RPG Maker

RPG Maker is a software series dedicated to RPGs development. Games made with these engines can usually be played through Wine or different source ports.

Native

RPG Maker 2000/2003

EasyRPG Player can run games made with RPG Maker 2000 and 2003on Linux natively .

You can install it from your distribution official repositories or download the executable from the website. To start a game, put the EasyRPG Player binary in the same directory as "RPG_RT.exe". Open a terminal emulator and run ./easyrpg-player. As it supports MIDI playback, you don’t need another program. Download a SoundFont file, rename it to "easyrpg.soundfont" and EasyRPG Player will use it by default. EasyRPG Player can also be started with environment variables, custom settings from configuration files and command-line options like:

• --soundfont <soundfont>, to use a custom path for your SoundFont
• --project-path <path>, to change the path where "RPG_RT.exe" is located
• --engine
• --disable-rtp
• --encoding
• --save-path
• --show-fps --fps-limit --no-vsync

Now that you use EasyRPG Player, you shouldn't need .exe, .dll, .jar files and you can remove them from the game project directory except "RPG_RT.exe" (this one is needed). All RPG Maker 2000/2003 games aren't compatible with EasyRPG Player though.
