file = File.open('Game.ini','r')
file.each {|line|
line.gsub!(/\n/,"") #error when reading the line with Chinese title in Game.ini
...

This does not happen with the original RMXP Game.exe.

I am trying to run a RMXP game with Chinese title. If I do not compile mkxp with INI_ENCODING, it will throw the error "invalid byte sequence in utf-8" immediately when I start the game. If I compile rmxp with INI_ENCODING, the title can be displayed, but the same error again is thrown when the game's customized script starts reading the ini file: file = File.open('Game.ini','r') file.each {|line| line.gsub!(/\n/,"") #error when reading the line with Chinese title in Game.ini ... This does not happen with the original RMXP Game.exe.

Hmm, so the ini file is not UTF-8 but some Chinese encoding, but Ruby in mkxp always expects to be dealing with UTF-8. The RMXP RGSS dll probably has a work-around to deal with Chinese encoded files.

The fix seems easy enough, either convert the ini to UTF-8 with your favorite text editor, or put the ini contents directly into the script instead of having them read from the ini.
