If you have this enabled, the launcher will check for a new version on boot. If a new version comes out, the Community Updates (Latest) profile will be adjusted to point to the new version.

Use high quality music when patching to PC

The original 1.0 and 1.1 came with very compressed music. DoctorM64 has since released his music in higher quality under a Creative Commons license here which the Community Updates support.
If you have this option enabled, the launcher will use the high quality songs when installing a profile.
If you have this option disabled, the launcher will use the songs from the original 1.1 release when installing a profile.
This option does not have any effect for Mods with custom music.

Use high quality music when patching to Android

Exactly as use high quality music when patching to PC but for APK creation.

Create game debug logs

If this is enabled, it will launch a profile with special parameters so debug logs are created, which can be very helpful for troubleshooting. The game logs will be saved in a logs subfolder of the profile's save directory. See here for instructions on how to open it. If this is disabled, the game will launch as normal.

Download source

Choose if you want to download patch files from GitHub or GitLab. If your download speed is slow, or access to one site is blocked, consider changing it.

Use custom download mirror

If you want to use a custom download mirror for patch files, you're able to do so here. The mirror should follow the structure of our official autopatchers, and should have either a master or main branch.
NOTE: Do NOT use this, unless you know what you are doing!

Change AM2RLauncher data folder

By setting the AM2RLAUNCHERDATA environment variable to another path, you will force the AM2RLauncher to save its files to there instead.
You can change it on Windows with $env:AM2RLAUNCHERDATA="E:\myLauncherData" in PowerShell or on Linux with export AM2RLAUNCHERDATA=/myLauncherData.
Data files are different for each OS, you cannot mix them!
