This page is out of date
You've reached a page on the Ren'Py wiki. Due to massive spam, the wiki hasn't been updated in over 5 years, and much of the information here is very out of date. We've kept it because some of it is of historic interest, but all the information relevant to modern versions of Ren'Py has been moved elsewhere.
Some places to look are:
- The Ren'Py Home Page
- Download the Latest Version
- Ren'Py Documentation
- Quickstart Tutorial
- Ren'Py Cookbook

iRex iLiad Support
We thank HixBooks for sponsoring this port.
Ren'Py now supports the iRex iLiad ebook reader. If you have a distribution of a Ren'Py game designed for the iLiad (the filename will be gamename-iLiad.zip), then it can be used by unzipping it to a filesystem accessable to the iLiad (either the internal memory, or a media card), and then selecting the game from the built-in browser.
The following keys are useful in-game:
- PageDown (the big bar)
- Advance to the next screen.
- PageUp (the big bar)
- Rollback to the previous screen.
- Up and Down arrows
- Select a menu choice.
- Circle (between the arrows)
- Activate a menu choice.
- Circle-Hold (for a few seconds)
- Go to the in-game menu, allowing saving, loading, etc.
The stylus can also be used to play the game and make menu choices.
Building an iLiad Distribution
To build an iLiad distribution, you'll need to download Ren'Py 6.8.1 or later and the latest version of the iLiad support files:
Unzip this file inside the unzipped Ren'Py directory. (So that renpy-iliad.sh is in the same directory as renpy.exe and renpy.sh.) Once installed, when using the Tools menu of the launcher to build distributions, the iLiad distribution will be one of those that is built.
Porting an Existing Game
To port an existing game:
- Unzip it inside the Ren'Py directory.
- Rename the game directory, if desired.
- Select the project inside the Ren'Py launcher.
- Proceed to build an iLiad distribution, described above.
