v0.1.0

First public build of Empo. It plays RPG Maker XP / VX / VX Ace games on iPhone.

Install

Empo isn't on the App Store (yet?). To run the attached .ipa file:

Compatibility

RGSS1 (XP), RGSS2 (VX), RGSS3 (VX Ace), and Pokemon Essentials forks on Ruby 3.1. Imports from folders, .zip, .7z, .rar, and JoiPlay's .jgp.

If you encounter any compatibility issue with a specific game, please open an issue.

Known limitations

  • Ogg/Theora movies only. MP4 plays as silence.
  • Some Pokemon Essentials forks lean on Win32 APIs that aren't emulated yet, so the odd one fails to load assets.

Thanks

The app wraps mkxp-z by Ancurio and the mkxp-z team. Ruby 1.8 cross-compilation comes from JoiPlay. The Ruby 3.1 syntax-transform patches that let Pokemon Essentials forks parse on a modern VM are white-axe's (from PR #304) + some others that I created. The win32_wrap.rb extensions are by Splendide Imaginarius.

Bugs and compatibility reports go on the issue tracker; logs from Settings -> Diagnostics help a lot.
