This thread is no longer updated. You may resolve some basic issues using instructions listed here. (19.09.2022)

MAKE SURE YOUR SYSTEM IS UP TO DATE. NO, WINDOWS XP SP2 IS TOO OLD - UPDATE TO SERVICE PACK 3.

------- ALL SYSTEMS -------
Accessing the save folder:
If you made a mess of the maps or need to reset your configuration, go to options, misc and select reset all mappacks or reset all settings. If you can't access the game, you'll need to manually get to the save directory:

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Love\ or %appdata%\Love\
Windows Vista and 7: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\LOVE or %appdata%\Love\
Linux: $XDG_DATA_HOME/love/ or ~/.local/share/love/
OSX: /Users/user/Library/Application Support/LOVE/

Error: [string "main.lua"]:13: attempt to call field 'setDefaultImageFilter' (anil value) - You're running outdated Löve. You will need to use Löve 0.8.0 (package name love-unstable, for windows https://love2d.org/builds/ (download lowest - newest))

Pink pig and nothing happens - You modded the game and repackaged or ran it wrong. Try again.

Laggy game / Game worked fine before, now laggy - Make sure you've selected 32bit color depth in your display adapter settings.

------- WINDOWS -------
MSVCR100.dll - Make sure you've downloaded the latest release.

DevIL.dll - You have not extracted all files into a single folder. Make sure you extracted every single file from the archive into a folder and the run the game from that folder.

Mari0 running slow on Vista or 7 - try disabling Aero. This likely won't work if you're not using an integrated GPU. Thanks to jakobs98 - Likely fixed in 1.4

Game screen is black on start - Windows XP - no known definite fix. Installing windows and graphics card driver updates might fix the issue - Fixed for some in 1.2, still occuring - Likely fixed in 1.4

------- LINUX -------
Löve 0.8.0 is now the stable release - no need to install love-unstable.

------- OSX -------
Version 10.5 is the minimum requirement to run Mari0. PPC is not supported and won't be.

audio.lua:27:Could not read Ogg bitsteam - No known fix at the moment - Fixed since 1.2

Stutter while playing - Workaround: turn the sound off in the options/pause menu - This should be fixed

Can only shoot one portal - If you're using a single button mouse (why would you even do that) use Ctrl + click to shoot secondary portal. If you're using a touchpad, 2 finger tap.

------- NONE OF THESE THINGS WORK. WHAT NOW? -------
Before you make a thread in the TECHNICAL SUPPORT FORUM AND NOT HERE, make sure you get
- Any text that the game/anything else outputs
- Operating system, version of operating system
- System specifications

Any way to actually speed up the game? i have all the default settings it came with but its just really slow. almost half speed of normal mario

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 00:33**

download the source and play with it!

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 00:36**

contemplated on doing that. just doubling numbers to make it faster for me. my comp can play crysis in full settings flawlessly but this runs slow >.> fml

You can remove the fps minimum, but the game will behave strangely then.
main.lua line 729

@saso ok I think you can safely add : for linux (at least recent ubuntu users) : run the following commands

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bartbes/love-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install love-unstable

And then run the .love source file WITH LOVE-UNSTABLE

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 00:40**

the speed is pretty close to the original super mario bros game anyway?

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 00:44**

How do I run the .love source with love-unstable? I can't find how to do it. I've done everything else.

either right-click->open with and then type in "love-unstable" in the command line or run "$ love-unstable [mario-file-name].love" in the folder you have extracted the love file into.

Windows 8 mate? Sure it's not windows 7?

I'm having a problem with the installation of love-unstable:

user@user-hpPAVdv850:~$ sudo apt-get install love-unstable
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package love-unstable

(On Ubuntu 11.10, in case that's relevant)
Regular love installed just fine, but do I need to somehow uninstall that first? :/
Help would be appreciated.

Also, I already added the repository.

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 01:19**

did you run sudo apt-get update to update your repos? adding the ppa is one step, but you do need to update your repos before it's recognized in your lists

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 01:31**

Everybody who uses Windows 7: DISABLE AERO THEME! IT MIGHT HELP!
Really though, please add this to the OP, Saso. I spent ~1 hour researching this all alone in the dark in the middle of the night. Don't make others have to suffer the very same issue. This was done when the game was running really slowly. Less than 1 FPS and constant freezes. I beg you, add this. For the sake of others!

