EasyRPG Player 0.2.2 “Brian”

After some months, here is a new maintenance release of the RPG Maker 2000/2003 game interpreter. This release has been focused on bugfixes though it adds some new features.

What is new for users?

Hangul support for Korean games. Before this release, all games using Korean characters were unreadable. The Baekmuk Gulim font glyphs have been added to cover them (#336). Nobody of the team speaks Korean, however we want to support all games possible written in any language.

    1. Hi BlisterB, thanks for reporting. Which Player for Android version did you check? Nightly build or 0.2.1?

      1. Hi Francisco, I took the binaries from the section “EasyRPG Player continuous builds”, so I think this the nightly build.
        You’re doing an amazing work, good continuation !

        1. Thanks, the current build for android is broken and needs to be debugged yet. That’s why it is crashing and the 0.2.2 version has not been released for Android yet.

  1. The Gray Garden has still problems though, such as in v1.08, there are changes in the pause menu. such as it doesn’t directly go to the menu, And it will show 3 different options, but you cannot choose one and move the selection that makes the game impossible to save.(sorry if my english is bad).

    1. Thank you for reporting. This is a known bug. Please use 1.07 or older in the meanwhile.

  2. It appears “Toilet in Wonderland” doesn’t work. It uses a setup.exe file, so that could be it.

  3. Where to download wadanohara and the great blue sea apk file for android because i dont even know where to find it. So if anyone knows pls help me.

    1. There is no .apk for games, only EasyRPG Player. You need to download original games and put them on the /easyrpg/games path of your phone storage. For example:
      (storage phone root) /easyrpg/games/wadanohara/

      Inside the wadanohara folder must exist RPG_RT.ini, RPG_RT.ldb, MapXXXX.lmu Title, CharSet and such.

      Same applies for any other game. Must have its own folder and inside contain game files.
