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.

This is a GameCube 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.

Release notes:

mupen64gc_alpha_r46 – Compiled code from SVN Code version 46. “DVD Loading Build”

http://code.google.com/p/mupen64gc/

Port of the popular multi-OS N64 emulator, Mupen64, to the Nintendo Gamecube through the libOGC library. The emulator is planned to use dynamic recompilation of the N64 machine code to PowerPC (the Gamecube’s ISA) and full hardware accelerated graphics to (hopefully) achieve full-speed emulation.

Visual Boy Advance is a GameBoy Mono, Color and GameBoy Advance emulator for the Nintendo Wii/GameCube. This “demo” version was originally included in SoftDev’s implementation of a the TinyFAT filesystem for SD card read/write functions on the Nintendo GameCube. The demo also shows how to implement virtual memory in your applications, which in this instance is used to store the ROM data in.

The demo only came in sourcecode format. Well, TehSkeen is proud to present it in it’s fully compiled and operational form. Please read the documentation included in the archive for detailed directions on how to use this emulator. Please note it does require the use of a GC -> SD card adapter.
