MV Data Conversion
You can convert project data created in RPG Maker MV (hereafter "MV") into RPG Maker MZ (hereafter "MZ") project data.
Conversion Process
Conversion is done by copying the project data. First, follow the steps below.
- Display file extensions on your PC.
- Make a backup of the MV project data you wish to convert.
- Create new project data in MZ to use as the conversion target.
Copy all files into the MZ project
All of the project data files will be copied into the MZ project.
Conversion processing will be executed after launching MZ.
*Conversion will not be done while the project is open in MZ. When copying the files, please close MZ in advance.
