## What it is
EasyRPG Player is a free, cross-platform game interpreter that plays games created with RPG Maker 2000 and 2003, using the liblcf library to read game data. It aims for full compatibility with the original RPG_RT interpreter and runs on a wide range of platforms including desktop, mobile, and homebrew consoles.

## Use cases
- play RPG Maker 2000 games on Linux
- run RPG Maker 2003 games on Android
- play classic RM2k games on Nintendo Switch homebrew
- replace RPG_RT.exe with an open-source interpreter
- play RPG Maker games on 3DS or PS Vita
- run RPG Maker games in a web browser via Emscripten

## When to choose
- you want to play RPG Maker 2000/2003 games on non-Windows platforms
- you need a free and open-source replacement for the original RPG Maker runtime
- you target unusual platforms like consoles, handhelds, or the browser

## When to avoid
- you want to create new RPG Maker games rather than play existing ones
- you need RPG Maker XP, VX, or MV support
- you require 100% compatibility with every obscure RPG Maker event command
