What RPGMaker Save Editor is

RPGMaker Save Editor (RMSE) is a free tool for editing save files from RPG Maker MV and MZ. Available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, it uses Node.js for its backend and Electron for its graphical interface. Open a save by dragging it from a file browser or selecting it in a dialog. RMSE lets you change items, armor, and weapons, and add inventory entries from a dropdown. Character edits are limited to members of the active party. For values the editor does not interpret, including custom-plugin data, you can export a save as raw JSON, edit it manually, and load it again. Before overwriting a save, RMSE makes a backup and keeps the five newest copies in a `.rmse_backups` folder beside the save files. Save files must be saved inside the game directory, though exported JSON can go anywhere. The project has an Apache-2.0 license but no packaged releases; its documented setup is to clone the repository, install dependencies with npm, and run `npm start`. The project warns that changing internal variables or switches can damage a save.

Good

  • Edits items, armor, and weapons.
  • Exports and loads raw save JSON.
  • Creates backups before overwriting saves.
  • Runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Watch out

  • Supports RPG Maker MV and MZ only.
  • Character editing covers only the active party.
  • Save files must stay inside the game directory.
  • No packaged releases are listed.

Who it suits

RMSE suits players who want to edit RPG Maker MV or MZ saves on desktop. It may also suit users who are comfortable installing a project from source or manually editing raw JSON.

Verdict

RMSE provides direct save editing and a raw-JSON route for values it does not read. Its supported game versions and save-location rule are important constraints; back up saves before changing internal values.
