Tyrian

• Emulator: OpenTyrian
• Folder: roms/tyrian/
• Accepted ROM formats: .game

No OpenTyrian emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.

This is a standalone freeware game. No ROM is required — you can get the game asset files directly from the Batocera Content Downloader. The Content Downloader will place the game data in /userdata/roms/tyrian/data/. A .game launch file will also be created automatically.

If you prefer to install manually, place the Tyrian 2.1 data files in /userdata/roms/tyrian/data/ and create an empty .game file in /userdata/roms/tyrian/.

Save location roms/tyrian/data/

Standardized features available: tyrian.videomode, tyrian.padtokeyboard, tyrian.hud, tyrian.hud_corner

OpenTyrian has built-in gamepad support via SDL. The default controls follow a classic shmup layout and can be configured in the in-game setup menu.

• Make sure the data/ folder exists in /userdata/roms/tyrian/ and contains the Tyrian game data files.
• The easiest way to install is via the Batocera Content Downloader.
