AM2R for Android — v1.5.5.4

The feature-completeness update: palette recolors and GameBoy display mode are in, plus a graphics fix for 1080p phones. Install over the existing app — saves are kept (do not uninstall first).

Added

  • Suit and Metroid palette swapping is back. The palette system the PC release uses (PixelatedPope's Retro Palette Swapper, now open source under MIT) has been integrated, replacing the placeholder that shipped in earlier versions. Fusion mode now shows its proper suit colors and Metroid recolors, exactly like the PC game. Custom palette mods work the same way they do on PC.
  • GameBoy display mode is back. The original shader asset the PC game used is no longer available anywhere, so this port ships its own clean-room implementation: the full frame quantized to four shades in your choice of the classic palettes (Olive, Blue, Black & White, Virtualtroid, Green, or Custom). Toggle it under Extras in the options.

Fixed

  • Jagged on pixel edges at 1080p and similar screen resolutions. At display sizes that aren't an exact multiple of the game's internal resolution (2400x1080 is 4.5x), pixels rendered unevenly.
  • Several palette mod files (space-jump trails, spiderball glow, morph-ball trail colors) silently failed to load on Android due to a file-path case mismatch — they now load as on PC.

Known issues

  • Letterboxing on screens taller than 16:9 is intentional (matches PC framing)

How to get it — bring your own AM2R 1.1

This release is distributed autopatcher-style, like every AM2R community
release: you supply your own copy of the original AM2R 1.1 release
(AM2R_11.zip), and the patcher builds the game on your phone, verified
byte-for-byte.

  1. Get your AM2R_11.zip onto your phone (Downloads, SD card, a cloud app —
    anywhere the file picker can reach).
  2. Install AM2R-Patcher-1.5.5.4.apk below (allow installs from your file
    manager when Android asks).
  3. Open AM2R Patcher, tap Choose AM2R_11.zip…, pick your zip, wait about
    a minute, then tap Install AM2R.

Only the genuine, unmodified AM2R 1.1 game data is accepted — the patcher
checks it automatically and rejects anything else.

Patched-APK SHA-256 (your output will match this exactly):
5a7add34d34351a7f06b6fac4bafc227a57ffe0e721750eb2dab3dc75e6467db

Already have 1.5.5.3 installed? The patched APK installs right over it —
saves are kept (do not uninstall first).

Found a bug? Open an issue with your device model, Android version, where in the game it happened, and a screenshot/recording if possible.
