I've just done a system restore on my computer and wanted to grab some games for it, so I've picked a few dozen that were made via RPG maker. These include:
The Witches House
Space Funeral
Schuld
Flow
Flesh Child
Lisa
Pen Palz
After downloading the games themselves I opened them up, and extracted them into a new folder, since they were compressed files. At first, whenever I tried to play the games it would tell me something along the lines of "you need RPG Maker (insert different type) to open" so I got 2000 and 2003. Now everytime I try I'm told a file cannot be open, such as "Systemgrafik" or "system-1default".
I've tried keeping the files compressed, thinking maybe I had to open it in winrar to access it, but then it tell's me the game's name in Appdata\Local\Temp cannot be opened.
Also now that I've tried it again while typing this, some of the boxes won't even disappear. Sometimes they do, sometimes they dont :/
I don't really understand RPG Maker, so I could just be missing something really simple, if I could grab some help that would be great. Also sorry if I'm in the wrong section, I read through the FAQs and pinned messages so I'm hoping this is right.
