Took some figuring out, and my A: having downloaded a 32bit and outdated version of Python by mistake and B: forgetting to check "PATH ACCESS" when I installed Python the first time probably played a part; but I was able to easily access the images from a visual novel (uh, I guess that's sort of cheating).
Follow these steps. If any of these steps doesn't work, please tell me which one and what happens instead of what the video promises. Please tell me the timecode (like 2:41 for example) and I'll try to find a solution. Thanks!
When I checked the exe file on virus total, it shows 10 engines where a few say trojan. I'm just curious on what they mean since I am a bit new to checking for viruses and all that.
Very fair to point that out. I don't know why this happens. I re-checked and by now it's only 9 warnings. I don't recognize any of the 9 antivirus software names that flag it (besides ClamVM which I know of because it's open source and "McAfee-GW-Edition" which I only know because of the name "McAfee".) The "normal McAfee strangely does not flag rpaExtract.exe.
^ This game. It's still in development phase and I just want to see how many CGs are there in the beta build. After I drag & dropped the rpa file (the filesize is more than 1gb), the program works as intended but then stopped working midway through (the window simply disappearing, leaving no extracted/decrypted files). I don't think my antivirus blocked it or interfere the process since there's no error pop out or something like that.
It works for me. It created the "date" folder, which contains the assets.
My theory why it didn't work for you:
1. You have very little RAM (turn off all other applications)
2. Your file path contains non-ASCII characters (russian characters in your username path perhaps). Move the game install files to C:\test\ for example and put the rpaExtract.exe in the same folder as archive.rpa, then follow the video instructions.
If it still doesn't work, you can try to run the tool in a command line or powershell .\rpaExtract.exe archive.rpa so you check whether there are any error messages when it crashes.

To anyone who can't get this working, place the rpaExtract.exe somewhere away from the Desktop, then right click>add to>Desktop Shortcut
Worked for me /:
You know what I'm modding, Don't you?
I do now
There he is, the man himself.
I never actually knew you made this, and i never knew you even played DDLC.
that was my first reaction when i saw the video thumbnail askldghf
please try and let us know!
Doesn't work in Windows 7. And i don't know what is C:/test/ because i'm new in this
For those wondering how to use it in Linux. It's basically the same as MacOS, see the video above.
if you receive this error however:
/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory run:
sudo apt install python3
or if you have already installed it, link python by running:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

and also huge thanks to the creator of this tool! :DDD

Is there a way to do it on Android?
as the file is a .exe i will not work unless it is .apk for android
This was great to use, since i'm making a ddlc fangame and the sprites and backgrounds from the background were all different sizes and such.
Works flawlessly!
Help Please, Windows 10 , Don't Work(
Follow these steps. If any of these steps doesn't work, please tell me which one and what happens instead of what the video promises. Please tell me the timecode (like 2:41 for example) and I'll try to find a solution. Thanks!
Worked very well! Easy to use too. Thanks!
worked out pretty good
Interesting. Never heard of this. Do you know which antivirus or other tool changes the actual properties? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I got easy access to all of the DDLC images with this.
Well. There's two bucks I'll never get back. The RPA Extractor didn't work for me. It won't open at all.

Doesn't work:
1. Create C:/test/
2. Copy the .rpa and rpaextract.exe to C:/test/
3. Drag the .rpa onto rpaextract.exe
Still doesn't work:
1. Do the above
2. Press WINDOWSKEY+R and enter "cmd"
3. type in "c:" ENTER then "cd test" ENTER
4. type rpaextract.exe [filename].rpa
write any error message as a comment here please and I'll take a look.

In the end, it seems like false positives.
please fix it, win 10 is not working, Oct.30 , 2019
which game? what happens? what did your antivirus software say?
Tried to use this extractor to unpack archive.rpa files, doesn't work sadly.
also not working

Thanks, I'll try it out :)
macOs PLS
finally
"To do this on macOS (aka Mac OS X), watch [video not yet done]."
So what do I need to do on MacOS, that would be a great help for me?
Thank you !
finally
Wow, you still upload regularly? Great work!
