Has anyone tried playing Night Tail with this, the latest version seems to work, but it apparently can't find source images (within www), and I've checked, they're there in .rpgmv format. Is it maybe a discrepancy in compression type due to different version? Has anyone seen this?
Most likely the cause is that file names in Linux are case-sensitive-- for example, if the code references "Hello.rpgmv" but the file is named "hello.rpgmv", the game will report a "file not found" error.. But in Windows, file names are not case-sensitive, so it would find the "hello.rpgmv" file.

If the game can't find files (.rpgmv or .png) then there is a naming issue with the file.
You can try to play the Windows version via Wine etc. to check if the problem remains or not.

Good points, the game did work with wine (before I put the linux files in), attached picture is the missing error, and "A1 水-和風.rpgmvp" is a direct copy from the filename string, only difference being the format indeed. So if there is a difference I don't see it. It could be different version, that's why I asked if anyone seen this, I forgot how to confirm which version of MV it supposed to be.

Ok I'm having trouble getting this to work. I am on Archlinux, I downloaded the file and unzipped it, creating the repertory :
~/softwares/rpgmaker/RPG_Maker_MV_v1.6.2_Linux

Beside that I have a game in another repertory (~/Documents/autres/...)

I copied the repertory www of the game into that of ~/softwares/rpgmaker/RPG_Maker_MV_v1.6.2_Linux
then ran chmod +x Game.desktop nw

But when I try to execute Game.desktop I get this :
~/softwares/rpgmaker/RPG_Maker_MV_v1.6.2_Linux % ./Game.desktop
./Game.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found
./Game.desktop: line 3: -c: command not found

Any help ?

Launch the game via nw not game.desktop.

So, I'm new to Linux. I think I may have missed a step. When I drag nw into the terminal to run it, it gives a bunch of Fontconfig errors and warnings and then opens up some chrome extension thing saying "Your file was not found".

Without knowing which distro you use we can't help you.

Nice. I was able to get the RPGM MV games to run with this, and I was able to get Falcon-mkxp to run some of the other RPGM games. Btw is there a way to resize these games without just ending up with black borders on all four sides? I didn't have any problem with resizing with Falcon-mkxp, so I'm not sure if that's something to do with this or a general RPGM MV thing.

- For falcon-mkxp you can change the way it resizes by editing the file "mkxp.conf" and changing the default
fixedAspectRatio=true to fixedAspectRatio=false (e.g. if you don't like the 4/3 setting of most games)
To enter/exit full screen mode you press ALT+Enter.
- For MV-MZ you press F4 to enter/exit full screen mode and F3 to zoom-in/zoom-out.

Noob question:
is this just to play MV games on other platforms, of is a tool to make it possible to port games from windows to other platforms?

Your question is a bit confusing.

The files on OP are the execute files to play any game made with RPG Maker MV on Windows, Linux and Mac. In other words you can use the files to "user-port" any platform to another one (exclude Android).

The execute/launcher files are the same as used by RPG Maker MV Editor which is used to build/port the game to their target platform.

Long story short: Yes, you can use those files to port the Windows version to Linux and Mac.

Replaced the links with the nwjs version and attached a zip with the "package.json" files for MV 1.6.2.
MV 1.6.2 and nwjs v0.29.0 are exactly the same (I attached the "Game.exe" in a zip in for those that prefer the MV icon).

The only thing Kadokawa did, was to rename the "nw" executables to "game" and in windows they modded/hacked the exe (changed the icon and the properties/personal information).

ps. for MZ they leave it untouched since modding it would brake the certification of the exe....
