Pysconian Deluxe

PYSCONIAN Deluxe for POKITTO®

Pysconian is a mega addictive space shooter made for the Pokitto opensource game console (www.pokitto.com). The game is loosely based on the arcade classic Bosconian.

SCORING

INSTALLING AND PLAYING THE GAME

On Pokitto:

• copy MUSIC directory in ZIP file to your SD game disk 
  the end result should be SD/MUSIC/Pysc1.raw ...

• copy PYSCODX.POP to a directory on SD card
  (I recommend 2Arcade directory)

• use Kraken loader to load PYSCODX.POP

 On Windows:

• extract PyscoDX_Win_emu.zip

• run PyscoDX.exe
