BOOSHER29'S PROFILE

Have you installed the RTP files in the correct directories? I'm not sure about Windows 8 (though I don't imagine it would be too different) but Windows 7 has them in the Common Files>Enterbrain> RPG Maker 2000/2003 folders and that works a-okay. You could just copy/paste the RTP files into the game folders if need be, I guess. That should get rid of the issue for that particular game, though you'd have to do the same for any other games.

It may also be that the RTP files you've got and the ones that the game uses are different versions. I know there's at least three versions going around. Two of them are the normal RTP files, only with different names for each file (Vehicle vs Vehicles and hero1 vs char1 and so-forth). The third one isn't really the RTP but instead an add-on that a lot of people added to the same folders as the RTP and used from there.

Also, 2k and 2k3 RTP is different, so you'll need to get both if you intend to play both types of games.

Thankfully, though, the RTP for the two engines are quite light (about/less than 30MB each, unlike a certain Ace which is, what? Over 200MB?)

Also, 2k3 is the name for 2003. Both 2k and 2k3 (most people use 2k/3 to indicate both) are quite alike in structure except that 2k3 has a side-view battle system built in and a lot more bugs. (I still like it though ;p )

I'm not sure where to get the RTP files. I just downloaded an installer. The installer says all that nonsense when I try to install it. Nothing else came with the file except the installer. Is there good place to download it?
