AM2RLauncher VS AM2R-Autopatcher-Mac

You'll need a copy of the unaltered last official release ver. 1.1 (Google=Friend), and the AM2R Launcher. The Launcher will automagically update the official release with all community updates.

There's endless freeware PC games I recommend for people with low spec builds especially like Iji, Cave Story (fuck Nicalis, and download the NXEngine-evo version), and a million and one RPGMaker games like Yume Nikki. There's also really great fangames like Jojo 7th Stand User, Pokémon Infinite Fusion, AM2R, Power Bomberman, and don't get me started on Sonic fangames but a recent one that's fantastic and unique is Sonic and the Fallen Star.

If the error has "libgit" anywhere: known issue that was recently fixed in dev builds. https://github.com/AM2R-Community-Developers/AM2RLauncher/issues/40

For AM2R there's a bit of a trick.

https://github.com/AM2R-Community-Developers/AM2RLauncher/releases/tag/2.3.0 you should be running am2r thru the launcher and update it to ver 1.5.5, only complication is I think you might need a zip of 1.1 to “reinstall” the game.

We *do* have Mac am2rlauncher builds, but they're not ready yet and need a lot of testing / further improvements. If you'd like to help with that, feel free to join on discord/matrix/xmpp and ask on any channel. The tldr; last time i checked is tho, that you need xdelta3 installed via homebrew, download the am2rlauncher release from the actions (https://github.com/AM2R-Community-Developers/AM2RLauncher/actions/workflows/build-and-publish.yml , you need to be logged into github in order to see them) and then run them the launcher from a terminal with "open /path/to/am2rlauncher.app" iirc.

I am currently in the progress of getting a Mac build of the AM2RLauncher released too, but it currently still needs a bunch of things fixed. WIP builds can be downloaded (you need to be logged into GitHub) here: https://github.com/AM2R-Community-Developers/AM2RLauncher/actions/runs/4047592654

There is an unofficial port to MacOS. AFAIK the launcher only works if you compile from source, but this should work without much hassle: https://github.com/Miepee/AM2R-Autopatcher-Mac

Mac is kind of in a weird state right now. The easiest way right now is to use the CLI autopatcher to apply mods: https://github.com/Miepee/AM2R-Autopatcher-Mac The readme there has instructions on how to use mods (just throw them into the mods folder)

If you have a Mac you can use the unofficial autopatcher to install the mod and generate an apk

Yes, I created it, see here: https://github.com/Miepee/AM2R-Autopatcher-Mac

AM2R! It's one of the most replayable games I've ever replayed! There's an unofficial Mac version, it runs great, and it's an incredibly fun game!

Might I recommend AM2R? A few months back an unofficial macOS patcher was created that creates a fully native Mac version (no wine or virtualization or anything) It literally is Metroid so thats about as close as you can get https://github.com/Miepee/AM2R-Autopatcher-Mac

P.S. I should probably also mention the games I have running not on emulator. Minecraft works flawlessly (I believe a native M1 version was released recently). My Steam library isn't very large, but I've got Dead Cells and Terraria working great with native Mac versions, and I can run Risk of Rain 2 (with some pretty major graphical issues) through Parallels. As I said earlier, the original version of Halo CE actually works great through Parallels. And finally, if you're into 2D Metroid, (even if you're not, I recommend giving it a try) AM2R works perfectly through the macOS Patcher.

Miepee has made a Community Updates Patcher. Instructions for downloading/installing can be found at the page here: https://github.com/Miepee/AM2R-Autopatcher-Mac

Here's a (non-fully supported) Mac build tool made by one of our team members. It should get you what you're looking for: https://github.com/Miepee/AM2R-Autopatcher-Mac
