What is a .RPX file?
An RPX file is a type of file used on the Wii U gaming console. It is an executable file, which means it contains the data and instructions that the Wii U needs to run a game. Games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario Maker use RPX files. These files include everything necessary for the game to work, such as the game's ROM (which is the digital version of the game cartridge) and texture files (which are the images and visuals of the game). RPX files tend to be quite large because they hold a lot of data.
To open an RPX file, you can use the Cemu emulator on a computer. Cemu is a program that allows you to play Wii U games on your PC by mimicking the Wii U console's capabilities.
Additionally, RPX files are also used in another context unrelated to gaming. In this other usage, RPX files are report files saved in XML format. They are used to create, save, and modify custom layouts for reports. Programs like ActiveReports, RPV Reports, Geocortex Essentials, and SIMS (Security Information Management System) can open these types of RPX files. If you don't have one of these specific programs, you can still view and edit the RPX file using any XML or text editor. However, be cautious when making changes to the XML content, as it could disrupt the layout and functionality of the report.
