Issue when trying to import Gatete Mario Engine 9 into Gamemaker Studio 2 - starscape - 08-27-2026

The issue is presented in these screenshots. One screenshot shows how I'm trying to import the engine, and the other shows the error i get when importing. Any help is appreciated.

Click on the Open button. Then navigate to GateteMarioEngine9.yyp and open that file.

If that doesn't fix the problem, could you tell the IDE and runtime versions you're using?

This is what shows up.      What is an IDE and how do i find out the runtime? Thank you.

From the "Welcome to GameMaker" screen, check the upper-right corner of the screen. For my version, it says "IDE v2026.0.0.16 Runtime v2026.0.0.23".

An IDE is an integrated development environment. In your case, it's a graphical user interface for programming games in the GameMaker software.

My IDE and runtime match what yours are as shown here      thank you.

I'd suggest (re-)downloading the latest version of the engine from the forum topic. Then extract the files from the ZIP and try opening that.

Ok, thank you, will see if this works at some point

Ok, I've tried it, it showed this

How exactly did you downloaded the engine files?


RE: Issue when trying to import Gatete Mario Engine 9 into Gamemaker Studio 2 - starscape - 09-01-2026

both times from the github link on this thread https://forums.mfgg.net/thread-3013.html


edit:ok so when i rename the yyp file to an exe it just becomes the game. is that normal, or could it be something i did a few weeks ago and just forgot about?

edit 2: ok i deleted everything relating to the engine off my pc, redownloaded, and now when i attempt to open something in gamemaker theres no folder for the engine in my gamemaker projects folder, so im really confused, very sorry if this is a big misunderstanding on my part (which i think it probably is). Thank you for helping.

Okay, I see the problem.

You need to extract absolutely all files from the repository into the folder and then you open up the .yyp file in GameMaker

This wiki article in the repository explains how:
