What is a .RPGMVM file?
An .RPGMVM file is a type of audio file used in video games created with RPG Maker MV, which is a tool for making role-playing games. This file contains music, voices, or sound effects in the .M4A format, but it's been encrypted to prevent people from changing it. RPG Maker MV turns these audio files into .RPGMVM files when someone is getting their game ready to share with others, making sure the game's audio stays the way the creator intended.
To open or use these .RPGMVM files, you can't just use any regular audio player because of the encryption. Instead, there's a specific tool called Petschko's RPG-Maker MV-File Decrypter that can unlock these files. This tool is available on the web and is designed for people who need to access the original audio files, maybe for editing or other development purposes.
When someone makes a game in RPG Maker MV and adds M4A audio files for background music or sound effects, these files get encrypted and saved in a special folder within the game's directory, usually found under Documents\
It's important to note that RPG Maker MV can also use .OGG files for audio. Just like the .M4A files, these too are encrypted when the game is being prepared for distribution, resulting in .RPGMVO files. Both types of encrypted files are meant to protect the game's integrity and are part of the RPG Maker MV's way of packaging a game for its players.
