gmport

Port Game Maker games to iOS.

Explanation

Game Maker games are inherently portable, as the Game Maker engine runs on many platforms. However, many games are only released for a subset of the supported platforms. This ports many Game Maker games to iOS. Games are controlled by a virtual gamepad that maps to digital keyboard input.

Supported Games

• AM2R (Another Metroid II Remake)
• Undertale in progress; hangs after battles

Configuration for specific games is under game. Other games are likely to work; send pull requests with the configuration.

Installation

Prequisites

• Recent macOS and Xcode.

• Ninja to build:

   brew install ninja
  

• ios-deploy to install:

   brew install node
   npm install -g ios-deploy
  

• An unmodified, decrypted copy of a Game Maker game for iOS. I used Crashlands, which is free, but others should also work.

• An original copy of the Game Maker game to port to iOS.

• An iOS Developer program membership, to re-sign the app.

Instructions

1. Modify input.ninja as necessary; see contents for documentation.

2. Build:

   ninja build
   

3. Install onto attached device:

   Alternatively, package the app in build and install with iTunes or OTA.
