Does LRPGM delete or modify the original game?

Access conditions

There is no universal reversal through a plugin toggle. MV/MZ and Legacy have different application paths that can change data, scripts or containers. Backup is optional and disabled by default.

Add and remove from the library

Adding a game only registers its path so LRPGM can manage it. Removing a project from the library does not delete the original folder.

When the game changes

Files in the registered copy are modified when you finalize and apply a translation. Do not work on your only copy. Under Settings > Advanced, keep safety backup generation enabled before modifications.

Good practices

• keep an untouched copy outside the working folder;
• do not close LRPGM while it applies files;
• test the game after finalizing;
• do not manually edit internal translation data;
• generate a new shared package after every change.

LRPGM includes integrity checks and can stop when it finds an unsafe state. If that happens, follow the on-screen guidance or start a new preparation from an intact copy.
