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 v1.1.2
================
-All DPads now support bidirectional movement. This makes the GC pad much more viable as a controller to use in OpenTyrianWii.
-Fix confirmed for the CC DPad bug. It now only functions as a DPad.
-Unconfirmed fix for HBC 1.0.2 and up (I tested it on my Wii with 1.0.3 and it worked).
-Because of a bug in the joystick saving function, I have temporarily disabled it. -Details in Controls.
-As a note, turning the volume down on the sfx seems to diminish the popping in the audio, but only slightly. Still looking into a proper resampling.
-Also, don't change the scaler to anything but scale2x. 2x is now a testing ground for the 640x480 upscale, and is unstable.
