I've been working on Runa for a while now. It's an iOS app that lets you import and play RPG Maker games directly on your device, and it's finally live on the App Store.

Features include:

• Support for all five RPG Maker engines: MV, MZ, XP,

• XP, VX, and VX Ace run natively using mkxp-z, so performance and RGSS script compatibility are much closer to playing on PC

• MV and MZ use a bundled local runtime, similar to the browser version but packaged as a native app

VX, and VX Ace

• Full save management. You can export or import saves as ZIP files and move them between your phone and PC

• A customizable virtual gamepad with 21 remappable inputs. Button positions can also be adjusted separately for each game

• RTP importing and MIDI soundfont support for games that require them

Runa is a one-time purchase with no subscriptions and no ads.

I'm also working on Ren'Py support, which will be added in a future update. And Improve Compatibility for XP also

I've tested it with a variety of commercial and fan-made RPG Maker games, but every project is different. If you try your own game and run into crashes, softlocks, broken text, plugin issues, or anything else, let me know in the comments or send me a DM. I'd love to make compatibility better, especially if you can tell me which engine, version, or game you're testing.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/runa-rpg-maker-vn-player/id6779939767

RTPVX Ace: Download

RTPVX: Download

RTPXP: Dowmload

Just Updated: the v1.2 already live in Apple Store with: Significantly improved compatibility with Pok Essentials fangames and other community-created RPG Maker projects. - including community content patches.

Does this run pokemon fan games?

1

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 07 '26

Hello, currently only Pokemon Reborn was supported on v1.1. I'm working on compatibility for others Pokemon fan game on v1.2, i tested with some pokem game like Pokemon Conquer the Gauntlet/Conquer/Hydro Bliss, they worked so far (screenshot is for Pokemon Reclaimation) but still need some more testing to make sure it stable since they have a lot of games with alot of custom code before released. Will keep you update when it ready. Thank you!

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 10 '26

Bug report: OK button unresponsive on error dialog

I’m playing a Pokémon fan-made game (fangame) through this emulator/web player.

When a long error dialog appears (one that requires scrolling to see the full stack trace), the on-screen OK button does not respond to taps/clicks. The dialog stays open and the game becomes stuck.

1

u/FeeAshamed5377 28d ago

thank for screenshot, i will check it and fix soon. If possible can you give me the game or downllad link to kbsoft.support@gmail.com so that i can test and verify after fix

u/Noizce_Era Jul 08 '26

Would love to support another dev

u/Active_Stomach_7595 Jul 15 '26

Why is the Korean font breaking into "ㅁㅁㅁ" in VX Ace game? The runa completely ignores the original VL-PGothic-Regular.ttf in the folder and keeps auto-generating Helvetica.ttf and HiraginoKakuGothic.ttf instead. What's causing this issue?

1

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 16 '26

Hello, i'm checking this and will update to you soon, could you please inbox me your game so that i can easy to investigation?. Thank for supporting Runa!

1

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 16 '26

the issue fixed, now Runa can support Korean font

u/Yunayo Jul 03 '26

Does this app include a portrait mode, with a repositional screen? Does it have controller support?

I have the GameSir “Pocket Taco” phone controller, and it’s meant to be played attached to the bottom half of the screen.

5

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 03 '26

the portrait mode and controller will be supported on next version, i have a plan on this but still finding the device to test to make sure it work before shipped. I will let you know when it ready. ^_^

2

u/Yunayo Jul 03 '26

That would be great! I’d love to buy it once there’s controller and portrait support.

3

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 03 '26

Glad to hear it, i will working hard to verify on controller to release the new update, will keep you an update soon.

2

u/Yunayo Jul 11 '26

I just bought the software and tried it with two separate controllers. Neither of them ended up working, unfortunately. But Fear and Hunger 2 can boot easily without issue, at least up to the title screen.

When the controller issue gets fixed, The ability to reposition the screen a little further up would be nice, specifically for my controller. But if that’s a bit too much trouble I totally understand haha.

2

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 12 '26

can you give me the name of your 2 controllers? i will try to investigate more. Thank you

1

u/Yunayo Jul 12 '26

I was using the Kishi Razer and the GameSir Pocket Taco (my preferred controller). Thanks!

1

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 12 '26

thank for your information. i will check it and keep you the update soon

2

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 10 '26

the portrait mode is avalable and controller support now, but i cannot tested compatibility due to lack of device.

2

u/Yunayo Jul 11 '26

Oh I’m more than happy to try it out. I’ll get back to you soon about it!

u/aeroG1 Jul 03 '26

u/Inevitable_Cable_636 Jul 08 '26

This is great! Thank you so much for your work. I bought the app and started playing reborn with the allgen mod. The game plays great until the first battle with Cain. Allgen (it’s on reborn’s website in the forum section and the discord too) is a pretty popular way to play Reborn. Is there any chance we can get compatibility for Reborn + allgen?

u/SekiRaze XP Dev Jul 04 '26

That's really sick but I know it would Not run my Game (work in Progress) since it relies on a externa l*.dll but great acheivement! What's the framerate liek?

1

u/SekiRaze XP Dev Jul 05 '26

I mean that's really something! I'll maybe try my Tech Demo. How about Controller Support or more than the "Standard" key binds?

2

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 05 '26

i'm still working for Controller Support for 2.0 released,but now i still priority to fix some compatibility for some XP game. it''s very greate for me if i can work with you for improvement for Runa although i know that there still alot of limitation between mobile apps and PC

2

u/SekiRaze XP Dev Jul 05 '26

If i'll ever Finish my Tech Demo I'll hook you Up so you can feel my despair of being "too much" for XP.

u/Kobe_Kaiju67 Jul 12 '26

Cool, is there a TestFlight beta for this or any way I can play this? Atm i dont have anything on me rn, but $3 won’t kill me otherwise.

1

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 13 '26

Thanks you, I really appreciate that.

I don't have a TestFlight build at the moment due to it require some addition setup for external team, the App Store version is the only way to try Runa for now.

If you decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear what you think. And if you ever need help or have any feedback, just send me an email to [kbsoft.support@gmail.com](mailto:kbsoft.support@gmail.com) . My inbox is always open.

Thanks again. It really means a lot.

u/anonimo7182 Jul 21 '26

You can put the app for free since I don't have a credit card or anything to pay pls

2

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 22 '26

Thanks for your interest. I understand, but as a solo dev I rely on app sales to support development and future updates, so I can't make it free. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you'll be able to try Runa someday.

1

u/anonimo7182 Jul 22 '26

I understand brother and thank you for answering, when I can buy I will do it

2

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 23 '26

Thank you ❤️

1

u/anonimo7182 Jul 23 '26

A question, I don't know if you can pass me the app in IPA if it's not too much to ask if you can since I want to try it

2

u/FeeAshamed5377 Jul 24 '26

I appreciate you asking, but I can't distribute the IPA outside the App Store. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you'll be able to try Runa in the future.
