EasyRPG Player

EasyRPG Player is a game interpreter to play RPG Maker 2000, 2003 and EasyRPG games. It can be used to replace the RPG Maker executable to play those on macOS or GNU/Linux natively.

Usage

Run the easyrpg-player executable from a RPG Maker 2000 or 2003 game directory (same place as “RPG_RT.exe”).

MIDI support

EasyRPG Player support sound font files. According to this post on Github, you can rename a “sf2” file to “easyrpg.soundfont” and put it inside the game directory to use it. You can also start EasyRPG Player from the commandline with the --soundfont option where and give it a file in SF2 format. More about the CLI usage on the official wiki.

As it supports MIDI playback, you don’t need to use a software synthesizer like Timidity++.
