I've downloaded the game, but when it starts there's no sound (effects, music). I can't think of anything I can do to fix it. Any ideas?

I had that problem and I found some of the sounds/music was not in the Spelunky_1_1 folder.  There should be about 70 or more sound/music files. (I found only 1/2 dozen in the Sound folder.  If you have more than one sound folder, copy all the sound/music files associated with Spelunky into the Sound folder in the Spelunky_1_1 folder which you are running the executable from.

Hi, maybe this has been asked before but I really can't go through 300+ pages right now 

Is it possible to copy the Spelunky stats to a new computer? If so, how?

I have my stats file in the Spelunky folder but it doesn't seem to use it. Also it didn't keep my shortcuts that I bought from the digger (I care less about the shortcuts).

Thanks in advance!

It's a little bit complicated, as the data is stored in the registry. Check out this page for information on exporting the data and transferring it to a different computer: http://spelunky.wikia.com/wiki/Portable_Spelunky

Alternatively, you can use Spelunky Portable, a mod which stores all your scores onto a file which can be easily transferred between computers. You will have to import your scores from the registry when you first use it, but after that you won't have to fiddle with the registry ever again. http://mossmouth.com/forums/index.php?topic=1219.0

Thanks for the link! I always wondered if there was a way to have the scores written to a file instead of the registry, and this mod is great!

I used Game Maker for Mac to make a Mac port of Spelunky 1.0.

http://l.j-factor.com/gamemaker/SpelunkyMac.zip

I've been working on this for a little while but it wasn't until the release of the Caster extension this June that I was able to fully replicate the Windows version's behaviour without the use of DLLs.

I had to use the 1.0 source because 1.1 is in Game Maker 8 format, which is not compatable with Game Maker for Mac at the moment. Yes, I tried using LateralGM to down-grade the 1.1 source file, but I ran into a number of problems (for one, the transparent pixels of GM8 sprites are converted to solid black, which would be very tedious to manually fix) and I decided it would be faster to just use 1.0's source.

One small thing: due to a bug in GM for Mac, fullscreen mode doesn't work the same as the Windows version. You only get one size (fill your entire screen) and you can't use F4 to toggle in and out of it without the surface-drawing routines no longer functioning correctly (which is why I had to remove that functionality).

Anyway, I hope it works on your system.

Cool, thank you for your efforts!

I'm definitely going to try this.

(Caught the news via RPS, by the way.)

Is is possible to produce PPC executables?

[jotapeh]

Awwww YEAH mac port. thank you. thank you. thank you

I really love this game. Spelunky is my favorite game for all times of gaming. Need to do multiplayer in Windows version!

[Storsorgen]

I like it alot, but there seems to be a strange thing where it runs really slow, and then seemingly random goes to full speed. Whenever I restart it, it is slow. Has this been noticed before?

[AlwaysGeeky]

So amazing. love it to bits!

[st33d]

Awesome. Nice to play this on the mac. Good job with the port.

[st33d]

Okay, someone linked me to a wineskin version of 1.1 for Mac: http://bit.ly/spelunkymac

It works but the wrapper is a bit kooky.

Can someone tell me what was added in the 0.1 without having to re-read the entire thread?

[Jammo]

Fantastic game. Somebody should get Derek's permission to update the PC version to include features of the xbox version.

But Derek still owns the rights to everything he did specifically for XBLA and he hasn't released that under a similar license.

[Dacke]

Hm, that's true.

But new mechanics, level-themes and generic enemies can't be copyrighted. If someone makes new sprites 'inspired' by the XBLA version it's fine. The thing that could pose a problem is uniquely identifiable characters (if there are any new ones?)

At the same time, I'd say that it's close to impossible that Derek would have a problem with a demake

[Nix]

I would love a demake or at least a PC release of Spelunky XBLA. I don't see myself getting an Xbox any time soon. Have they said anything about their contract and the likelihood of a PC release?

I asked in the reddit Q&A, they said they were planning on it, but it wouldn't be this year
