 +==== Old 32-bit game ====
 +
 +For games which require 32-bit libraries and can't find them on their own:
 +
 +<file bash run.sh>
 +#!/bin/sh
 +cd "$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"
 + 
 +unclutter-remote -h
 +export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib32
 +export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/lib32/dri
 +export SPA_PLUGIN_DIR="/lib32/spa-0.2:/usr/lib/spa-0.2"
 +export PIPEWIRE_MODULE_DIR="/lib32/pipewire-0.3:/usr/lib/pipewire-0.3"
 +exec ./start.sh
 +</file>
 +
 +==== Old Game Maker Studio game: Maldita Castilla ====
 +
 +Games written in older versions of Game Maker Studio will depend on a collection of 32-bit libraries not included with Batocera. (If the game's executable is just named ''runner'', that's a good sign that you have a GMS game... though some developers will rename it.)
 +
 +More broadly, if the ''file'' command on a more general-purpose Linux setup says that the game executable is an ''ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386'', then these instructions will likely get it working, though they may be overkill.
 +
 +[[https://namethattech.wordpress.com/2020/09/04/from-gamemaker-to-ubuntu-14-16-18-and-beyond/|This blog post]] details how to build the required library bundle and includes a mention that, if you trust the author, you can just grab the ''lib'' folder and adapt the wrapper script from their [[https://juanitogan.itch.io/river-raid-squadron|River Raid Squadron]] game on Itch.io.
 +
 +(If both of those links die, you can just build the libraries the error messages complain about one-by-one until the game works.)
 +
 +If you place the ''lib'' folder inside the game folder, a suitable SH file will look something like this:
 +
 +<file sh Maldita Castilla.sh>
 +#!/bin/sh
 +DIR="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"
 +
 +cd "${DIR}/.data/MalditaCastilla"
 +
 +unclutter-remote -h
 +export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib:/lib32
 +export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/lib32/dri
 +export SPA_PLUGIN_DIR="/lib32/spa-0.2:/usr/lib/spa-0.2"
 +export PIPEWIRE_MODULE_DIR="/lib32/pipewire-0.3:/usr/lib/pipewire-0.3"
 +./runner

 Batocera's libraries are stored in ''/usr/lib/'', some games may also be hard-coding their paths and try searching in ''/lib'' for instance, necessitating changing the path told to the game to be inside of ''/usr'' instead. Batocera's libraries are stored in ''/usr/lib/'', some games may also be hard-coding their paths and try searching in ''/lib'' for instance, necessitating changing the path told to the game to be inside of ''/usr'' instead.

 +==== Other Known Bugs in Old Humble Bundle Linux Releases ====
 +
 +  * Some games (eg. Wizorb) will crash on startup if more than four joystick devices are present. (eg. If you have two dual-port controller adapters with one controller plugged into each, plus an X-Box 360 controller, and the adapters always make their ports visible to the host whether or not a controller is actually connected.)
 +  * Some games (eg. Jamestown) which include both 32-bit and 64-bit executables will require you specifically use the 32-bit version as the 64-bit binary crashes with no known fix.
 +  * If your game is XNA-based and you're getting a crash with the following error on startup, add an ''export TERM=vt100'' line to the SH file. <code>
 +System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Console' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.ConsoleDriver' threw an exception. ---> System.Exception: Magic number is wrong: 542</code> The terminal type database's format got extended at some point and that error means that your game is too old to understand the extended-format entries that your terminal emulator is using to announce its capabilities.
