AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) updated to 1.4.1, now supports Android

New additions to the game include a new difficulty level called "Fusion", new enemy types and new log files amongst many other fixes. The game runs on both Windows and Android but be aware the recommended minimum specs for running on Android are a 1.2Ghz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and a dedicated GPU.
Changelog:
- Android support.
- Minimum hardware requirements:
- Quad-core 1.2Ghz CPU
- Dedicated GPU
- 2GB RAM
- NOTE: These specs will provide full-speed gameplay almost everywhere, with some slowdowns in non-critial areas with a large amount of objects, such as the main caverns of A2, A3, and A5.
Weaker GPUs may slow down in Fusion mode during X morphing.

- Palettes and related sprites for Samus and the Metroids are now stored in their respective folders under the mods/palettes folder.

- The song should be called "musTester.ogg" and placed in the main game directory with the rest of the music.
- Suit change animations will now play in Random games when the item is not in a tunnel or in the air.
