Certainly this is a taboo that I have come across with, but if anyone is willing to learn I'd be glad to teach you. I made this tutorial with the intention to convert RenPy games to android which is covered by Sakamoto [[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]].

Let's begin.

Installing Python
You first need to install [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Typing the full path name for a Python interpreter each time quickly gets tedious.
So set you environment variables by running this powershell script.

Code:: [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$env:Path;C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts\", "User")

Make a Scripts folder in your Python27 folder
Run CMD by hitting "Windows" + "R" on your keyboard.
Type cmd and hit "Enter"
Type python and and hit "Enter".
If this appears then you have successfully installed Python and correctly installed the PATH variable.

Hooray! Now let's proceed to the real task at hand.

Extracting .rpa files
.rpa files contain the CG and music files of the renpy game.
First of all, I'd like you to reblog and like the developers tumblr article about his program. He's a great guy for sharing to us his program for free, go and thank him. [[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]]

Download unrpa-master.zip here at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. At the lower right corner there is a download button.
Extract unrpa-master.zip to the Scripts folder we made earlier, make sure there are no subfolders.

Run CMD by hitting "Windows" + "R" on your keyboard. Type CMD and hit "Enter"
Type cd.. and hit "Enter"
Type cd.. and hit "Enter"
Type cd Python27\Scripts

Get a notepad and copy the location of the .rpa file you want to extract and the folder to where you want the extracted CG's and music are stored.
Example:

Location of .RPA file:

Code:: C:\Program Files\Miranda's Choice\game\archive.rpa

Extract it to:

Code:: C:\Users\UserComputerNoob\Desktop\sakimichi

In the example above, I made a folder in my desktop named "sakimichi", this is where the extracted contents of the rpa will be stored.
I chose the .rpa file of the renpy game Miranda's Choice.

Final command line should look like this

Code:: python unrpa -m -p C:\Users\UserComputerNoob\Desktop\sakimichi C:\Program Files\Miranda's Choice\game\archive.rpa

Copy that and go back to the cmd window.
Right click the black screen and click paste.
Hit "Enter"
Check your folder for the extracted files and that's it.
