What you need :

1. A Ren’Py game (let’s call it TEST for this tutorial) 2. unrpa 3. Python 2.7 4. Ren'Py for Android

How to install: 1 – Using Python 2.7 and unrpa, extract data.rpa from TEST’s “game” folder. the links given on how to do so. It may be named something else at times but just remember to extract the content from the .rpa file. 2 – Insert the extracted content back into the “game” folder, and delete the .rpa file from that folder. 3 – Install Ren’Py for Android on your preferred Android device of choice. 4 – There will be a “renpy” folder on your Android device, in the “sdcard” root folder. Transfer your “game” folder into the renpy folder so it looks like “renpy/TEST/game”. 5 – In the “TEST” folder, create a “android.txt” file. Then enter these details: title= author= api=61200 orientation=landscape Enter the title and author details accordingly. Optionally, you can add in a png called “icon.png”. This will be shown when you’re selecting your game in the Ren’py for Android main screen. 6 – Now start up Ren’py for Android and you’re ready to play!

NOTES: - Games with keyboard functions wouldn’t work. Because Ren’Py for Android does NOT support keyboard fucntions yet. - Games with video files will crash when trying to access them. Video is not supported as well. (Note : We can solve this problem with deleting all video files on visual novel) - Loading some Ren’Py games will result in unexpected errors at times. If you’re familiar with Python scripting language though, you can try to fix them by yourself. - Last but not least, REMEMBER to rename “TEST” with the name of the visual novel you’re transferring to your Android device.
