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.

INSTALLATION
------------
This game requires homebrew-friendly firmware (1.0, 1.5, M33 X.XX, etc)
Copy contents of TYRIAN folder in to /PSP/GAME (PSP/GAME150) and run under 1.50 kernel.
Use Eloader to run on the slim (PSP2000) PSPs.
1.5 FW users must 'kexploit" EBOOT.PBP before executing.

Some users may experince a "black screen" bug on some psp HW/FW versions. 
This seems to be due to a memory allocation problem in SDL implementation for psp.
If you experience this problem, try using alternative EBOOT.PBP files, provided with 
this release.


KNOWN ISSUES
------------
- Network play is not yet implemented
- 2 player mode buttons are not mapped
- saves slots can't be assigned yet dut to missing OSK (last level autosave works)
- Intro screens are not drawn correctly

TODO
----
OSK implementation for text entry (saves/cheat codes/power modes)

Enjoy,
