Introducing the iOS version of EasyRPG Player, the open source cross-platform RPG Maker 2000 and RPG Maker 2003 game interpreter.

It works with all features (MIDI, MP3 and MOD support, automatic game encoding detection and such).

What is missing yet:
- On screen buttons. Without buttons, games are unplayable on touch only devices. We don't have a cross platform on screen virtual touch button interface but it will be added "soon". It will be used in Windows Mobile and HTML5 ports.

Notes:
- It needs a jailbroken device. We don't have money enough to waste $99/year for the App Store.

Facts:
- Ported without modifying any line of the application code.
- Made without a Mac (cross compiled from GNU/Linux).

Now rebuilt with newer SDK version (Xcode 6.4, before 6.3.2) and with C++11 support.

If you want to test it, install OpenSSH from Cydia, create a minimal Info.plist , connect via SSH to your device, create a folder.app in /Applications and upload the Info.plist and this binary (and add executable permissions with chmod +x). I'll prepare a app folder bundle later to make deployment easier.

The goal after getting a portable touch interface would be submitting the app to some existing Cydia repository for a super-easy end user installation.
Dude, super excited for this!

Why isn't this on Easyrpg's gamepage?

...Does Easyrpg even have a gamepage?

Whatever, I love this!

I've been fooling around with Easyrpg on the Wii u here and there,
and it always amazes me, how you guys can port this to so many different systems.

Definitely keep us posted on this!

EasyRPG had a gamepage in rpgmaker.net some time ago, but dropped it to use an engine page, as it is not a game. However, engine pages need manual submission to website moderators currently and don't have easy to update journal/blog, then I'm using forum post to publish these small updates.

The project has its own website and a blog, but this iOS feature update is a bit small and the port lacks buttons. We have already building iOS binaries in https://easy-rpg.org/jenkins/ but the iOS version is not useful to be linked for end users without having virtual buttons yet. It can be useful however for developers.
