Ren'Py games on Android¶
AGM can keep compatible Ren'Py games visible in the same library as installed Android games while JoiPlay handles execution.
A safer workflow¶
- Keep the original archive until the game launches and your saves are confirmed.
- Install the current JoiPlay app and required Ren'Py plugin from their official source.
- Use AGM's local install flow to select the archive you already possess.
- Review whether AGM proposes a new install or replacement before confirming.
- Match the installed game to a catalog entry if automatic matching cannot prove the identity.
- Before upgrades or save edits, keep AGM's generated backup and any game-specific save export.
Patches¶
AGM only applies a selected Ren'Py patch archive when it can prove that the patch belongs to exactly one installed game. Game identity and version compatibility are separate checks; an unproven version is refused rather than guessed. Replaced files receive a verified rollback point.
Limits¶
Not every desktop Ren'Py game is compatible with Android or JoiPlay. Custom native modules, unusual launchers, and engine modifications can still require game-specific support.
