How do i get this game to launch cause im getting direct error any time I launch it.
DirectDraw error happens because RPG Maker 2000 uses deprecated DirectDraw API for fullscreen, and game by default tries to run in fullscreen mode. This concerns all games made in old versions of RPG Maker 2000.
There are several solutions to this which are mostly described on previous page. I will try to summarize them:
1. Run the game in native windowed mode - create shortcut or cmd file to start RPG_RT.exe with parameters "TestPlay ShowTitle Window" (without quotes). Never had errors with this method. Though window will be only 640x480. I included cmd file with my RyonaRpg upload.
2. Run with Windower as detailed in
this post. As a benefit, can set game to run in large window. Probably the best way.
3. To run in native fullscreen mode, try to set compatibility options as detailed in
this post. In my case enabling "Reduced color mode (8-bit)" was enough.
4. Alternatively, for fullscreen mode run with AFM (anotherfullscreenmode.exe) as detailed in
this post.
By the way, here is latest RyonaRPG (both original and prepatched). Currently updated to revision 4599 (2020-03-22), also added small translations (introductory text for the new player character Rin, and chastity belt remote control).
