Possibly. I know that steam does work with Wine. The big problem is making it accessible. Can Steam be made to speak with sapi? If not, then it would be nearly impossible to actually play games with it because of the complex navigation.

I wonder if you would be able to add the old ESP games such as monkey business, alien outback, and ESP pinball and things like that, the only question is, for those of us with non-Adora entertainment or whatever they’re called keys, because they don’t offer replacements anymore, what could we do and that regard? Because I’m kind of doubting the older keys are compatible with the newer iterations of the files

I don’t think it works with sappy by default, but then again you don’t know jack games that I am referring to, aren’t screen reader  friendly anyways, not that they would really need to be, because I think all you do is press enter on them, and they load and start talking to you. Then again, I think you do have to login to be able to play the games anyway, and I’m not sure how that could work automatically.

Another thing is, I can’t run a hunter, because it wants me to configure it before running. And with the whole registration thing, I don’t know how that would work, because it’s not accessible. I would love to have all the other BSc games added though. :-)

Those games all require a lot of automated intervention that we can do on Linux with xdotool. Mac has no X session, therefore, xdotool won't work. I am pretty sure that there is something for Mac that provides the same functionality, and I have people looking into it.
There are a few games that only take a few key presses, and I will probably add a list of them and their key presses to the wiki. For example, Finger Panic requires you to press alt+y and then the installation continues. Hopefully I'll have something in place for this in a few more days.

Hi:

This seems interesting. Will games like Manamon 2 and AHC eventually be playable on the Mac with this Manager?

I think Manamon 2 should work. As for A Hero's Call, it's hard to say. I can't even get that one working on my computer. I was about to remove it from the manager, but then I found out it does work for several people.
If you do try them, let us know your results. If you want to wait until someone else tries them, keep checking back and I will post results as soon as I can.

how about psycho strike? I'd love to play that one. also, i got this error when running Judgement day on mac os:
riable or with block variable not set
sounds like a programming issue. all other games work fine. well, they don't error out anyway. smile

2020-12-16 18:24:46

Psycho Strike freezes at the end of the first level. Not sure why. Judgement Day requires some gstreamer libraries. When tested on the Mac, the gstreamer libraries didn't work with Judgement Day. I have someone looking into it, but so far no word on how to fix it.
I do not have a Psycho Strike license, so maybe I just reached the end of the demo, but I figured there would be a message. there was nothing, it just stopped. If that is the end of the demo, and there is no message, I can add it. I just figured it didn't work.

Well fortunately I have a license. What about the gate, or Pac-Man talks? Ironically enough I have a license for all three of those games.

my mac gives vget aerrors.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.

2020-12-16 19:28:24

One other game that I can think of adding, SBYW or whatever it’s called? I think that’s what it’s called anyway. :-)

an update for revenge of the undead today  I can’t install, because I get a fatal error message about not being able to create a temporary directory. The update downloads and extract fine, until that air pops up. I even tried to remove it and re-download it from the installation portion of the managercome but I still  got an update message. What do I do? Basically it’s a vicious circle.
Edit:
I was able to fix it by downloading the game from the website, and just put in the executable in the wine directory, but I shouldn’t have to do that.

2020-12-16 22:54:28

I had someone test Revenge of the Undead and they were able to install and play it. I wonder if you are running low on drive space.

I have not found anyone who can reproduce wget problems. if it won't work though, try downloading the game with your browser and put the file in ~/.config/stormgames/audiogame-manager/cache
run the installer and it will use the cache instead of trying to get the game with wget.

Not in the slightest, I have over 44 GB free. I don’t know what the problem was.

There is a new version of Audiogame Manager available. if you are running the Linux version everything should update like normal. for those of you running the Mac version, please download from the website again.
https://stormgames.wolfe.casa/downloads … er.mac.zip
After this version, automatic updates should work on the Mac as well. This version includes a couple new command line flags. Use the -h flag for details. There are a few new games, including Triple Triad and Pacman Talks.

Will I have to make it an executable again On macOS? Also, you may want to remove hunter, because it kind of can’t be ran right now, unless there’s a way you can run the configuration file?

So I just became a Patreon, how do I get access to what I paid for with the one dollar tier? :-)

Hunter works on Linux. It is listed in the games that do not work with Mac. As soon as I can find a key entry automation tool for mac that doesn't freak out the security features all these games that require intervention will just start working. In related news, I figured out a way around several xdotool calls, so in the next release more games will install without intervention. These include Finger Panic, Christmas Whoopass, and one or two more that I can't remember.

Do you know how you would successfully enter your registration information for the GMA games? When I hit enter and I’m in the registration dialogue, whenever I hit space to enter my last name, something either closes, or I get the demo version of the game.

2020-12-17 21:05:01 (edited by stormdragon2976 2020-12-17 21:08:10)

I think you enter your GMA account userid, and it looks it up online to see if you have keys.
Edit: I was asking someone about this, and they think you may start on the cancel button. you might need to tab before typing in your registration info.

Thought of another couple games you could add: the gate, BTH, I think that’s called battle of the hunter or something, And, one which is probably in testing, and has no doubt been mentioned several times here, eurofly.

2020-12-18 19:57:42

The Gate freezes when the game actually launches, which actually makes me very sad, because the intro is awesome! I want to play it lol. Eurofly gives a 404 when redirecting to the game's download link. maybe there's a new install file in the works? I'll try again later.

Could you not get it from the audio game archive or something? I mean I don’t know how the script is set up to download executable files… That be interesting to find out though. :-) Like if you could direct it to a certain URL if you know a better place to get it? I mean as an end-user…
