If those provided by RPG maker, I doubt that their license accepts being used outside their software.
Not true. Got Full Permission to use all assets. As long as you buy the license from their website.
Everything that is sold is fair game including asset usage.

Although it wouldn't hurt to learn to create original new assets and artwork.

But that is a whole other skill to learn.

I'd guess the permit applies for the purpose of porting his games to other platforms only.
Yes. Correct. But as you all said - Turning the RTP into a snes game is impossible. Although I don't believe it.

I am still sadly going to let this one go. I've got it on a PC disc which is easy. I think I will just build a modern game on
Unreal engine and then port it to the xbox or something like that.

I know people like me like retro new games. And it originally on steam. But I've had issues with steam, so sadly no longer
for sale. You can buy my CD copy though if you want an extremely rare computer game!!! :)

Nothing is impossible, things are just more or less hard. We explained why it's hard in this particular case and roughly what you would have to do which was a lot more than you probably expected.
