Sorry for the pointless question, but does anyone know why UnRen doesn't have Python as a dependency? It's not a compiled executable just a batch file. It says unrpyc and rpatool are encoded strings joined in powershell but I don't really understand how that works or how that makes it not require Python.

The Python executable comes bundled with renpy, so unren uses that.

I keep getting this error every time I try to extract a rpa file from this one game
"The given file is not a valid Ren\'py archive, or an unsupported version"
It uses the latest version of Renpy as well.

Difficult to say since you blured you nickname on the computer, but I'll go for "none ASCII character in the path". It should have very basic characters (A-Z, -, _ and that's almost all).
The fact that you use latest version of Ren'py doesn't mean that it's the case for the game. A lot of them are using a very old version of Ren'py and for some it's a version so old that, their RPA files are hard to handle. But normally rpatool (used by unren.bat) is the tool which works the best with older versions.
What's the game which give you this error ?

Seeing as it can't find powershell either, I'm guessing your anti virus is blocking its usage.

Make shure you have

, then create a C:\Games\ or D:\Games\ folder and move the game directory in it. It's a very good idea to keep all your games in C:\Games\ or D:\Games\ if you have it to save yourselves a lot of problems in the future.

It works fine for the most part for the rpyc files (although it's not perfect as some features stop working when extracted). However, for rpa files, it doesn't extract anything.
Also, I meant that the actual game uses the latest version of renpy.

So, first thing, it don't use the lastest version of Ren'py, but the 6.99.13 (Ren'py is at the 6.99.14.3). This said, it's a detail. Now for your problems...
The RPA files, it's not a regular RPA format (The file sig say ALT-1.0, but I found nothing). There's no mention of an update regarding the RPA format in the Ren'py changelog (but it's usual that most of the change aren't reported in it).
Finally, for the RPYC things, it's normal, the game have user defined statement, and unrpyc don't know how to deal with them.
Edit: Alright, the ALT-1.0 format was firstly implemented in 6.99.13, it don't really differ but like @gue5t said, it still have to be added in rpatool.

I don't think ALT-1.0 is official, more like a mod added on to a beta version of Ren'Py v6.99.13 ...
If I remember correctly this isn't the first game using it that I've seen.
It's not so different (header values switch + extraKey) so it shouldn't be a problem to implement:

I just took a look at the 6.99.14.3, and effectively there's no trace of the ALT-1.0, so apparently Thomas removed it. This said, I just made a fast update to rpatool which handle this format.
If @Sam want to use it for unren, or if you need to unRPA file in this format, just DL the attached archive. (Warning, in stand alone like this, it will need Python installed)
WARNING it's an unofficial release and like I have no github account, I can't make it an official commit.

If either of you could submit a pull request to the rpatool repo that would be awesome, I'm reluctant to implement a custom rpatool version in UnRen without the changes being on github as that would reduce transparency.
I can't do it. I can't unpack the rpa files no matter what.
I keep getting the "can't find _rpatool.py" error.
There is no non-unicode character in my directory. It is C:\Users\myname\Downloads\R\Rogue\game
I tired putting it on the desktop and it got the same result.
I am running it as admin.
I even tried putting a _rpatool.py from 2 posts above mine, but the program just automatically deletes it and gives me thhe same error. What am I doing wrong?
The game is Rogue-like.

Create a \Games\ folder and move the game directory in it. It's a very good idea to keep all your games in C:\Games\ or D:\Games\ if you have it to save yourselves a lot of problems in the future. Using a folder in C:\Users\... or C:\Program File... leads to many problems even when you try to run tools as admin.
