone back and edited that comment yet. Google translate seems to translate the manual fine to me. (I used the text translator, not the document translator, not that that should matter)

Also, here's a mod that can infinitely (to an amount) expand the animations that could play while loading (supports images in ModScripts/Graphics)

And I have made (and tested) that package, just gotta upload it. (Note: Some files overlap with the upload over at [of note, the RTP package])

HP. You need to change the F10 keybind in joiplay to F9 and install ModularCheatsMod into _Mods. (Or use my package, has some nice extras)
Nice working better than the russian version and all cheats work

Soo is English translation okay in 7.7.1? I have a 7.6.3 installed, unsure if to update or not ( to start a new game)

Also, the last page indicates it is working on Android too? Does it require a PhD in Computer Science to install or is it plug and play? My last attempt to install a windows emulator on android kinda drowned in readmes and settings
