All about RP9 Files
The RP9 file type is primarily associated with RetroPlatform Player.
What is an RP9 file?
RP9 files mostly belong to RetroPlatform Player by Cloanto. RP9 (from RetroPlatform, the technology used in Amiga Forever and C64 Forever) is a packaging format largely compliant with the format endorsed by the W3C for web applications. An RP9 file is a ZIP archive (can be opened using any archive application) containing one or more disk image files (e.g. ADF, D64, etc.) and an XML manifest. The file allows for one-click download and playback of applications such as Amiga or C64 games and demoscene productions.
How to open an RP9 file
You need a suitable software like RetroPlatform Player to open an RP9 file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your RP9 file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RP9 file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
