Need help with rpg maker MV games, for some reason they stopped launching. All the games worked perfectly fine, but after awhile of not playing them i come back and none of them open, only thing that comes to mind is that i've changed my HDD that had those game on it. SDD with Windows, AppData and all of that is unchanged. Games don't start at all, i can't even see them making a new process in task manager, after turning on "run in 640x480 screen resolution", screen turns black for less than a second (options like compatibility mode and running as administrator don't do anything). Tried using locale emulator to run games in JP doesn't work. I thought that i might have not installed RTP but i don't think there is one for MV? Other rpg maker games run fine, like games from SEQUEL series on Ace. Summer memories is the game that i tired launching, it worked before with no problems, tried downloading latest version of the game from this forum, same thing, i don't even know what to try anymore.

Try running one of them directly from C: and see if they work
You mentioned changing their location, if you have special characters (not just english letters) or your new filepath is too long that can cause issues for some games.
You should try setting your locale to japanese as well instead of relying on emulators.

Playing from C:, and changing locale didn't help
I don't remember installing anything apart from Ace RTP back when games where starting normally, though i might have forgotten, i installed trial version of RPGM MV, nothing changed. Maybe i need to install something else?

you can try to download the latest NWjs and replace the files in your game
You must be registered to see the links
and if that doesn't help
try to install klite codec pack

Didn't help. At first i downloaded 64x version of NWjs, and it was giving error 0xc000007b and with 32x version it does nothing. I ran some commands like chkdsk, sfc, dism and it seems that some of my system files were corrupt, i don't know if this might affect something? Weirdest thing is that even if it does, why doesn't it affect anything else like all other games and programs, they work perfectly fine, it's just games on this one RPGM version.
Ok, so after downloading and trying new game on RPGM MV engine, it worked without trouble. So i did redownload summer memories again and after launching it with new NWjs i noticed debug.log that it made. Inside was error "ERROR:http_transport_win.cc(175)" after googling i found info that this error solves by deleting app folder in AppData\Local, so i deleted folders of games that didn't work and also NWjs folder but it didn't seem to help. I've restarted PC since and thought i will provide this new info and launched the game to see the exact error, but instead it just works now? So i guess some data that was saved in AppData folders was still referencing old drive, or smth like that. Anyway deleting them and restarting PC seems to solve the issue.
