How to install GameMaker Games?

[retronerd]

I have created a file called gamemaker.sh in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports
and paste the module nfo inside. What do i do next?
i have looked in experimental package but i cant see anything related to Gamemaker there?

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
