New: keep playing on this launcher if you want to
This project has closed, and its features are going into the official sms-pc-port and SMS Launcher by chasem-dev, who made the port. We recommend moving to SMS Launcher. Some of you asked to keep using this launcher a while longer, so this update lets you.
What's new in 2.1.0
- The "We've moved to SMS Launcher" screen has a new button, Play on this launcher anyway. It opens this launcher as you know it: your settings, HD textures, HD cutscenes, online co-op and everything else. Press Play as before.
- It asks each time you start the game, and the launcher shows a Please move to SMS Launcher note. Move to SMS Launcher (also on the About page) takes you to the switch; Not now hides the note until next time.
- This launcher gets no new features from here on. New work goes into SMS Launcher.
Moving to SMS Launcher
Get SMS Launcher works as in 2.0.0:
- Backs up your memory card to a dated
SMS PC Port save backupfolder in your home folder. - Moves your saves to where SMS Launcher looks for them, if you kept them somewhere else (
save_dir). If you never changed it, they are already there. A memory card SMS Launcher already has is never overwritten. - Downloads the latest SMS Launcher from its GitHub releases, to your Downloads folder.
- Starts it: the installer on Windows, or the AppImage on Linux.
Nothing is deleted: your disc image, mods and old saves stay where they are.
Getting this version
