Usage

Basic Usage

1. Create a ZIP file containing all the game files and BGM files (see below for details), and transfer it to your device.
2. Open the app. Tap the option menu (three dots in the top right corner) and select "Install from ZIP".
3. Select the ZIP file you created in step 1.
4. The game will start. To simulate a right-click, tap the black bars on either the left or right, or top or bottom of the screen.

Preparing a ZIP

• Include all .DAT files.
• Music files (.mp3, .ogg, or .wav) whose filenames have a number either at the beginning or just before the extension are recognized as BGM files. For example:
  • Track2.mp3
  • 15.ogg
  • 02 - Title.mp3
  • rance41_03.wav (Note: The filename shouldn't be rance4103.wav, as it would be treated as the 4103rd track.)

Note: This ZIP format is also compatible with Kichikuou on Web.

Miscellaneous

• You can export or import save files via the game list's option menu.
• To uninstall a game, long-tap its title in the game list.

Known Issues

• Installing from a ZIP file containing multiple games (e.g., the DPS series) may not work correctly.
