lv-tutorial VS Player

To get started making these yourself: clone the tutorial, watch the deep dive, and join the Discord

The linked video explains the technology and also serves as a tutorial/sample project: to get started, clone the video source from https://github.com/ysulyma/rp-tutorial.

The tutorial package is https://github.com/ysulyma/rp-tutorial

I've been having some trouble with the DNS, so if that URL doesn't work for you, you can try http://ractivep.wwwmi3-ss56.a2hosted.com. Or you can add an /etc/hosts entry for 70.32.23.77. Or you can just clone https://github.com/ysulyma/rp-tutorial and open index.html.

You can play them with EasyRPG Player, the fps varies game to game

I had a similar issue before. I think it had something to do with the fact that people used to make games on pirated versions of 2K3, so there are multiple versions of the RTP floating around and stuff. In the end, I just wound up downloading EasyRPG Player. Just dropped Player.exe into the game's directory, and used that to execute the game (instead of RPG_RT.exe), and it worked like a champ.

quick search says it works with that: https://github.com/EasyRPG/Player

Otherwise, you can also try EasyRPG. I think that would negate the need for you to install the RTP in the first place.

Grab yourself some copies of EasyRPG Player!

Sounds like you're trying to play an EasyRPG created game. Those files need be run through the EasyRPG player.

Oh, never mind that, I can't wrap myself around MacOS. You've gone through so much effort. Use EasyRPG player for the 2000 and 2003 fangames.
