I'm running in the same problem and finding no solution. Did you solve it? What do you mean by "edited the registry path"? I noticed that in the 2003 version the lines of code are more or less the same

Unfortunatly still no results.
By editing the registry path i meant that i've changed the path of the rgss on the proton registry, like on windows.

I think that the only way is trying on a VM.

i'm having the same problem now but i remember being able to run this a while back. ill look into it

I'm not having problems on fedora, I have the RTP installed on the wine prefix

same problem here, i did not understand the last message about installing it on the wine prefix, could you elaborate?

no issue with proton experimental on deuvan except the music tracks won't play.

I managed to run this on Proton.
Download the RPG Maker XP RTP from the official web site at https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/run-time-package

Then install protontricks, on my distro (manjaro) I got this easily by running:
pacman -S protontricks

Then I used proton tricks to install the RTP on the same wine prefix as the app
protontricks-launch --appid 235900 xp_rtp104e.exe
where 235900 is the steam id of RPG Maker XP and xp_rtp104e.exe is the RTP file that I downloaded from rpgmakerweb
I installed in the default location when asked and then I could launch the program as usual

this actually helps, it also works on other arch based distros like cachyOS.

Yeah, thanks, it also works on Debian 12 (and with RPG Maker VX Ace too).
