Don't get your hopes up. Ran it against a half dozen games, only one of which actually allowed much progress. The alpha status is very telling, it has a long way to go.
No PND forthcoming just yet either. This will require some hackery.
First, go to
http://rpgmaker.net/ and download a RM2K or RM2K3 game. Or download from wherever you might prefer, I'm not picky. Extract that game to your SD card somewhere good.
Next, find a copy of the RPG Maker Runtime Package. This is an exercise left to the user because of copyright. I would love to give a URL to download, or even included the necessary files myself, but that'd be highly illegal unfortunately. Once you've got the runtime, you must install it on your computer and then copy the RTP directory onto your SD card as well. You'll need the RM2K RTP for RM2K games or the 2K3 RTP for 2K3 games (duh). They'll likely be in "C:\Program Files\ASCII\RPG2000\RTP" or "C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\RPG2003\RTP".
RPGMaker requires fonts. Fortunately some free ones are available and I can give them to you. I put them
here. Extract into the same RTP directory as before.
Finally you need the binary:
download. Extract this into the game folder.
Open a terminal, cd to the game folder, and type "./run.sh" and it should start.
So my SD card looks kind of like so:
/media/PANDORA/EasyRPG/<game>/run.sh
/media/PANDORA/EasyRPG/RTP/Font
I want to put more work into this to make it much easier, even PND it up for ease of use, but with the it still being in very early alpha (make no mistake, an awesome amount of progress has been made, it just isn't quite ready for mass market) the priority just isn't quite there. I've already fixed a couple of bugs (which prevented it from running on the Pandora but useful in general) and intend to help with more over time.
So by all means, give it a shot. If you find games that actually work, or almost work, please recommend them. If you have any problems, I've probably screwed something up.
