Rosetta Gaming 0.65.0-alpha

This alpha introduces two production-ready direct runtime paths, expands engine compatibility, and improves library management and virtual controls.

Highlights

  • Added the Rosetta-owned RGSS direct runner for RPG Maker XP, VX, and VX Ace games. It runs the original game data through bundled mkxp-z, Ruby, and SDL components without Wine or PC Runner.
  • Added native RGSS touch controls and an in-game visual layout editor with draggable controls and persistent per-game profiles.
  • Added native RTP package provisioning in the main app. Official RPG Maker RTP packages can be extracted and installed without Wine, a Windows registry, or cross-APK private-storage transfers.
  • Replaced the separate Godot 4.3 and 4.6 companions with the Rosetta Unified Godot Runtime. One companion now hosts versioned Godot 4.3 and 4.6 payloads.
  • Added transparent desktop texture compatibility for Godot 4.3 games on Android GPUs, keeping the original PCK and game assets unchanged.
  • Added virtual controls to the unified Godot runtime.
  • Added a native libnges compatibility bridge for Ren'Py games that depend on the Windows NGES library.
  • Added an About screen with update checks, licenses, project information, and official links.
  • Added engine filters to the game library.
  • Improved PC Runner startup defaults, rendering compatibility, and virtual control handling.

Runtime architecture

Rosetta keeps each game in its original form. Direct runners interpret engine resources at runtime and store Rosetta configuration, compatibility modules, and reusable runtime data separately from the game whenever supported.

The PC Runner remains the general Windows compatibility fallback. The RGSS, Ren'Py, Godot, RPG Maker MV/MZ, and Kirikiri paths use engine-specific runtimes when available.

Assets

  • rosetta-gaming-0.65.0-alpha-arm64-v8a.apk: recommended main app build for modern 64-bit ARM devices. Includes the RGSS runtime.
  • rosetta-gaming-0.65.0-alpha-armeabi-v7a.apk: compatibility build for older 32-bit ARM devices. Native ARM64 direct runtimes and PC Runner are unavailable on this ABI.
  • rosetta-godot-runtime-0.65.0-alpha-arm64-v8a.apk: unified Godot 4.3/4.6 companion.
  • rosetta-pc-runner-0.65.0-alpha-arm64-v8a.apk: PC Runner companion with the complete Proton/FEX runtime bundled.
  • rosetta-pc-runtime-0.65.0-alpha-arm64-v8a.tar.zst: standalone copy of the validated PC runtime payload for developer inspection. The runtime payload itself is unchanged from 0.60.1-alpha.
  • Matching .sha256 files are provided for every binary asset.

Validation

  • The RGSS runner was validated with a real RPG Maker game through gameplay input.
  • Godot 4.3 game launch, desktop texture fallback, controls, and saves were validated on-device.
  • Ren'Py and PC Runner compatibility regressions were tested with previously validated games.
  • Main app unit tests passed.
  • Main app, PC Runner, and unified Godot Runtime debug and release builds completed successfully.
  • Every distributed APK was verified with Android APK Signature Scheme v2.

Debug-signed alpha build. Expect incomplete compatibility and regressions. When reporting an issue, include the device model, Android version, selected GPU driver, game engine/version, and the relevant Rosetta logs.
