I'm trying to convert an MZ RPG game to mac, and have always used RPG_Maker_MV_v1.6.2_Mac_OS_X to convert to Mac for MV games. No problems for a many games. Is there an equivalent for MZ?

If you put this file inside the www folder , launch it using RPG Maker MZ , you will be able to access the project from the MZ software ( some plugins may break )

Otherwise , using the method I showed will run both MZ and MV games as if they are made in MZ. You can also use NWJS from the website.

But the game downloads for MZ do not have a www folder. Trying to make this as non-intrusive as possible without a lot of other additions...

I didn't have anything better to do so I made a zsh script to automate this process for you and produces an "my_game.app" package from a `my_game/` RPGM folder.

Thanks for that Script. Awesome work =) I was planning to something similar as a tool but that solution from you just works. Highly respect that and thank you for sharing.

I would like to add 2 small instructions:

Precondition:
- You need to have Python3 installed
- After installing python, make sure to go in /Applications/Python3 and Run Install Certificates.command (simply double click it) (if you don't run this, Python will not be able to verify the TLS Certificate)

Without this, the scipt will not get the current NWJS version and will fail
