AM2RLauncher for Linux
A front-end for dealing with AM2R updates and mods
Overview
AM2RLauncher is a software tool designed for Linux users who want to play and manage AM2R updates and mods.
AM2R stands for Another Metroid 2 Remake, a fan-made version of the game Metroid II: Return of Samus, made to look like Metroid: Zero Mission.
The original AM2R was created by DoctorM64 and released in 2016 but later faced legal issues from Nintendo.
After that, fans worked together to reverse engineer the game and made unofficial updates called AM2R-Community-Updates.
These updates fixed bugs, added new features like widescreen support, included content planned by the original developers, and made the game work on new platforms.
This launcher helps you use those community updates in an easy way.
It automatically downloads updates and lets you install different mods for AM2R.
A unique feature is the option to create APK files, which are needed to play the game on Android mobile phones.
However, the launcher does not provide any of the original AM2R game files because those are copyrighted.
You will need to use your own copy of the AM2R_11 game file to make the launcher work.
AM2RLauncher is only available for Linux.
It does not offer official user support or detailed documentation, but users can communicate and find help through community channels.
This tool is meant for people who want a safe and simple way to manage AM2R mods and updates on Linux, especially if you want to try the game on your phone.
