Should not be an issue of them being on different drives, i installed all rtp on system drive which is a M2 SDD and the games are one a game drive which is a SATA 3 SDD, two different drives and partitions and works fine, think maybe something corrupted the files.
as i'd put earlier in the comment, i had reinstalled all the RTP's prior to commenting and it was still not working, reinstalling them on the same drive worked.
Already posted this like, wow 3 years ago, it got even placed in the useful links on the first post but got removed.
The version I downloaded in this topic have the System folder and I already installed RTP: "RPG MAKER VX ACE".
Answered it yourself, game needs VX, you had VX ACE, those are two different versions, thats why i said to install all 5 so you never have this problem ever again with any game. BTW technically you dont really need the System folders in most of the games, they are supposedly there so you dont need to install the RTP's but for some reason this does not work in most of the cases and actually still needs the RTP installed.
So how lazy are you? First games problem was literally explained several posts above and other games problems on a page earlier. Would literally take you a few minutes, instead you would rather waste a day to wait for an answer and bother ppl who have to write the same goddamn replay 20 times in one topic cause you cant be bothered to waste a few minutes of your lazy life.
Asking a question answered few literally 3 or 4 posts above. And the answer to use japanese locale on your PC for those type of games is literally made 2 times per page in last 5 or 6 pages.
