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.

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!
