Log inHow to run RPGM games on Android
Hello there !!!
Something that's always been heavily requested, since the beginning of BOOBS, is a Android version. A lot of people seem to play their game there, and while I had trouble imagining why there instead of a PC... But well, not everyone owns a pc, and you can also carry it where you want. And hey, if there's so many people asking for it, might as weel try to make an Android version !
Old buggy android ports :
But how to do this version, it was another problem... After finding an old tutorial, and a lot of test to make it work correctly, I was able to make a ported version, for android exclusively, using android studio.
That's what I did for a few years. But there was quite a lot of problems : Plugins not working, a pic or audio track disspearing and making the whole game crash, etc... I had to remove some features to make it run, and if you found a bug, I often was unable to fix it, as it was only present in the port.
It was a buggy mess I couldn't fix, required extra effort, and a product I wasn't super happy about, honetly. But at least, I had an Android version !
But, some time ago, Android studio completly reworked their app, and I had no idea how to make the port anymore. Everything had changed... And since the end result was pretty bad anyway, I decided to drop this method, and ask if people had a replacement idea, or if they were able to build something like this for me. But sadly, no one answer came...
So I decided to put the Android version on the side, until I would find a good solution...
And I found a good solution, in the MaldiVes app !
MaldiVes is an app you can get on the Android store (and maybe on the apple store too, for Apple users) which allow to run RPGM games. No need for me to make a special version, you just download the regular PC version, and the app does the rest, allowing you do play it directly ! It's free, and easy to use, so that solves all of our problems !
So, how do you use it ?
How to use MaldiVes :
It's pretty easy, but let's go to it step by step !
-Download MaldiVes from the play store. It should be installed quickly.
-Download the game (BOOBS, or another) to your phone. It might take more time, depending on the size of the game.
-If the game came zipped, you can either get an app to unzip it, but it also seems that MaldiVes can do it for you (although I haven't tried this part).
-Unzip the game.
-Open Maldives.
-Select the option "Add a new Game", in the main menu, and select the folder of the game.
-And from there, you're done ! If everything worked correctly the gmae should now appear in the main menu of MaldiVes ! And you can launch it, and it'll work nicely !
And with that it's all you need to know ! I'll have this post in the pinned post, so you can easily find this tutorial ! So I hope it works, and have fun playing BOOBS, NTR Elf and other games on Android !
Tried doing this and it didn't work, tried using a unzipping app and it didn't work, you might have to make a video showing how to do this because it's not working for me. And every time I selected the file on Maldives it kept saying some sort of error on the app. And when using a unzipping app it would extract the file but I couldn't find it in my downloads or find it on Maldives.
Ah fuck, sorry to hear that !!! I'm not sure how I can do better though, but I'll try ^^'
I tried using the app but my phone gallery is filled with pictures from the game itself and now I can't find my normal pictures is there a way to block it from my main gallery?
