::EDIT::

For those planning to play this on phone here’s how you do it and some solutions to problems that we encountered so far so you won’t have to backread.

How to play on Joiplay

  • Unzip the game using Zarchiever or anything that you can use to unzip the game.
  • Open Joiplay, tap the plus button on the bottom right.
  • Add Game name, version and icon (optional) It doesnt matter whether you input the same name/version
  • on the executable file, tap choose, locate the unzipped game then find “Game(dot)exe” then save.
  • After you added the game, hold the game Icon for like 3 secs then let go. An option will pop-up where you will see “edit plugins”. Tap that and find the Plugin named “Chau_CustomResolutions”. Once you find this, disable it. (If you don’t do this, you will encounter an error called “Type Error: game.setMinimumSize is not a function”).
  • that’s all and you’re good to go.

Known solutions for some problems so far

  • Can’t save plugin edits
  • If these steps doesn’t work for you, you’re probably using the latest joyplay version. Download the old version of Joyplay mine’s (1.01.701) i don’t know until which version this fix works so I’d say download that version or below.

Solution: Move the game file on your Phone storage. Placing the game on an external storage ex: SD card will trigger this problem.

I don't know much about mobile gaming, but if you can, try deleting a JS plugin called Chau_CustomResolutions in \Statues\js\plugins.

This will either fix the problem and make the game look weird, or break the game entirely. Also you'll probably run into others problems but I wish you luck. 

Let me know how it goes.

Hey thanks for the response! that method worked. I don’t see any issues so far but if I ever encounter one i’ll let you know.

hey man how did you make it work i don't understand much about the app and i don't have time to watch long videos explaining

Oh, what you need to do is extract the zip file into your chosen folder, once you unzipped the game, go open Joiplay tap the plus button on the bottom right. Then on the Executable File tap choose then find the location of the unzipped game and choose the file that says “.exe” on the end. And thats it, you just added the game on joiplay.

And about the problem that I encountered, you might experience this too since you’ll also be playing the game on joiplay. Just, hold the game icon for like 3 secs and let go, settings for that game will show up. Tap edit plugins and find the JS plugin called “Chau_CustomResolutions” once you find this, simply disable it then you’re good to go

hey thanks it really worked, sorry for the delay to see it so well no time anyway but thanks for answering

no prob man, gald to help.

Hey, for some reason my plugin preferences don't save. Do you possibly know a solution?

Sorry, I don’t know anymore about that man, it never happened to me before so I dont know any solution for that problem.

try reinstalling JoiPlay. That’s the first thing that i’d do.

Thanks for the quick reply! Sadly, the same thing still occurs. I click save, but my plugin preferences get reberted to their default value. These are the parametes I've set when adding the game

That’s weird. Here I made a video of how I added the game on joiplay.

It doesnt matter whether Game name or version is correct or wrong. Just make sure that you add game exe on the executable file. After you add the game, hold the game icon for like 3 secs and let go, an option where you can edit plugins will pop-up. tap edit plugins then find “Chau_CustomResolutions” disable that, save and then close. Now try the game.

Hope this helps.

Hey Mogu, I've hijacked this thread and stickied it so others can see this better. 

For everyone else. I don't know or use joiplay so use it at your own discretion.  

i do not understand at all...

It doesnt work on joiplay newest version, it doesnt even allow u to put it on joiplay

All it says, file does not supported by the app

I remember seeing the newer versions of Joiplay having problems. My Joiplay version is 1.01.701

Can u share the link for older app? Just asking if i can😅

Oh sorry I don’t know where. But Im sure there are older versions available on Github or something. Just make sure its safe.

yeah im still searching for it too

Mine says "this game type is not supported"

mine's solved

1. Use older ver of joiplay (playstore ver)

2. Follow the instruction from the pinned comment

ok, glad its now fixed for you. I’ll update the pinned comment now.

Thats the end of joiplay i guess

Hi everyone on Joiplay I'm having this problem, how to fix this issue??
