RPG Maker VX RGSS Encrypted Archive Format | Enterbrain | Game Files |
RGSS2A, also known as .RGSS2A, is a file format associated with RPG Maker VX, a game creation tool by Enterbrain. It stores encrypted archives that are used to store game resources such as sprites, backgrounds, and audio files used for game scenarios. The encryption makes it difficult to open or modify the files without proper authorisation, thus preserving the game's unique assets. This format is usually referred to as an RPG Maker encrypted archive.
RGSS2A archives are typically generated by RPG Maker VX when a completed game is packaged for deployment. These files contain collected media data and settings that are necessary for the game to run properly. The on-disk archived assets are stored within an encrypted container that includes a header and compressed data blocks, respectively known as RGSS Encrypted headers and RGSS Encrypted Blocks.
File Structure
The overall structure of RGSS2A follows an archival container format, having metadata stored at the beginning of the file while archive content is stored at the end of the file. Within this container structure, the header section contains details such as the archive's compression format, while the compressed data section contains resources defined by the game creator. Together, these two components make up the central storage unit of the RGSS2A archive.
Similar Formats
RGSS2A is closely related to other file formats used by Enterbrain's RPG Maker series such as .RGSS3A, MGX2A, and MGX3A, all of which use similar encryption techniques and structures for storing on-disk archives.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RGSS2A) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RGSS2A extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RGSS2A file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RGSS2A extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RGSS2A extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RGSS2A file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RGSS2A file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RGSS2A file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RGSS2A file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RGSS2A file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
