Howto: Run Gamemaker 7.0 in Linux using Wine Options

[Peter Willemsen]

Hello!
First of all: Sorry for my bad english

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

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.

The play button works for me

It will not work everytime, i'll working on an better version

I have tested the tutorial on Ubuntu 7.04

Thanks for testing, thats great news

If the play button works then it must be possible to play gm games in wine

Great tutorial. Let us know when you finish your patch

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

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.

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.
