#  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](https://github.com/m5kro)'s project and his linux/mac os builds.

### The software uses the following dependencies:
- [nwjs](https://nwjs.io/) - As the main engine of the game
- [cicpoffs](https://github.com/adlerosn/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) 
- 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.
- 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)"
