How to install GameMaker Games?

[hiulit]

Here you go: https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra ;)

@hiulit
is this game structure right?

[hiulit]

Nope :(

Did you follow the instructions for installing Retropie-Extra? If you install that, it's super easy to install the Game Maker games ;)

You'll get this structure (without the Streets of Rage Remake)

@hiulit
ive done that! but only MalditaCastilla.sh but my question was if the game folder structure is right?
i can see the game in ports but it doesnt boot?

[retronerd]

the game doesnt boot? what im doing wrong?

[hiulit]

@retronerd I don't know, but maybe it's because of a permissions problem. Try to give MalditaCastilla.sh the right permissions, like 755 or even 777.

[retronerd]

@hiulit how do i do that? im a beginner with linux stuff;)

[hiulit]

@retronerd In yout FTP client, right-click on MalditaCastilla.sh and look for info or something like that and try to find a permissions section. It might look like this one:

[retronerd]

got it, but it still doesnt work! where are your MalditaCastilla game folder located? did you downloading it thru the pi?

[hiulit]

@retronerd I'm at work right now :P I can't tell you exactly where the files are located. Try following these steps: https://github.com/hiulit/Murtop-Raspberry-Pi-Bartop-Arcade-Machine-Project#installing-gamemaker-games

[retronerd]

Anyone?

[hiulit]

@retronerd Ok, I've tried installing it via RetroPie Extra and it's not working for me either. I don't know why... :( Not booting...

[retronerd]

@hiulit how Did you installed IT When you got IT working?

[hiulit]

@retronerd I used these instructions https://github.com/hiulit/Murtop-Raspberry-Pi-Bartop-Arcade-Machine-Project#installing-gamemaker-games, but they don't work because some files, they don't exist anymore or they've changed. Take a look at https://github.com/bite-your-idols/gamemaker-pi and see if you can figure out a way to make it work

[hiulit]

OK, I think I found the problem.

When I tried to launch MalditaCastilla directly from the command line I got this error

./MalditaCastilla: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I installed libopenal-dev with:

sudo apt-get install libopenal-dev

And it's working!

[retronerd]

@hiulit how do i do this im a noob on Linux do you have an step by step guide?

[hiulit]

@retronerd Yes. Open a terminal or cmd, connect to your raspberry pi via SSH (you'll find that in Google easily or see if you fins this helpful https://github.com/hiulit/Murtop-Raspberry-Pi-Bartop-Arcade-Machine-Project#accessing-the-raspberry-pi-via-ssh) and type:

sudo apt-get install libopenal-dev

and then press enter

[herb_fargus]

@hiulit you should submit a pull request to the repo to add that dependecy in the script

[hiulit]

Hey @herb_fargus, yeah I know, I've already submited an issue because I really don't know where sudo apt-get install libopenal-dev should be placed :S

I guess it should be somewhere here? https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/blob/master/scriptmodules/ports/gamemaker.sh

But I don't have a clue on how to add it... :(

[herb_fargus]

@hiulit add the function right under the module flags

Here's an example. Of course it will need to be adapted to the correct module name and remove all the unnecessary dependencies.
