+== About ==
−This is a Wii adaptation of TYRIAN, the game edited by Eclipse and published by Epic MegaGames.The original game was programmed by Jason Emery, illustrated by Daniel Cook, and its music composed by Alexander Brandon and Andreas Molnar.
−This port is based on [http://code.google.com/p/opentyrian/ OpenTyrian] project code, maintained by mindless2112, syntaxglitch,emacs.hacker, yuriks.br.
−
−This README file was based on the README found on Nuvalo's old one.
−This port is separate from Nuvalo's port, and has now replaced it (as you can see). It is fully functional and much more stable than the Wii-Linux version.
−This is not the version featured in the Homebrew Showcase linked on the main page (unfortunately). But trust me, it is better, and easier to use.
−== Gameplay ==
−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.
−== Installation ==
−* Download the two packages on Google Code (you only need the tyrianFiles zip once. Those won't be updated)
−* Unzip them directly to the root of your SD card (will work on putting the cfg and sav files in the tyrian folder)
−* Run using HBC (you can run it with something else, but HBC is the standard now). [[Homebrew Channel#Installation|Installing Homebrew Channel]]

−Keep in mind that though Wiimote horizontal play is supported, it is not set up by default. The only thing that is enabled by default for horizontal is the Wiimote DPad.

−Because custom mapping is enabled now, all you need to know is that whatever button is assigned to "FIRE" in the joystick mapping is also the confirm button, and the "CHANGE FIRE" assignment is the cancel button. The rest should be pretty straightforward and/or intuitive.

In order to make a reassignment, in the Joystick menu, using the "RETURN"/"FIRE" button, select the function you wish to reassign, press the button that is assigned for that controller/expansion, then select the function again and press the button you wish to use. Defaults currently only set the Wiimote buttons by itself, and are really not set properly. However, it's possible to make button assignments with just the Wiimote, or in any combination of controllers and extensions.
