This game is a port of OpenTyrian, based on the DOS sourcecode of the game Tyrian for MSDOS. OpenTyrian is an open source project built around the SDL library. This port uses Tantric's SDL port as its base.
Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter. The player controls a space ship fitted with different weapons and enhanced energy shields. Money is earned by destroying enemies and grabbing bonuses, which is then used to purchase upgrades such as weapons, shields, energy generators, and different ships from interlevel menus. The game is fast paced and presents a variety of enemies and bosses.
TO INSTALL
==========
Copy the contents of archive to the root of your SD card. You don't have to copy this readme. Make sure that your apps folder contains OpenTyrianWii, and a tyrian folder resides on the root of your card.
CHANGELOG v1.1.1
================
-Wiimote horizontal mode now enabled!!!
-In order to make button reassignments (from defaults), select the Fire button and press the button you wish to use for Fire/Select (probably 1 or 2). From there, have fun (Controls on my Wiibrew page should be sufficient to help guide you through that).
-GC pad and Classic Controller DPads are now enabled as well, which means GameCube pad support is now 95% functional (still need to get the joysticks working).
-After this, I will probably hold my updates and group them up more. But this should allow for as much freedom in the gaming you wish to have.
-As a side note, SDL is misidentifying the Classic D-left as the Nunchuck C button (at the same time it's used as a DPad), and the version I used to build this version also misidentified Classic D-up as the Nunchuck Z button. Just be aware of this when playing with the CC (in other words, use the joystick for now). The next release will have these fixed.
-Also, the Wiimote's DPad only works if the classic controller is unplugged. I guess the CC's DPad supersedes the Wiimote's when it is plugged in.
