RPG Maker MZ - 200x/MZ Converter

Bring Your RPG Maker 2000 Projects to RPG Maker MZ

RPG Maker MZ - 200x/MZ Converter is a conversion tool that allows you to convert game projects created with RPG Maker 2000 into the RPG Maker MZ project format.

Bring your past creations and long-running projects into the modern RPG Maker environment.

With this tool, you can convert completed RPG Maker 2000 projects into a format compatible with RPG Maker MZ, then open and edit the converted projects directly in RPG Maker MZ.

Supports Both the Japanese and English Versions of RPG Maker 2000

Projects created with both the Japanese version of RPG Maker 2000 and the English version of RPG Maker 2000 can be converted.

Regardless of which language version was used to create them, your RPG Maker 2000 projects can be migrated to the RPG Maker MZ development environment.

Support for RPG Maker 2003 is also planned for the future.

Convert Databases, Maps, Events, and More to MZ Format

A wide variety of project data used in game development—including databases, maps, and events—can be converted for use in RPG Maker MZ.

Naturally, RPG Maker 2000 and RPG Maker MZ differ significantly in terms of engine specifications and available features.

For RPG Maker 2000-specific behaviors that cannot be reproduced through simple data conversion alone, dedicated RPG Maker MZ plugins included with this tool are used to reproduce the original behavior.

Any required plugins are automatically imported and configured during the conversion process.

There is no need to search for, install, or configure additional plugins after conversion.

Bring MIDI, WAV, and Movie Files into the MZ Environment

RPG Maker 2000 made use of audio formats such as MIDI and WAV, which differ from the formats normally used by RPG Maker MZ today.

RPG Maker MZ - 200x/MZ Converter also helps migrate these types of assets.

MIDI playback is supported through a dedicated plugin that is automatically registered during conversion.

In addition, audio files such as MIDI and WAV can be converted to OGG format.

Movie files can also be converted to MP4 format, making them easier to use with RPG Maker MZ.

This helps migrate not only your project data, but also the assets used by the original project into the RPG Maker MZ environment.

Some file conversions require additional software and/or soundfonts.

Convert an Entire Project or Only the Data You Need

In addition to converting an entire project at once, you can also select and convert only the data you need.

For database content, conversion targets can be specified on an item-by-item basis.

This makes the tool useful not only when you want to:

• Migrate an entire project to RPG Maker MZ

• Transfer only the data you need into an existing MZ project

• Convert and reuse only specific parts of a project

The tool also includes a project data search function.

You can inspect the contents of large projects, find the data you are looking for, and convert only the parts you need.

Recommended For

• Users who have completed projects created with RPG Maker 2000

• Users who want to remake older games in RPG Maker MZ

• Users who want to streamline the migration process from RPG Maker 2000 to RPG Maker MZ

• Users who want to reuse maps, events, databases, and other data from past projects

About Conversion

RPG Maker 2000 and RPG Maker MZ differ significantly in their engine specifications, data structures, event systems, and other features.

This tool converts data and reproduces RPG Maker 2000-specific behavior through dedicated plugins wherever possible, but it does not guarantee that the original game will be reproduced exactly as it was.

Depending on the contents of your project, additional adjustments or modifications may be required in RPG Maker MZ after conversion.
