I really want to try this game out after hearing lots of good things about it, yet i am unable to play it.
I've done everything anyone is saying (unpack, running it on japanese local, getting all rtp rpg makers, downloading the already english patched versions...) yet the game just opens a black window... and then closes.
No error pops up, just closes after 2 seconds...
I am going crazy what am i doing wrong?

Did you switch to Japanese Locale before unpacking files? Some extraction programs unpack files with japanese characters incorrectly and it can cause bugs.
Did you download ?

I have the same problem. I used to run this game on Windows 7, but now on Win 10 It's exactly how You describe it.

It might be your antivirus, check its Quarantined items and if it is there then add that folder to exceptions. This behaviour sounds like Avast to me.

After a lot of tinkering i decided to try and boot it up on my home pc instead of my laptop (where i usually get these nice games if you know what i mean) cause i had a hunch... it launched downloading the patched game and installing the rtp without any problems... so it was the laptop the problem, i cant say if maybe it's all the rtp i have installed (on my laptop i have all rtp of rpg makers, on my home pc i downloaded only the one needed for this game) that mess up with this game.
I have tried with the antivirus like you said and still nothing... guess i will play it from my home pc, leaving this game's mystery behind me

You can also play on your phone using Joiplay. Worked for me there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone manage to get this running on Win 12? Got the full suite of rtp's (even regrabbed the jp vers of vx to be sure), have extracted it in UTF-8 and Shift-JIS encoding, still not working. Compatibility modes for win XP sp2, sp3, and win 7 don't help, neither does admin mode. Worth noting that the .rgssad is reading as corrupt when trying to extract it, have tried all of the working links in the OP with no sucess. Not sure if it's a bad version uploaded, or if there's an issue on my end (if there is, guessing it's something with the .rar).

Would appreciate it it someone who has this working could upload a freshly zipped version (specify encoding please), would like to be able to confirm that the issue is on my end.

Note: tried ticketing the op a month or so back requesting a confirmation that the uploaded files actually worked (given the rgssad reads as corrupt), no responce.
