What are RTP files and how to open them

Are you having problems opening a RTP file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your RTP files.

What is a RTP file?

RTP files have multiple uses, and RTPatch Patch is one of them. Read more about the other uses further down the page.

RTPatch Patch File

RTPatch is a tool that finds binary differences between two program versions. The differences are saved in "patch files".

The patches can be applied to the older program version to upgrade it to the newest. In this way, a lot of space can be saved, as the full installer package does not need to be transferred to the system to be updated - only the small patch file is necessary.

The small update size is important on systems where bandwidth is limited. For example, NASA and United Space Alliance used RTPatch to update the Space Shuttle Cockpit Avionics.
