    This was an awesome tutorial and I was able to get AM2R running, thank you so much! I did have an issue with the default controls and had to manually set them up in settings but after that it worked perfectly.

      Same here. Had to move to each control, press the A button to select the empty control, and then tap the button I wanted.

    you don't need to actually make a file to run AM2R, just add anything as a non steam game, change the name, remove the "Target" and "Start in" and copy the command into the "launch options"

    Note that you need to update the base files when first running the launcher. After that it will allow you to link to your 1.1 zip file.

    Does anyone have any tips for getting the controls to work? If ran directly through the launcher in desktop mode i can get past the start screen, but cannot go further. Pressing some buttons changes the icon by “select” to “[A]” but that’s it.

      @knockbackvania  Год назад +1

      That's what was happening to me at first and I got around it somehow. I want to say that I launched it manually (rather than via the launcher) and once it was launched once manually, it would launch through the launcher just fine. The contents of the script are in the description, so you can copypasta it. Report back if you can.
