Note that there are language and syntax differences between 1.8 and 2.0, so some user created scripts may not work correctly. For games utilizing only the default scripts provided by Enterbrain, this binding works quite well so far.

MRI 1.8 is what was used in RPG Maker XP, however, this binding is written against 2.0 (the latest version). If you're interested in running games created with RPG Maker XP, this is the one you should go for. Matz's Ruby Interpreter, also called CRuby, is the most widely deployed version of ruby. Bindingsīindings provide the glue code for an interpreted language environment to run game scripts in. The reason for this is that for most games, due to Win32-API usage, mkxp is simply not a plug-and-play solution, but a building block with which a fully cross-platform version can be created in time. Mkxp primarily targets technically versed users that are comfortable with Ruby / RGSS, and ideally know how to compile the project themselves. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2+. The goal is to be able to run games created with the above software natively without changing a single file. Mkxp is a project that seeks to provide a fully open source implementation of the Ruby Game Scripting System (RGSS) interface used in the popular game creation software "RPG Maker XP", "RPG Maker VX" and "RPG Maker VX Ace" (trademark by Enterbrain, Inc.), with focus on Linux.
