      @mediamogul personally the only way they'll get publicity on the pi is if they are included with RetroPie at least as a script but since they didn't want that, their loss really.

        Thank you for the link! I took a look at the shell files and mimicked it within AM2R. I'll make sure to put the results after I give permissions to the shell files.

          So true... I too have never heard of these games before.

            I am having some extreme technical issues. Weather is bad and power keeps going out. XD

              So my current shell file for AM2R reads:
              #!/bin/sh# . /etc/profileMY_DIR="/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/am2r"chmod a+x $MY_DIR/*$MY_DIR/amr2

              The game appears in the ports menu on Emulation Station, but every time I try to run it I get a syntax error:
              "Unexpected word; was expecting ")""

              I have no idea why I get that error because the Gamemaker games have the exact same shell format and run fine. If anyone has an amazing Python prowess and can look at that line of code and be "Aw, I know exactly what you did wrong," it would be GREATLY appreciated!

                The game you are trying to run will not work because it is not complied for the ARM processor (RPI's processor). The 3 GameMaker games that were released were compiled for ARM, so you won't be able to do anything unless they release a RPI export module.

                Don't sweat it.
                When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.

                  Any progress on that? Is it possible to install and play it?

                      @914aaron I'm stuck at the same point as you were

                      ./am2r: 1: ./am2r: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

                        Nope. Not enough RAM...
                        I already attempted port this just like I did with Undertale, but same result...

                        Don't sweat it.
