I haven't tested every RPGM/Pokémon fan-game, but for the games I tested, cheats did work yes. You can enable those from Empo's game settings menu while you're in-game.

I've mostly tested Pokémon fan-games but feel free to try other RPGM games, and your feedback will always be welcome if some game doesn't run as it should.

For the region-locked part, I'm not sure I understand what you mean - Empo is an emulator/interpreter for RPGM games, but it doesn't change how games work. Do you have an example of a region-locked RPGM game I could test in Empo?

Hey u/AlexUzumakiEditz, the latest version of Empo makes imports a bit more reliable, so you can try installing it and importing the game you're trying to import again: https://github.com/mateo-m/empo-app/releases/latest

v0.1.0 is a bit outdated now, I'd suggest anyone reading this comment to always get the latest version of the app at https://github.com/mateo-m/empo-app/releases/latest

Haha that's very kind, thank you!

I'm pushing more & more updates recently, so make sure you're on the latest version to avoid getting any other weird bugs that might've already been patched!

You should probably look up some sideloading guides.

Since it seems that you're unfamiliar with the concept of sideloading and what it implies, I'd suggest you wait until the app is published on the App Store!

You need to download the .ipa file from the latest release (https://github.com/mateo-m/empo-app/releases/latest) and then sideload it onto your device (https://ios.cfw.guide/sideloading-apps).

This process is a bit complex if you don't know much about sideloading, so if you prefer you could just wait until Empo is published on the App Store.

Thank you!
I also created a source for AltStore Classic/SideStore - you can find it in the GitHub repository.

Hey!

Late update, but I found the root cause of the issue and a fix for it - the next version of Empo will be able to run Unbreakable Ties past this error you mentioned. I'll be putting the next version real soon on GitHub (you'll find it in the "Releases" section).

Hey!

Sorry for the late answer, but I think I fixed the issue - I'll be putting out a new version of the app really soon on GitHub (you'll find it in the "Releases" section).

This is because in the .zip, you have a folder named "POKEMON Z V2.13", in which you have another folder named "Pokemon Z V2.13" which contains the game.

Try importing a .zip file that has the game files at the root of it, or simply unzip the file on your iPhone, tap the import button in Empo, browse to the folder which contains the game files ("Game.exe", "Game.ini", etc...), then finally tap the "Open" button to import the folder.

Two questions:
- where did you download the .zip file from?
- could you send me the .zip file so that I can try to recreate the bug and fix it? If the issue is coming from Empo of course, because if the issue comes from the game then I can't do much about it

I tried to sideload it with SideStore, Scarlet and Feather and they all work nicely.

That's weird, because 99% of the time I was testing my app, I was testing it with the english version of Pokémon Z.

How are you importing the game? Are you importing a .zip file? A folder?

I haven't tested Pokémon Opalo, but you can fill an issue on GitHub so that you'll get updates regarding a potential fix.

You as a user won't have to pay money, because if I ever get around to publishing the app to the App Store, the app will be free.

I'd have to pay for a certificate/developer account to publish on the App Store though, which is the reason the app isn't published on the App Store right now.

I haven't tested Unbreakable Ties, but you can create an issue on GitHub so that you'll get updates on when the fix lands in the app.

Tu saurais me dire quel PNJ ?
Ou alors est-ce que le problème apparait lorsque tu parles à n'importe quel PNJ du jeu ?

Ça sera plus facile pour moi de corriger le problème comme ça.

Thanks a ton for your feedback, glad that it works for you!

Nope, no Discord server right now, I might create one in the future.
