Opening RPGMaker Games Anonymous 08/02/14 (Sat) 19:53:40 No.3402

Hi there! I'm getting into building games with rpgmaker and one of the things I want to do to help learn is to crack open some of the games such as Yume Nikki and see how they do some of the things they do.

To this end I've downloaded an RGSSAD-RGSS2A-RGSS3A decrypter, but none of the games I have contain any of those filetypes, and trying to change the file name extension and then decrypting or opening just results in errors.

So does anyone know any way to open up rpgmaker games for the sole purpose of studying their inner workings?

(for the record I'm using VX Ace and win7)

Ty, will try that!
Though I'm wondering if there's another kind of Yume Nikki distribution that's more accessible? as it stands these are the only files in my yume nikki folder

also hey I tried that and it worked, only problem now is that certain parts of script are garbled. I'm guessing this is something to do with it originally being in japanese, is there a way to fix this? thanks a bunch!

Unnecesary. No decrypter will ever work for any binary file.

No. There are no distributions, just the one you have in different languages.

Download the japanese RPGMKR and set your locale to japanese.

Also, it's better to use RPG2K3 for Yume Nikki, while RPG2K for 2kki and .flow (since those are the version these games used).

Sorry I thought it was made in 2K. Use 2K3 with your system locale set to Japanese

It won't work if you don't have the japanese version of RM2k3. Even if you've set your locale to japanese (manually or with applocale), it won't decode the mojibake if you're using the english one.
