According to the wiki page about the engine itself

https://aderack.com/game-maker/index.php?title=Game-Maker

all game maker games use the same modified VGA resolution
of 312x196, but according to the appendix of the manual

https://aderack.com/game-maker/downloads/Manual.pdf

you can also configure games to use SVGA mode for
ATI, ATI Wonder, Trident 8800 or 8900, Paradise,
Tseng ET3000 or ET4000, or "simulate" mode, which
is described as slower. I would assume that the
latter avoids evil hardware specific tricks

This seems to be something which can be done with
all games by starting a binary with the command
line option "configure", which sounds promising.
