A project/database of sorts to make identifying which GMS version a given GameMaker (VM) game was built with easier, especially with GMS2 and upwards not including the runtime/build tools version in the data files. (This will not work with games compiled with YYC or GMRT.)

This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by YoYo Games or Opera Norway AS.

This project is intended to aid in legitimate reverse engineering and legal modification to games made with GMS.

Note that some games may use a custom compiled version of the runtime, even if they use VM code. These versions won't be included in the database.

A website is available at https://invoxiplaygames.github.io/GMSIdentify/index.html with a JavaScript implementation of looking up the GMS version from the PE timestamp of a given EXE. It runs entirely locally in the browser - no data is sent to/from a server.

A database of information (PE timestamp and .text segment hash) for Windows GMS runners is available in "runnerinfo_windows.csv" and can be referenced directly by URL:

https://invoxiplaygames.github.io/GMSIdentify/runnerinfo_windows.csv

The database will always have an entry with "METADATA" as its version field. The "timestamp" of this entry will be the Unix timestamp the database was last updated. Other fields of this are reserved for notes and updates.

No automation is currently set up for this.

The database is not complete by any means. If you have archived versions of runtime update feeds and corresponding ZIP files, please let me know! Currently looking to backfill Beta and NuBeta.
