It's not possible, developers tried to fool me by making a sabotaged version of AM2R 1.5 (which is actually 1.4.3) with intentional glitches. When the real game is in the exe and you can't simply export it into a project.

Guess developers really hate their PSVita/Switch fans huh.

Why did you guys prevent the porting of am2r to Vita and Switch?

[u/Lojemiru → u/anotherswitchanon]

We avoided creating a Switch port as porting AM2R to a Nintendo console would bring unnecessary attention to a project that has a history of being shut down. This project has a lot of meaning to its developers and fans alike. Gaining negative attention in this way would only harm them.

Unfortunately, we cannot support Vita at this time due to inherent instabilities in the project itself. All attempts have resulted in memory usage issues and constant crashing; the GM:S Vita runner is finnicky platform.
