I haven't :\Garnet X Have you found a similar recipe for the newer RPGM MZ platform? I read it's Mac-compatible too...

I think it is possible by using mkxp.I don’t think it’s possible, unless you run some sort of emulator
i know you posted this forever ago but is there a tutorial on how to set up virtualbox like that. or have you found a better way to do this?There is a possibility for non MV RPGM. There is aYou must be registered to see the links.
For RPGM MV there is also a possibility, but I don't know how to.
But the best way is to use a VMWare / Parallel /virtualBox virtualization.
I've installed a virtualized and very light Windows 7 (with VMWare), without internet connection, and it's really perfect. I play all the games this way (RPGM, Ren'Py, Unity...) and it helps not to be the mess in the Mac (mid-2012 MacBook Pro).
I would say, there's no better wayi know you posted this forever ago but is there a tutorial on how to set up virtualbox like that. or have you found a better way to do this?
thank you!I would say, there's no better wayActually, it depends on your computer and the OS you use.
With new OSes that refuse 32-bit apps and M1 chips that prevent the virtualization of a "classic" Windows or the use of BootCamp, it becomes quite complicated.
And when I saw that my next computer should have an AMD graphics card, an M1 chip, a notch on the screen and that it would be even more difficult than before to install unapproved apps, I took a PC... Yep, I know, I'm not a gamer
So, back to your question.
virtualization or bootcamp, if you have an Intel CPU. I don't have a tutorial to recommend, but there must be plenty on youtube. Once you have chosen which engine to use (VMWare/Parallel/...), you just need an iso image of Windows.
XP is really too old, I found that Windows 7 x64 works well, without being too heavy.
As effective alternatives, for RPGM MV I found that RPG Maker MV v1.62 Linux Mac and Windows works pretty well. The explanations are more complicated than the work to be doneBut if you need to unpack and/or decrypt the game, I think you'll have to go through Windows to do it...
For Renpy, the best an easier way is How To Create A 'Mac' Version Of Any Ren'Py Game. One of the advantages is that you can run (almost) all the old 32-bit games (Renpy 7.3.5 and earlier) in 64-bit (Renpy 7.4.0 and later).
But all this was valid 2 years ago, on a Macbook Pro superdrive under Mojave (10.14). Now it's a mystery, especially with these M1 chips.
For example ?hi, i just can't make rpgm games run when the package.json file is outside of the www folder, could anyone help me?
thanks for the reply, this one for exampleFor example ?
This is easy to fix. After copying the package.json file to the www folder, open it with Textedit and change the next two lines:thanks for the reply, this one for example

the folder looks like this, the package.json file isn't in the www folder, and including it in it before putting it in the nwjs app doesn't work
you're a lifesaver, thanksThis is easy to fix. After copying the package.json file to the www folder, open it with Textedit and change the next two lines:
"main": "www/index.html" should become "main": "index.html" and
"icon": "www/icon/icon.png" should become "icon": "icon/icon.png"
In other words, remove both instances of www/ in the json file and save. Nwjs will now look in the right places when reading the package.json file.
(All credit for this fix should to Garnet X for his post here: https://f95zone.to/threads/ways-to-run-rpgm-games-on-mac.6056/post-402335)
The game base is the nwjs app you downloaded in the first step.what is the "game base" that you mention? I'm guessing it's not the game.exe because the show package contents option isn't there when I right click.
Two common problems that may arise on Mac are these:It doesn’t run, it just says that it is damaged and should be moved to trash.
If you see that grey screen, you're on the right track. It means the nwjs app is working. Now you can put in the game files from the PC version. Continue with step 2 of the tutorial made by Garnet Xturns out it was quarantined and I was able to get rid of the error. However when I open it, despite it working, it just shows a grey screen that says Nw.Js and not the game.
Did the www folder you renamed to app.nw include a package.json file, or was that file outside of the www folder, like here https://f95zone.to/threads/ways-to-run-rpgm-games-on-mac.6056/post-10199659 for example ?the app.nw folder is in the resources folder and it still shows that.
We're running a bit in circles here. At the moment I'm not at my mac, but if you can give me the following information I'll have a closer look at it later on the day.ok I reinstalled nwjs to try again and now it just says it quit unexpectedly instantly as soon as I try to open it.
That's might be the case. Did you check which version the game was made with ?I was trying to play scars of summer on macos ventura 13.5. I downloaded nwjs 0.80.0 mac osx 64 bit from nwjs.io. I have an apple silicon processor. I think that running it on an earlier version of nwjs works but for some reason 0.80 doesn’t
edit: just tried 0.79.0 too and it doesn’t work but 0.51.1 does so…
Then I would advice to download that version and try with that. It works with Montery, so probably with Ventura too.yeah that said 1.6.1.
yeah that said 1.6.1.
I tested it with nwjs v.0.29 and it works under Montery. Crashed a few times at start up first, but I'm not surprised by that when it comes to RPGM games. Save often once you got it running.Then I would advice to download that version and try with that. It works with Montery, so probably with Ventura too.
1.6.1 correspondents with v.029You must be registered to see the links
After unzipping, best check for quarantine again before putting in the app.nw folder.
