Other information
RPA files
Assets for games made with Ren'Py are sometimes stored in .rpa files. These can be extracted by using an RPA extractor.
Multiboot
When you install a Ren'Py game on Windows, you'll often find a binary for Linux in (game folder)/lib/linux-x86_64 that you can run on Linux without having to install the game again. The exact path may vary.
Renderers
- Older versions of Ren'Py supported a software renderer, but this has been removed.
- Ren'Py suggests trying the GL and ANGLE renderers. The GLES renderers may not function on desktop hardware.
| Ren'Py | API | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| gl | OpenGL | OpenGL 2.0 or greater. |
| angle | DirectX | DirectX 9 or DirectX 11 |
| gles | OpenGL ES | OpenGL ES 3.0 |

By default, Ren'Py will automatically choose which renderer to use. Sometimes there can be issues, such as a flickering black pattern or other anomalies.
