Note that older games tend to go full screen without a prompt so use Alt + Enter to go into windowed mode. The game should boot up normally and now you can play the game. Open the folder of the RPG Maker game you want to play and just run RPG_RT.exe. This will work for all games associated with this language version of the engine, so you don’t need to return to those sites ever again.

Download the appropriate RTP (or if you’re lazy like me, download all of them) and install them. Once you have figured this out, the English RTP and the Japanese RTP are linked here. In translations like vgperson’s titles, it’s going to be in Japanese. The websites for RPG Maker games should tell you what engine it’s using and the language used is, well, obvious. RPG Maker 2000 English RTP is different from RPG Maker 2000 Japanese RTP.

Not only are the numbers different but so are the language versions too. ib (including the vgperson translation) is based off from the Japanese RPG Maker 2000 engine. The English yuri cult hit, Embric of Wulfhammer’s Castle, uses the English version of RPG Maker 2003 for example. However, this is usually poorly explained and honestly not that user-friendly.įor starters, you need to know what engine and what language version the game was originally made in. Installing the same things forever and ever again is inefficient. The rationale behind this is to save space and that most games are going to use the same code anyway.

It holds the default assets, systems, and scripts. RTP (Runtime Package) is the base of every RPG Maker game and it’s what the whole enterprise possible. Select Japanese (Japan) and Restart your computer.Īfter restarting, right click on any icon and select properties to see if the yen sign appears. Click on the administrative tab and press Change system locale. Then, click on Change date, time, or number formats under the Clock, Language, and Region header.Ī window should pop up.

You can still use English software including RPG Maker English versions too. The latter is easy to do and makes you play other Japanese games successfully without compromising anything. I’m not a fan of the former as it’s a temporary measure and doesn’t have full compatibility with the games I play.

There are two main ways to overcome this: AppLocale or switching your locale entirely. Error messages like “the file path is missing” or “can’t find the file title” will pop up instead. Without this “quirk”, programs usually can’t find where they need to go. If your file paths don’t have the yen sign, that’s a surefire way to know that your locale is still not in Japanese. To take a random example from my computer, this is how the file path looks for me: Japanese programs do not use the standard \\ and instead use the yen sign. For the purposes of this post, the locale is necessary for file paths. If you have no idea what a locale is, this is likely the step that’s confounding you from installing the Japanese RPG Maker game properly.

For Mac users, please skip to the section on EasyRPGMaker or, well, just install Windows lol. If you want to play Japanese RPG Maker games (including ones that are translated) but haven’t switched locales or have no clue what I just said, please look at step 0. This is where things get a bit complicated. Well-known VIPRPGs are accessible and curated on this wiki. But the majority of these games is going to be on sites like and FreeM!. Some games like the English translation of Helen’s Mysterious Castle are found on Steam and even on consoles.

You can buy these software on Steam to make games nowadays, but for the purpose of this post I am going to limit to what’s important to the consumer who just wants to play these games. Quite a number of popular and interesting games are made on these engines. RPG Maker is a successful line of video game creation software developed and published by Enterbrain.
