#  RPG Maker MV / MZ for Linux [ cicpoffs mount]
The bash wrapper uses [native Linux libraries](DEPENDENCIES.md) to run Windows games and serves as an alternative to WINE. It creates a local port of the Linux version from the Windows port and then executes it.
Initially, it supported only RPG Maker MV and MZ, but it now also supports RPG Maker XP, VX, VX Ace, MV, MZ, TyranoBuilder, Godot, Construct 2/3, and Nscripter.

Priority is primarily on RPG Maker MV/MZ. (if you have errors with XP, VX, Vx Ace address this [link](https://github.com/mkxp-z/mkxp-z)).

#### Contains the following features (RPG Maker MV / MZ):
- Significant increase in FPS (2 to 4 times more compared to Wine, viewable by pressing the F2 key).
- Download and select any version of NW.js (using the command line and GUI).
- Install the Text Hooker plug-in, which automatically copies the game's dialogues to your clipboard.
- Update Pixi 5 libraries for RPG Maker MV games to enhance performance.
- Launch a game using the command line.
- Display the NW.js, Node.js, and Chromium versions of your game.
- Can be used as compatibility tool in steam for Windows games.
- Native support for four architectures: x86-64, i386, armhf, and arm64.


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