MircoM8 runner does not seem to work

I installed the MicroM8 runner and tried to manually configure an Apple II game by selecting the runner and pointing it to an Apple II floppy. Debug output shows a “No game found in library” error, but no indication of specifically what file it is looking for that it can’t find.

I figured out that I was running incorrectly when trying to obtain the debug output above. The real issue is that the downloaded microm8 binary does not have the exec attribute set. The workaround, after downloading the runner, is to chmod a+x ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/microm8/microm8.
