This is a wrapper for Pi games built on GameMaker that had originally targeted the dispmanx-based graphics libraries. This allows for running these legacy binaries with the Mesa driver on Raspbian Stretch or newer, but might also serve to run the programs on non-Broadcom chips.
This was forked from xobs/mcrpi-wrapper with the following modifications:
- Removed unnecessary counters that were delaying necessary egl*() API calls
- Added shims for GLES1 functions to their GLES2 counterparts lacking the OES suffix
- Reduced requested resolution, otherwise window fails to initialize properly

Clone this repo.
sudo apt install libegl1-mesa-dev libgles1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libsdl1.2-dev
cd gamemaker-rpi-wrapper
make
sudo raspi-config # Enable full OpenGL with KMS
Note if /opt/vc/lib/lib{EGL,GLESv2}.so are present (the case on Jessie),
remove both files. These were renamed to libbrcm{EGL,GLESv2}.so for Stretch
to avoid conflicts with /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib{EGL,GLESv2}.so
cd path/to/SuperCrateBox # or one of the other games from YoYo Games
LD_PRELOAD=path/to/gamemaker-rpi-wrapper/libbcm_host.so.1.0 ./SuperCrateBox
Super Crate Box works well. Maldita Castilla is quite playable although the world jitters when running forward. They Need To Be Fed seems to have trouble properly handling mouse movement and clicks.
