Release Balatro Lite v1.2.0 · Guandor/Balatro-Lite

This release introduces Android support and makes the small screen layout and performance modifications optional.

Added a game-free Android APK alongside the PortMaster release. The APK does not contain Balatro or redistribute any purchased game files.
On first launch, Android asks for your legally owned Balatro.exe or Balatro.love and patches it entirely on the device.
Added setup options for:
- Small-screen or original Balatro layout.
- Optimized or original performance settings.
Added Initialize Port Settings to the in-game Options menu. Changes are applied after restarting.
APK updates automatically rebuild the patched game from the privately stored original.
Added Android touch input, display, shader, save-path, and compatibility fixes.
Added support for using Start to open and close the pause menu on handhelds.
Improved PortMaster’s first-launch setup and automatic rebuild detection.
Layout and performance choices are now independent on PortMaster.

The Android importer currently supports Balatro 1.0.1o.
Android uses the system/SDL controller mapping and does not run PortMaster’s button-label setup.
Imported game files and saves are kept in private app storage. Clearing app data or uninstalling the APK removes them.
Existing PortMaster users can reopen all setup questions through Options → Initialize Port Settings.

Install

Requires your own copy of Balatro.

Install balatrolite-v1.2.0.apk. On first launch, choose your own Balatro.exe; importing and patching happen on the device.

Download balatrolite-v1.2.0.zip, then either:

copy it, still zipped, into PortMaster's autoinstall folder and open PortMaster, or
unzip it into your device's ports folder.

Either way, then copy your Balatro game file into the balatrolite folder.
See the README for which file that is.
