AM2R Android — 1.5.5.7

Feature release. As always, nothing playable is hosted here: the patcher
turns your own copy of the original AM2R 1.1 release (AM2R_11.zip) into
the Android build. Previous patched apks will update over newer versions, saves are kept.

Added

  • Controller freezing/swapping fixed. Both inputs are now always
    active: a controller disconnect no longer leaves the game waiting, touch
    takes over instantly. The on-screen controls appear when you touch the
    screen and fade after ~4 seconds idle; while a controller is connected, a
    stray touch only shows the overlay instead of firing inputs. (optimized for Retroid Pocket 6)
  • Save backup and restore, with two-way PC transfer. Options → Data can
    copy your saves to any folder you pick, and restore them slot-by-slot —
    with a preview of each save (time, items, difficulty) and a choice of
    which slot it lands in. Transfer works in both directions with the
    original PC release: a copy of your PC save folder (Windows:
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\AM2R, Linux: ~/.config/AM2R) restores directly, and
    backups made on Android are written in the PC save format, so a backup
    folder copied into the PC save directory just works. Records data
    (statistics and completion records) transfers too. Saves are encrypted
    with a per-build key, so the port converts formats automatically in both
    directions.
  • "Scaling" display option. Display Options → Scaling switches between
    Fill Screen (uses the whole screen) and Pixel Perfect
    (whole-number scaling for perfectly sharp pixels with
    small black borders. Optimized for Retroid Pocket 6). Fill Screen is also noticeably sharper than before, matching the PC look. (Thanks to a handheld player's
    reports.)
  • Fusion, New Game+ and Random Game+ are available from the start.
    Veterans no longer need to re-earn the unlocks to access the extra modes.

Changed

  • New boot screen artwork. The "a controller is recommended" screen has
    a fresh controller sprite. sprite made by Shikibu (@zora64864348 on X)

Fixed

  • On-screen controls no longer get stuck on every menu after visiting
    Options → Control Options with a controller connected.

Updating

  • Run the patcher (Android app or PC script) against your AM2R_11.zip.
  • Installing the result over 1.5.5.6 (or any earlier 1.5.5.x) keeps your
    saves.
  • A genuine patched APK reports this SHA-256:
3cee42d61b9458bbdd206229ba5099c5360e0915b466afd2b777390827a9b59c

The patcher verifies this automatically and refuses to emit an unverified
result.
