-The RTP contains graphics and sounds that are used by many games. The better games usually don't need any files from the RTP.+**R**un**t**ime **P**ackages were intended to be a common asset library of graphics, music, and sounds that games often shared to save on disk space in the early days of computing (where floppy disks and dial-up modems were commonplace)A good way to understand the way it's used is through Microsoft's tools; developers that use Visual Studio often include Visual C++ Redistributables and the .NET Framework, or they have to tell the user to download it from Microsoft's website.
  
-EasyRPG does not provide a complete RTP yet, however you can use official RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 RTPs in the meanwhile, but it'non-free and can't be redistributed or used for other projects different than RPG Maker.+The installer for the RTP is given out by RPG Maker'vendor at their homepage for anyone to download but not to share.
  
-===== Get the RPG Maker 2000 RTP and RPG Maker 2003 RTP from Tkool web =====+The better games often don't use this package to ease the burden of having to install more prerequisites just to get the game working, and because they use original assets that the RTP would have no use replacing. You can use official packages from RPG Maker 2000 and 2003, but they can't be shared around, and they can't be used for projects that weren't made with anything other than RPG Maker (like EasyRPG, unfortunately).
  
-This website is written in Japanese only. Scroll down to the bottom of these files and click over the long blue button to download the RTP files for each as follows:+EasyRPG is free and open-source, so our own RTP replacement (which is incomplete) will use a free license allowing modifications to the assets.

-IMPORTANT: Official installers are Japanese only and they are not Unicode. This means you will need to run them in a Windows Japanese environment or the installation won't work properly. You can do this with ease with LocaleEmulator: http://i.watashi.me/archives/locale-emulator.html with Windows 7 or later. For older Windows (XP/2003) you can use AppLocale: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13209 +==== GNU/Linux, macOS and other systems ====

 === Windows-like RTP setup with WINE === === Windows-like RTP setup with WINE ===
  
-EasyRPG Player can read RTP paths from the WINE registry like RPG_RT does from the Windows registry.+WINE has a registry, and EasyRPG Player can read RTP paths from it much like RPG_RT does for Windows.
  
-To make Player read 2000 and 2003 RTPs, just install them with WINE. Once RTPs are installed you can uninstall WINEit is only needed for legal installation.+Install the RTPs in WINE, and then the Player will automatically find and extract itYou can then optionally uninstall WINE if the RTP was all you installed in it; under WINE, this procedure only ensures valid install.
  
-Because RTP are Japanese shift JIS encoded and they are not Unicode, you will need to execute them with a different locale if your UNIX default locale is not Japanese. You need to have the ja_JP.UTF-8 locale generated. Check your distribution locale configuration if you need to enable it (can vary between distributions). Once RTPs are installed you can disable this locale again.+=== Manual RTP setup (without WINE===
  
-By following the instructions below you will be able to install them:+For systems that can't (or don't want to) use WINE for its registry auto-detection, you'll need to copy RTP files from a preinstalled RTP manually or unpack .exe installers with unar, file-roller or similar frontend supporting 7z/lzma data from executable installers.
  
- From a terminal window, go to the working folder where RPG2000RTP.exe and RPG2003RTP.exe files have been unpacked, then run: +EasyRPG Player reads these environment variables for the packages:
-  * For RPG Maker 2000 RTP installation:+
  
-  LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine RPG2000RTP.exe+  * ''RPG2K_RTP_PATH'': For the RPG2000 RTP 
 +  * ''RPG2K3_RTP_PATH'': For the RPG2003 RTP 
 +  * ''RPG_RTP_PATH'': For any RTP (a fallback if one of the others hasn't been filled in)
  
-  * For RPG Maker 2003 RTP installation:+If your system does not support environment variables, just place the RTP in the folders ''/data/rtp/2000'' and ''/data/rtp/2003'' instead. 
  
-  LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine RPG2003RTP.exe+==== Android ====
  
-  * For both cases, click the Next > buttons several times to finish the RTP installations.+You can extract the RTP folders from .exe installers by renaming .exe to .7z and then unpacking the .7z with some free tool like ZArchiver.
  
- +Extract the RTP into your sdcard path as explained in the EasyRPG Player app instructions.
-=== Manual RTP setup (without WINE) === +

-For systems which don't have, don't support or simply don't want to use WINE and its registry to auto detect RTP path: +

-You will need to copy RTP files by hand using your own method, e.g. from a preinstalled RTP. +

-The RTP is found by EasyRPG Player by reading these environment variables: +
