How to Run an RPG Maker MV Game on macOS (Apple Silicon / ARM)
1. Download Required Files
Game Files – Download the macOS version of the game.
Mac ARM Patch – Download the NW.js ARM64 patch (Here Mega)
2. Replace NW.js
Unzip both the game folder and the ARM patch.
From the patch folder, drag and drop everything into the game folder.
When prompted, choose Replace for all files.
✅ Keep the name nwjs.app — do not rename it.
3. Run Terminal Commands
Open Terminal, navigate to the folder where nwjs.app is located, and run these commands one by one:
# 1. Remove extended attributes (fixes "app is damaged" errors)
xattr -rc nwjs.app
# 2. Make main executable launchable
chmod +x nwjs.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs
# 3. Make Frameworks folder executables launchable
chmod -R +x nwjs.app/Contents/Frameworks
# 4. Apply recursively to everything inside nwjs.app
chmod -R +x nwjs.app/*
4. (Optional but Recommended) Remove Quarantine Flag
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /full/path/to/nwjs.app
Replace /full/path/to/nwjs.app with the actual path to your app.
(Drag the app into Terminal to get its full path automatically.)
