For CD32+FDD users:
Download oids.lzx from Meynaf's webpage. Create a blank diskette in advance.
Extract oids.lzx (using "LZX_68020r". "LZX.Keyfile" must be in "L" folder assigned.) .
Create a new folder named "galaxies". Copy all files which have ".oids" extensions to "galaxies" folder.
Then copy "galaxies" folder (.oids files inside) and other files to your diskette.
In addition, create "Libs" and "S" folder in that disk.
Then download this pack, then extract and copy files to that disk.
( "lowlevel.library" must be in "Libs" folder. "startup-sequence" must be in "s" folder. )
Thus you can thrust by Blue button.
Note 1: NTSC console users would suffer pain. In NTSC mode, the gaming speed becomes too sluggish.
In PAL mode (on your NTSC CD32), it might take much more time to close the title screen shown above.
Note 2: If you use this oids.cfg to make Blue button available to thrust, don't redefine keys at the menu screen.

The author originally created this game inspired by "XPilot" (External link).
So he was going to code for "2P combat style". However, the development was discontinued.
