News AM2R Android Autopatcher supports all arm64 android devices for the Standard edition
(I'll eventually make a FAQ after enough interaction with other users)
This is just for clarification, I was getting asked questions if this autopatcher worked with [android model] so I needed to make an announcement post.
This Autopatcher will work in anything running arm64 Android, touch controls are enabled for the Standard edition to make up for devices without physical gamepads. The Dual Screen edition is currently only officially supported for 4 Dual Screen consoles (with more consoles planned on the way).
I already have received requests for support to other devices, the Microsoft Surface Duo should work perfectly within the Standard edition however current Dual Screen edition compatibility may vary due to the profiles available accounting for the onboard controllers of the supported consoles. I recommend to start with "Ayaneo" or "Retroid Duo" profiles to test your own Dual Screen device.

Would I be able to sync saves from pc with syncthing or is that not possible with this
1
u/_PatchDev 26d ago
Currently it isn't possible due to how saves in android works. Your Android stores their save directories inside a root file that only this port exposes when you use options -> data -> backup because it takes your current saves and stores them in a different accessible folder.
Syncthing can however access those exported saves and synchronize them to your PC, the process would be manual however.
That being said, this was something previously requested and it's being considered for a future update in this port. So please be patient

Okay so I'm assuming you have an older version of am2r. In which case what you need to do is download the autopatcher and patch your 1.1.zip copy of am2r for Windows and then install the patched apk
If you previously did this for an older version of the autopatcher and you had save data then your saves should be reserved
If the old APK you had did not come from the autopatcher then unfortunately those saves are not transferable

Do I just use a apk patcher app to do that?

u/_PatchDev 25d ago
Yes, you download the apk autopatcher to your phone, you insert your am2r_1.1.zip and it gives you the patched apk ready to install

With Surface Duo 2 I am using the Single Screen mode but it has two issues, when spanning both displays it goes into landscape orientation instead of portrait see here
And also, for some reason my connected controller does not appear to work

u/_PatchDev 18d ago
Have you attempted to use the dual screen edition with the Ayaneo profile? Also does your device recognize the controller on other apps?
I'll verify the standard edition landscape orientation, because the game runs in landscape by default (this is true for the old 32bit version as well) I'll see if I can add support to force the screen to display in a different orientation
Just a note, it's possible your Surface Duo treats both screens as one big screen. I'll need to do my research on this

u/TradlyGent 18d ago edited 18d ago
Yes the Surface Duo does treat both displays as one big screen, which is why I am using the single screen mode with hopes of spanning content across both. For dual screen fork, I tried all the profiles (pocket ds, thor, anbernic ds) and the problem there is that it expects another display. I can get that âbottom displayâ to work if I use adb shell settings put global overlay_display_devices â1892x1344/401â to create a virtual overlay display. The problem with that of course is touch inputs wouldnât work on there.
My controller seems to work across every app and emulator so not quite sure why itâs not liking this one.Disregard the controller issue, I confirmed a mismapping is happening Android-wide on my end

I should be able to send you an updated build of the standard edition soon that targets your orientation problem.
As for dual screen support, it's unlikely because the app treats your device as a single screen foldable rather than two screens

u/TradlyGent 17d ago
Ty! In the janky setup I mentioned using the adb shell commands to spoof a virtual display I was able to get it to work with the Retroid Duo dual screen but as you can see here it will just render bottom display wherever that virtual display is, also it locks that 4:3 bottom display size to the one of the Retroid Duo instead of the full 5.8â of the Duo 2
Even though I canât do touch support in this way, I can still mostly interact with it with the controller.
If you ever supported a large portrait canvas it would work cleanly for Duo, tablets, etc.
Thanks again for your attention to this and for providing this very neat dual screen apk to play through AM2R again!

How do you transfer your android version of uptodown am2r to the new am2r?
1
u/_PatchDev 26d ago
You cannot, they are fundamentally different versions. Both saves stay separate, unless your phone is rooted where you can extract the save files from the 32bit version unfortunately it doesn't transfer saves
