How to run RPG Maker games on Linux/Mac. You won't need those staging features in order to run RPG Maker games. If you're trying to run an MV game then read.
- RPG Maker by Enterbrain is an application that will help you create 2D role-playing games (RPG). Sadly, you won't be able to find RPG Maker for Mac on the Internet. However, there are other tools that you can use in order to create your games. Here are some of the programs that can help you replace RPG Maker for Mac.
- For further documentation on these changes please refer to the 'File Format Changes' in the help manual that comes with Open RPG Maker Fixed a crashing bug when adding a new tileset in the database NOTE: I have started preliminary work on the engine, however those changes are not present in this release since there's no actual visuals done yet.
Step 1: Install WINE. There's already plenty of guides on how to do this. So I'll simply provide the official link to the WINE HQ website. You should always install the staging or beta version. If you experience crashes or errors in the stable version, you will not be able to report your findings. I recommend the staging version since it allows features that the beta doesn't have. However, you won't need those staging features in order to run RPG Maker games.

Step 2: Disable WINEGStreamer. This can create crash issues and therefore make you unable to play VX/Ace games. I'll provide a photo graph to make this process easier. First of all, run the following command in your terminal 'winecfg.' This is assuming you are using Linux. I am unsure how you run winecfg on mac but you should easily be able to find a guide. Notice that I am using a virtual desktop, that will be explained in step 3.
Shoutout to the wine community for helping me on this issue. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42456
Step 3: If you're trying to run an MV game then read this. Otherwise skip this step. MV games have an error where they will black screen. You will have to enable a virtual desktop in order to fix the issue.
Another shoutout to the WINE community. No seriously, this is the most helpful community on the Internet you will will ever encounter. This issue was reported in another game called 'Syberia.'

Step 4: Help I'm running a Japanese game. In the unlikely event that you encounter a Japanese game on FoxTaleTimes, Linux comes with a locale emulator built in. Unlike Windows. Run the following command in the Linux Terminal. 'LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine /path/to/game/game.exe' You will have to run Japanese games from the terminal or create a script. Unfortunately, I am not a mac user, so I can't provide much information on the subject.
Step 5: Install the RTP's. You will have to ask the developer what version of RPG maker they use in order to install the correct one. No fancy setup is required. Just run the exe files in WINE and you are good to go. http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/add ... e-packages
