FAQ
- Where are my screenshots? I can't find them anymore!
Look in your AppData/Local folder, it's usually in this location:
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\AM2R_Demo
- Why are my screenshots so big?
The screenshots are now taken with the size of the displayed window.
If you want the classic 320x240 screenshots, set the display to Windowed 1x
before pressing F12.
- What happened to the reverb effect? It was so awesome!
That feature had to be removed. It's not supported by Game Maker anymore.
- Can I use my old saves?
No. The save format changed drastically. If you try to copy your old saves,
the game might crash.
- I have an Arcade cabinet, can I exit AM2R with just 1 key?
Sure! After running the game once, go to this folder:
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\AM2R_Demo
And edit config.ini, setting the following values:
EnableExitButton=1 (should be 0 by default)
KeyboardButtonExit, JoystickButtonExit and XBJoypadButtonExit can be used to
customize which button / key is used to exit. Default is ESC for keyboard,
Back for XInput, and button 10 for DirectInput.
