This text is very short. CONTENTS -------- 1. Installing 2. Upgrading 3. Quick Start 4. Customise 5. Contact 6. Credits 7. Whats New 8. License 1. INSTALLING ------------- 1. Make sure at MENU -> PREFERENCES -> SHOW 'SYSTEM' FOLDER is ticked. 2. Go into "\system\apps\" and make a new folder called "psitris", can be drive C or D. 3. Copy all the supplied files into the "\system\apps\psitris" folder. The files are; clrLine wve file Optional gfx.mbm mbm file highscor wve file Optional psitris.aif aif file psitris.app app file readme.txt this file Optional title2.mbm mbm file Please copy all the files as the sound makes it more fun to play. If you want you can replace those files marked 'Optional' with your own ones. You can also include a title1.mbm file for the options screen to load. 4. You can now play the game by pressing the PsiTris icon at the Extras bar. 2. UPGRADING ------------ If an older version of PsiTris exist on your Psion then just copy the new files over the old ones. Because of the increased speed in game play sadly the high score table obtain from previous versions (before v1.11) will be deleted automatically. I hope this will be a small price to pay for a better game. 3. QUICK START -------------- READ FIRST >> It is recommended that you goto MENU -> CONTROL PANAL -> KEYBOARD and change "Delay before first repeat" to 200 ms and "Subsequent delay" to 40 ms At the options screen use the pen to select game type (Keys 'A' 'B' '0-9' and 'Enter' provides the same function) The follow keys are the default keys, you can always change them if you want; 'Z' Rotates tetrad clockwise 'X' Rotates tetrad anitclockwise 'Cursor Left' Move tetrad left 'Cursor right' Move tetrad right 'Cursor down' Move tetrad down 'P' Pause game 'Esc' Quit current game You can hit the 'Menu' key at the options screen or during gameplay for the preferences and help screen. 4. CUSTOMISE PSITRIS -------------------- PsiTris is highly customisable here are a few things you can change; Block Shapes: If you don't like the GameBoy Tetris blocks then when at the Options screen (screen with the map) goto MENU -> PREFERENCES -> BLOCK TYPE you will have the option to change block styles. Options Pic: I have not supplied a background picture for the options screen (screen with the map), but if you like you can name a mbm file "title1.mbm" and copy it into the PsiTris directory, PsiTris will load this file instead of the default map. Disk Shortage:If you are low in Disk space you can delete the sound files. 5.
