Your games don't work for me.
"‘C:\users\user2\Temp\ir_ext_temp_0\hide.bat’ could not be recognized as an internal or external command, or as a batch script."
I use a 32-bit Linux system. Many games created with AppGameKit work for me using Wine. The games from zxretrosoft, for example, work for me.
hmm. a couple of thoughts are 1) my games generally maintain a profile or game save file where i don't think xzretros games do. and, 2) lately i've been compiling as 64 bit (since i've gone to a newer version of the language, it's the only option while i might be able to use the previous version to produce 32bit versions). is 64 bit an option for you?
add: 3) i use a home made (3rd party) form of media protection that zx also doesn't use which i'd bet is causing your issue. perhaps i'll look at a different approach, there, as i'd love to make my games available to as many as possible.
Thank you for your reply.
I use an MX-15 Debian Jessie 32-bit remaster that fits on a single CD. I can install this system on a computer in less than 10 minutes. Since I test a lot of software and often feel the need to reinstall my system, I use it frequently. I have no plans to switch to a 64-bit system at this time. The executable files for Volleytile and Fly Hard are 32-bit files. I get the above error message when I try to start these games. The problem on my Linux system could be that a file is supposed to be created in a folder that does not exist on my system. *.?
Best regards
Thanks again for your feedback. the 3rd Party "packer" software that i use, as i understand it, simply hides my files (which, i expect, is the "hide.bat" referenced above). the exe you're running is that software which goes on to extract my files into a hidden folder and then executes *my* exe while your experience isn't getting to that point.
that said, i pointed a friend to this thread last night and we've been prototyping ideas to obfuscate media which is all i aim to do; i'm trying to be responsible in keeping paid/commercial media from being easily circulated/distributed.
until that's ironed out and i can ditch the 3rd party software, i do have one older jam game that doesn't use it while it does write your best score to disc (if you achieve over 1000): if you would test P3 and advise if it runs properly, i would appreciate it as it would help me know that the 3rd party software is the culprit here, which is my hunch.