Edit 1: Saso! I just added this to catch your attention. Now read the rest of the message ;D
Edit 2: Made huge text not so huge.

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 01:38**

Alright, the updating worked (Can't believe I didn't think of that), and was able to launch the game via "love-unstable mari0_1.0.love" once I used cd to get into the folder.

Uh I'm still not sure if you're trying to open the source or just run the game

But regardless of that, looking at your system specs, I doubt you'll be able to run it smoothly, if at all.

DEBIAN (DEBIAN LIKE-DISTRO) USERS
(if you have no add-apt-repo like me)
The latest verion of LOVE in debians repo is 0.7.2 and it is in SID
Mari0 doesn't work on this. Compiling LOVE from source failed too ;)

Code: Select all

wget https://launchpad.net/~bartbes/+archive/love-unstable/+files/love-unstable_0.8.0~r1012-0maverick1_amd64.deb
su root
Password: 123456
dpkg -i love-unstable_0.8.0~r1012-0maverick1_amd64.deb

And it works ;)

I think you can replace this method with the one in the top post ;) This method is for all debian-like distros, not only for ubuntu.

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 04:02**

of course this is only for amd64 versions. Check in the https://launchpad.net/~bartbes/+archive/love-unstable/ folders for the appropriate version for you

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 05:13**

OK so:
I downloaded the updated game (the one that fixed the .dll error), extracted the files and started playing.
At first, there were no issues, and I was enjoying myself. After shutting own the game however, things changed.
Upon restarting the game, it was business as usual, and I was taken to the main menu screen. I could move
through the different options, even select the amount of players, but I could not select any of the options.
I cannot start the game, choose mappacks, change my settings or anything. I am currently running a
HP Pavilion Laptop with Windows 7, 1.9GHz dual core processor and 4GB RAM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: So, I tried the modified .love file that replaces all instances of the enter key with backspace, and it works now!

Problems on OS X. (Lion)
I have macbook pro 13'', core i5 2.3, 4 gb ddr3, intel HD Graphics 3000 348 mb.
Everything runs great, but in 5 minutes (or after i go underground) every time when i get a coin, or kill somebody, or use portals, or break a brick (or even jump) the game stops for a second. That's it)

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 06:19**

Please help.I keep getting the message that says This application has failed to start because DevIL.dll was not found.I've reinstalled the game many times and it still does not work.I use windows.

Disabling sound will fix it (but obviously you won't have sound). Hopefully a more permanent fix will come soon.

Help?

Edit: And I'd just like to add that the comments in the source make me lol for real.

You're using LÖVE 0.7.2, you need to run it with 0.8.0.

I really don't know. you're not using shaders ? Did you try with the source version (with love2d 0.8.x) ?

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 15:24**

Haj, I have a small problem. I can't open a game.

I tried install MSVCR100.dll, delate that folder, reinstall, install Love 0.8.0, and I tried run in second computer (with Windows 7)... and nothing.

I do not changed ANY settings, so shaders are off.

Hey,

So, Ubuntu 11.04, 8 GB RAM, 1GB ATI Raedon card.

I first tried to run it just with love and the mari0.love file, and got the bluescreen, so I tried it with unstable and got some std::logic errors, and figured out you can unpack the thing.

If I move into ~/.local/shar/love/mari0/ and from there run /usr/bin/love_unstable ~/Documents/Games/mari0/mari0.love, having unpacked the love file there (so all the lua files are visible), all I get is quality setting failed. I'm not sure how to allocate more resources to this, being on linux, but as you can see above, I've got the hardware to run it.

Here's the whole error:
Warning, quality setting failed! (Result: buffers: 1, samples: 8)
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
[1] 1802 abort love-unstable mari0_1.0.love

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here
Andrew

Posted: **04 Mar 2012, 18:00**

hey andrew - not sure there, but it looks like you have a bad love-unstable install. See if you can run any .love game with it.
For example try my awesome version of mari0 http://www.mediafire.com/?w2fuhy6b0v0lb12
