Summary:
Super Mario 68K (SM68K) is a Mario game for the TI 68K calculators. SM68K is open source 
and distribuated under the GNU Licence. 
A level editor and a new levelset for the game is now available at my webpage and at ticalc.org.




Features:
-Grayscale graphics
-Animated Levels
-Scrolling background
-8 world maps and a LOT of levels!
-Powerups like mushroms, fire flower, star, 1 UP and racoon suit!
-A lot of secrets hidden throughout the worlds ;-)
-Warp zone
-Mushrom houses
-Two different minigames. Go there and win a prize!
-Save game (3 slots) with automatic archiveing.
-Level editor
-Additional levelsets
-Configureable keys



Requirements:

	Calc version			: All 68K calcs (TI89,TI89 Titanium, TI92+ ,Voyage 200 )
	Hardware version		: All
	AMS				: 2.00 or above
	Ram free			: 100400 Bytes (~98 KB)
	Free Flash memory(archive)	: 150902 Bytes (~147.5 KB)	

	Total size of the game:


How to install:
	Send the files:
		-mariodat.ppg
		-runmario.asm
		-mario.prgm
		-ma_sprts.gfx
		-ma_tiles.gfx
		-ma_bckgr.mbg
		-ma_texts.mtxt

		-sm68k.mlst
		-world1.mlev
		-world2.mlev
		-world3.mlev
		-world4.mlev
		-world5.mlev
		-world6.mlev
		-world7.mlev
		-world8.mlev
		-common.mlev

To your calculator.

The files should automaticly appear in a folder called "mario"

Now you should ARCHIVE all the files, because the game needs pretty much ram to run.

Then type mario/mario() in the home-screen to launch the game.

******WARNING********
It is not recomended to use other launchers than the one that is included, as strange bugs have been reported 
when doing so!
******************

If any error occurs while launching the game, a text message will show. See troubleshooting in the manual.

If there is an error caused by too little free memory (ram) the error message will tell about it.
If so, you need to free some memory. This can be done either by deleting or archiveing some of the 
other stuff you have on your calc.


If this readme doesn't answer your question, see the included html document or cantact the author.
