JoiPlay 1.23.000 is a pre-release (testing) build, announced on September 23, 2026 on the official JoiPlay Patreon. It is not a stable release yet, but it gives an early look at where JoiPlay is heading next.
What's new (community-reported):
RPGJoy, a new native RGSS player for RPG Maker XP, VX and VX Ace games, with Vulkan, OpenGL and software rendering options
Rendering improvements for RPG Maker MV and MZ games, including text, image, tilemap and animation fixes
JavaScript and Node.js improvements for file access and module handling in MV/MZ games
Basic Flash game support through Ruffle integration, for testing compatible SWF games
An updated virtual gamepad with more customization options
Should you try it?
Try it if a game has graphics or script problems in your current version, or if you want to test the new RGSS player or Flash support. Wait if your current version runs your games well, a pre-release can have bugs, crashes or control issues.
Before you install: back up your save files first, and get the build only from the official JoiPlay Patreon.

Add only the plugins your games needed, each engine installs separately so the app stays light.
Ren'Py is a free engine built specifically for visual novels, letting creators write branching dialogue, add character sprites, and script scenes using a simple Python-based syntax. It handles saves, menus, and choice-driven story paths out of the box, making it the go-to tool for both indie and commercial visual novel developers on PC, mobile, and web.
RPG Maker is a game-development tool that lets people create role-playing games without coding, using a built-in engine, map editor, and event system. Popular versions like MV and MZ export finished games to Windows, mobile, and web, making it a favorite among indie and hobbyist developers for building JRPG-style titles.
Crosswalk (the Intel Crosswalk Project) was an open-source runtime that let developers package HTML5 web apps as native Android and Cordova apps, bundling a modern Chromium engine so the app worked consistently across devices. It powered many hybrid apps' UI and multimedia features before Intel discontinued it in 2017, after which most projects moved to Android's built-in WebView or other runtimes instead.
