Didnapper v1.5 CB5 intro (update 2)
DIDNapper v1.6 - Pirate Bay
DIDNapper v1.5 - Tutorial

Didnapper (and any other RMXP game) has been reported not to work on any Linux-based OS or on Macintosh computers as RMXP has been compiled only for Windows. However, there are emulators/virtualizer which can simulate Windows on other OS ( it can need a strong PC, don't be afraid of lags )
for example virtualbox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Also, for android there is the Neko RPGXP Player : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.kernys.rgss
Alternatively, the program RPG Hub can be downloaded and installed, which allows non-Windows computers to run most RPG Maker programs: http://rpghub.mathew.link/viewforum.php?f=10 ( dead link ? )
There isn't, for the moment, a solution to play on any Linux-based OS with Wine or any similar programs but if you find one, don't hesitate to explain it here.
Didnapper on Android
Edit
It is possible to play the game on Android systems by using the Neko RPGXP Player app. The android version supports saves from the PC version (and vice versa), so you can mov Hinie your save files around if you for example wish to continue your PC playthrough on your phone. When using the app there might be some glitches related to graphics and audio, but overall it works much like on Windows PC.
In order to play the game on an android device, do the following:
- Download and install the Neko RPGXP Player app from Google Play.
- Download the Android version of Didnapper from one of the designated links above and extract the .zip file somewhere on your computer.
- Move the Didnapper Android folder to the KernysRGSS folder on your device's SD card. Note that this folder might be hidden if it is empty. If that's the case you can choose a custom game folder in the app's settings.
- Run the Neko RPGXP Player, select the game and have fun
