RPG Maker MV / MZ for Linux [ cicpoffs mount]

The project contains a collection of shell scripts that will help you run games on the RPG Maker MV/MZ engine on linux. I was inspired by m5kro's project and his linux/mac os builds.

The software uses the following dependencies:

• nwjs - As the main engine of the game
• cicpoffs - For mounting the game folder in windows Case-Insensitive mode (that allows nwjs better find the game files)
• tools such as wget, ln, readlink, grep - For downloading the latest version of nwjs and viewing the files

Contains the following features:

• Running any RPG Maker MV/MZ game on linux.
• Sharp increase in fps (from 2 to 4 times more compared to Wine, can be viewed by pressing the F2 key)
• Updating Pixi 5 libraries for RPG Maker MV games (that's supposed to increase performance)
• Downloading and selecting any version of NWJS (using the command line).
• Easily installable SDK version of NWJS with one click in the gui, or via cli.
• Starting a game with the Japanese locale option.
• Launching a game using a command line.
• Showing the NWJS, Nodejs, Chromium versions of your downloaded game.
• Installing the Text hooker plug-in that copies the game's dialogs automatically to your clipboard.
• Can be used as compatibility tool in steam for Windows games.
• The Native support of 4 architectures: x86-64, i386, armhf, arm64

After installing the program you can run the game using an application - "RPG Maker MV/MZ (cicpoffs mount)"
