I couldn't find if you have gotten an answer, didn't see it in my quick scroll through the last few pages.
Got the same issue for some games. It boils down to a changed (default?) location of python.exe. Used to be in "..\lib\windows-i686" but in newer games (eg Bad Memories) it's in "..\lib\windows-x86_64". Unren only checks the first one.
Your options are:
1) modifying unren.bat to include using the new location or
2) copying python.exe from the "..\lib\windows-x86_64" folder to "..\game"
I'm not aware of issues option 2) could cause. If there are issues I'm sure someone knowledgeable about Ren'py will call me out on it.

Firstly, this problem has been more than six months. Secondly, even the updated version of UnRen in the header is suitable for new versions of RenPy. And thirdly, I have created a separate thread for my personal modification of this tool, where I try to add support for all new changes as far as possible.
In your "game" folder, open the "lib" folder, locate the "windows-x86_64" folder and rename it "windows-i686". It solved the problem for me.

Not helpful. The lib folder already has the windows-i686 folder.
The error message for all 3 .rpa files is "ValueError: the given file is not a valid Ren'Py archive, or an unsupported version".
Here are the details for the script.rpa file:
+ Unpacking "script.rpa" - 635810 bytes Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\Games\JASOM\JASON-U02-pc\_rpatool.py", line 363, in <module>

raise ValueError<ValueError<'the given file is not a valid Ren\'Py archive, or an unsupported version'>
If someone knows what is happening, fine. Otherwise, I don't have to play this game.

Most likely, the archive header was simply changed, the usual practice, but I will say more precisely after downloading. I don't know yet how to bypass random headers beautifully. Only adding to the list of known ones.

I was right. Changed the Header. And it's capital like this. Added in support there.

Native support for changing headers and simultaneous unpacking with decompilation in the new version.

I am a beginner in renpy. I have a decent idea how to play with console commands. But now I wanna learn about rpy files.
Can anyone tell me, after extracting RPA packages and decompile rpyc. I can edit those however I want. After successfully editing those rpy file. How can I recompile all those files. Do I even need to recompile all those file. Because the game runs without an issue even after decompiling files.
I know experience modders make a patch file (ex: patch.rpy) to mod the game. But I'm not quit there yet.
And lastly I cannot find the tread tutorial for making patch.rpy or other mod like unlock gallery mod. If anyone know then please link at me.

The game will take care of everything for you. After you change a .rpy file, just restart the game and it will recreate the .rpyc file based on your changes.
If you have used option 3 of UnRen, you can even modify the script while playing the game, Then hitting Shift+R will reload the game with your changes. Once you've done that while playing the game, any further changes to that script will automatically be affected without having to hit Shift-R.
In games where there are a lot of errors, especially in the sayer-names, I will fix the errors as I play. It pisses me off when the wrong person is talking, and it's a simple change to make.
Of course, until you are really sure of what you are doing, you should make a backup of the .rpy file before changing it. Of course, if you really screw up, you can always delete everything and re-extract the .rpa packages or unzip the downloaded file.

If you just want to make a mod patch, you don't need to recompile anything.
RPA, as you said, is just a package. Ren'Py runs the rpyc files and it doesn't matter if they are within the rpa package or outside of it. Once you extract it, Ren'Py will run the rpyc files outside that package because, when Ren'Py finds two rpyc files with the same name, it runs the last modified one, and that's the one outside the rpa package. That's why, once extracted, you can safely delete the rpa and the game will work just fine.
Rpy files are the 'printable' version of rpyc files. Those are the ones where devs code the game. Ren'Py reads them and compile its info in their respective rpyc files. So when launching a game, Ren'Py first looks for rpy files: if any, Ren'Py automatically compiles them in rpyc files (updating the existing ones so that they include the last changes made on the rpy files) and then run those updated rpyc files.
So you only need to mod those rpy files with the changes you want to make to the game. If you're a noob, the easiest way to create a patch is to put into a 'game' folder all your modded rpy files AND their respective rpyc files (that way you'd likely avoid saves compatibility issues). Let's say the game comes with a RPA package and, after extracting it, you have 10 rpy files and 10 rpyc files. If you only modify 3 of those rpy files, those are the only ones you have to include in your patch: players will have the other 7 inside their original RPA package and your 3 modded rpyc files will 'override' the other 3 within the package.
Expert modders include all those changes in a brand new 'patch.rpy' file with some functions that override the original ones, so that players can safely install the mod without replacing their original files (that way you can uninstall the mod just by deleting that 'patch.rpy' and restore everything as it was before installing it). Because not all games come with their files in RPA, and your 'noob patch' will force players to replace original files thus making it impossible to 'uninstall' your patch - their onlyway to get rid of it will be to re-install the whole game

Hello.
Thanks a lot for this helpful tool. For a long time I don't play any more, but I continue to get acquainted with projects of interest.
However, there were a couple of games, archives of which both the past and the current version could not be unpacked, for example current versions of "Wicked Paradise". Can you help with this?

And UnRen 0.8, and today I looked here and tried UnRen 0.91.
Sorry, I did not describe the error, as I wrote from the phone.
This is what the tool gives me when I try to unpack (as well as several previous versions of this game).

Version 0.8 has not supported all games for a long time. And 0.91 was created by a moderator who messed up a little. If you look at the previous page with messages, you will see my link to the current version of the tool, which should support all modern games on RenPy.
