RTP Manager

Some RPG Maker games won’t run without the RTP — the Run-Time Package. Aurora’s built-in RTP Manager can download and install it for you in one tap.

The Run-Time Package is a collection of default assets — graphics, music, and sound effects — that ships with the RPG Maker editor. Many games use these standard assets and, to keep their download small, don’t include them in the game itself. On Windows, players were expected to install the RTP separately; Aurora works the same way.

There is one RTP per engine generation:

RPG Maker MV and MZ games don’t use an RTP — they always bundle their assets.

Some games include every asset they need and never touch the RTP. Others require it — it depends entirely on how the game was packaged.

• The game crashes at or shortly after launch with a missing file error — messages like “Unable to load file” or “No such file”
• Aurora warns you before launch when a game declares that it requires an RTP that isn’t installed (you can still tap Launch Anyway)
• After a crash that looks like missing assets, Aurora suggests installing the RTP for that game’s engine

Open Settings → RTP Manager. You’ll see a row for each engine version showing whether its RTP is installed.

Tap Download next to the version you need. Aurora downloads the official RTP directly from the RPG Maker publisher’s servers, extracts it (including the Windows installer format it ships in), and installs it — no computer required. A progress bar shows the download, and you can cancel at any time.

If you already have an RTP archive — for example the official installer .exe or a .zip — tap Import RTP Manually and pick the file. Aurora extracts it, detects which engine version it belongs to automatically, and installs it in the right place.

Once an RTP is installed, every game for that engine version can use it automatically — games that bundle their own assets are unaffected, and games that rely on RTP assets find them without any extra setup. A single installed RTP is shared by all your games, so you only need to install each version once.

In the RTP Manager, tap the trash icon next to an installed RTP. Be aware that games which depend on that RTP may stop working correctly until you reinstall it.
