Common Engines and Emulator Mapping

Before You Start

This guide answers one practical question: after downloading a game package, which emulator/runtime should you use?

Two core rules:

• If a native build is available (for example, a Windows executable), prefer native first.
• If you need an emulator, prioritize projects with public source code and active maintenance.

Quick Mapping

Android / iOS resources are labeled with an Engine tag.
Current tag values are: KiriKiri (KRKR) / ONScripter / Artemis / Other.

This tag describes the engine type of the package; it is not always a single mandatory app name.

• KiriKiri (KRKR) / ONScripter / Artemis (Android): start with the latest Tyranor package
  Tyranor 2.3.3 APK
• KiriKiri (KRKR) / ONScripter (iOS): install the corresponding emulators directly from the App Store.
• Other: follow the resource's note for the runtime method.

Recent Tyranor builds can cover common KRKR, ONS, and Artemis scenarios. If a release page requires a specific patch or runtime method, follow that release note first.

Platform Recommendations

Windows

• Prefer native launchers first.
• If a release explicitly requires a specific environment/patch, follow the release instructions.

Android

• Check the resource card's Engine tag first (KiriKiri (KRKR) / ONScripter / Artemis / Other).
• KiriKiri (KRKR) / ONScripter / Artemis: use Tyranor 2.3.3 first.
• Other, or compatibility issues: switch according to the resource's note.

iOS

• Tyranor is currently not available on iOS.
• iOS users should install KRKR / ONS emulators from the App Store based on the engine tag.
• For Artemis or Other tags, prioritize the resource's note to confirm a workable method.

FAQ

The game launches but shows black screen / crashes

Try another emulator version for the same engine first, then check whether the resource's note requires a specific patch or a specific emulator version.

I cannot identify the engine

Check the resource's note first. If it is not specified, inspect the folder structure and launcher filename. If still unclear, ask the uploader in comments.
