Were later versions of MMF somehow not backwards-compatible?

No idea; a quick Google tells me there were some compatibility issues

Heh.

I work on Gang Garrison 2, a game still actively developed which is also reliant on a dead game creation tool (Game Maker 8.0), so this is sadly familiar.

Do you know what happened to the project to redo GG2 in Python?

[TazeTSchnitzel]

It got abandoned after a bit. Nobody is willing to do the work needed to "finish" it.

Considered a ground-up rewrite using something like Unity? They have some kickass 2D tooling now, plus you get physics for free

Unity is closed-source; I'll bet in ten years we'll see the same thing happening again, with people trying desperately to find some way to run these old games that were developed on the no-longer-supported Unity platform.
