Hello!
First of all: Sorry for my bad english tongue.gif

I'm new to this forums, I hope that this is usefull.
--------------
Do you want to run gamemaker 7.0.5 in Linux? It's possible!

First, Download Wine from www.winehq.com (follow the instructions on the site)

Then, Download gamemaker (www.gamemaker.nl)

Install gamemaker using wine (In a terminal: type: wine "path to gmaker.exe")

Try to start game maker, you'll get a error dry.gif

Download this file here

Replace the Game_maker.exe in /home/unername/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Game_Maker7/
with the downloaded one

Try to run gamemaker again, now it will work. (hopefully)

please note that the Pro version will not work. only the lite version will work

EDIT: I have added an screenshot.

Awesome! I'm going to use it next patch. tongue.gif
Linux Mint is the best OS since.... Ever, in my
opinion, that is. I love it sooo much. wink1.gif

Games don't work. It's just like GM6. Can't
initialize Direct Music Audio, or whatever.
The game shuts down, it goes back to
the GM7 deal. sleep.gif

The program will run in LITE version even if I enter my 7.0 reg key, correct?

EDIT : Unfortunately, the games don't run for me (even one with just a blank room), good work though..

First of all, he explained that it will not work with GM PRO.
Second of all, I already told you guys that games don't work. sleep.gif
