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

  1. Keep the original archive until the game launches and your saves are confirmed.
  2. Install the current JoiPlay app and required Ren'Py plugin from their official source.
  3. Use AGM's local install flow to select the archive you already possess.
  4. Review whether AGM proposes a new install or replacement before confirming.
  5. Match the installed game to a catalog entry if automatic matching cannot prove the identity.
  6. 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.
