JoiPlay 1.20.600 and Plugin Updates

Hey everyone! It’s been a while! Work has kept me pretty busy lately, so I haven’t had much time to work on JoiPlay over the past few months. But I finally got a chance to focus on it during my annual leave to release an update!

A more customizable and modular virtual gamepad was one of the most requested features in the recent user survey. In response, I’ve rebuilt the gamepad system from the ground up to better match your feedback. Please note that this new version is not compatible with previous gamepad configurations due to its redesigned structure.

Improvements have also been made to the handling of external Node.js modules. There were some significant issues with compatibility and path resolution, which have now been addressed. While performance and stability should be improved, some edge cases involving path detection and script context may still require further refinement.

Ren'Py has been updated to version 8.4.1. As this version introduces breaking changes compared to earlier releases, a new plugin was created rather than modifying the existing Ren'Py 8.3.7 plugin. All Ren'Py plugins now include support for the updated virtual gamepad system.

The RPG Maker plugin has received several minor updates, including shader optimizations, encoding fixes, and improvements to internal pixel region operations for better performance and accuracy.

Ruffle plugin has been updated to include the latest version of Ruffle and its third-party dependencies, enhancing compatibility and overall functionality.

It would be amazing if there were an emulator similar to JoiPlay that could run Wolf RPG games.

I keep getting an error on some games that just says "Parsing The Script Failed". Anyone know how to fix this?

If now now just add Unity plug ins, I can ditch my windows PC altogether. :)

A request, would it be possible to have a more compact, all-in-one installer, so the user doesn't need to download an ever-increasing amount on installers for an OS that isn't exactly good at multitasking?

You might want to name your downloads properly. All I get by default is the version number, and no indication which plugin it is.

How can I manually change the language? I'm using the Lenovo Y700 tablet with the Chinese ROM, and the app is stuck in Chinese. I tried forcing the app language to English (from tablet settings), but it didn’t work. I also checked JoiPlay settings, but I couldn't find any option to change the language. Edit: The issue was caused by a tablet update. I found a system fix on XDA, and everything's working fine now.

Could you add a feature to change the game controller from a joystick to a + key? Also, I'd like to see a Ctrl key added to the right buttons. Some RPGs still use Ctrl as a skip button, so I'd appreciate it if you could keep that key.

The mute button also seems to have problems on some games

The button mapping txt file doesn't load in the app. The joystick is nice but please readd the dpad as an option, there was no reason to remove it. And if this gets publicly released with a completely nonworking cheat function like it has now, thousands of people are gonna be pissed.

Andre Miller · August 3, 2025

can anyone tell me how to map the buttons to odin 2?

M
Mike Carducci · August 12, 2025

This stumped me also, the answer is to do it from the homepage where you see all of your games. Long press on the game and mapping is an option

I can't use the cheat function 😭

A bug report and some requests: Bug report: when trying to change the size of a circle button (after changing it to a rectangle and back, but idk if that part is needed for replication), trying to change the size of the button causes the length and width to not match up, and it's difficult to adjust. It's easier to explain visually than with words. Request 1: With the Ren'py controller buttons, can you provide an option to change them to represent the page up and page down keys so we can scroll back and forth through dialogue? Request 2: The grid when editing buttons, I assume the button snaps-to the grid lines? If so, it'd be nice to have an option to make the grid have less lines, kind of a stricter snap-to, so that I'm not trying to align buttons and screwing up by just a tiny bit. Thank you!

Is anybody else having issues enabling cheats? It worked on the last version and now the button doesn’t do anything

Please add the f1-12 keys back to the rpgm gamepad, we use custom cheats on VX games but need those keys to activate them. Great update doe apart from that

Fix the shader precision suggested by G F Y at this link: https://joiplay.net/forum/d/670-rgss-fragment-shader-precision-causes-tile-gaps It may have fixed the Pokémon Flux issue, but not yet in my project... The error persists in my game, so I'll provide more information to help troubleshoot the issue. The test was definitely performed on the new version; you can see the new control layout. 1. Tested on a Poco C65 with Android 13 operating system. 2. The game uses optimized maps from Map Converter 1.02, the most up-to-date version available on Patreon. 3. The issue occurs on larger city maps; noticeably, in interiors, which have a much smaller number of tiles, the error is less common. Most updated version PokeFallen - Android Version: https://pokefallen.com/download.html#image1-v Demonstration video and save used in a city with the problem. https://mega.nz/folder/aZshXaxY#kJHkiAsD8VOW6-WA-LxqUw

I don't know if this was actually applied, that's what I understood from the log of this new version.

Asada Shinon · July 28, 2025

Mmmm I don't like the new joystick option. For 2D games like in RPG Maker having a D-Pad is much more preferred IMO. Additionally, would it be possible for the defaults to match the prior-refactor? It would make more sense to try and match user experience when upgrading to the new refactored version. Hopefully this can be fixed in the next version.

MakerBlack - PokeFallen · July 29, 2025

There are some errors in the current joystick edition, just by correcting these problems it will be easy to recreate the buttons in that format, I also requested the alternative buttons back in another comment... I hope they respond soon because this update of the RPGM Plugin is very important...

M
MakerBlack - PokeFallen · July 28, 2025

I'd also like to point out that the new virtual gamepad system doesn't support toggle controls. This is necessary for a game that uses a lot of compatible keys...

M
MakerBlack - PokeFallen · July 28, 2025

The new control and button system is great, we need to get used to the new format, but could it be possible to edit a button instead of clicking on it and always having to create a new one and delete the old one?
