 ==== Key Patch by Ineluki ====
-Supports: RPG Maker 2000 (except Value), RPG Maker 2003 up to version 1.04
+//Main article: [[.:patches:key-patch|Key Patch]]//
-Executes scripts via the 'Play sound' command, and returns data through the midi ticks. Scripts are stored as sounds with .script.wav extension (the format of .script.wav is similar to INI files). Also, allows to play MP3 files by creating text files with .link.wav extension.

+To work with any other version, game needs to be patched with Force Harmony.
+Executes scripts via the 'Play sound' command, and returns data through the midi ticks. Scripts are stored as sounds with .script.wav extension (the format of .script.wav is similar to INI files).
+Also, allows to play MP3 (and theoretically also WMA) files by creating text files with .link.wav extension (a feature that was carried over from the older MP3 patch by Ineluki). Since this procedure is not managed by the game engine, music continues to play even if another track is started without correctly terminating the last one.
+If FFDShow or something similar is installed, it may spam new symbols to task bar with every new file played until Harmony resets or game is closed.
+The Key Patch is able to break system stability when starting a game if it gets prevented by a firewall to monitor key inputs.
 Scripts allow to:
   * Get full keyboard input
-  * Get mouse input
+  * Get mouse input (only works correctly in fullscreen)
   * Execute arbitrary programs

 ==== Auto Enter Patch by Miroku ===
-Skips the title screen of RPG Maker, allowing to create custom title screens.
+Skips the title screen of RPG Maker, allowing to create custom title screens. When used, the title screen will still show up, but is confirmed to start a new game instantly. To remove every disturbing detail, title and system graphic should be changed to empty black and the confirmation sound effect needs to be "(OFF)". It is recommended to use Better AEP (see below) instead.
 Similar patch is available for RPG Maker 2003.

+By default, if a game is launched through a default RPG_RT, EasyRPG will try to use the ExFont from said RPG_RT.
+If you use EasyRPG Player as your way to run the game, a custom EXFONT can be used by placing ExFont.bmp/.png in the games main directory instead (After version 0.7.0, you will need to place it in /Font). This will override the built-in ExFont.
