It is possible to pause the current game in progress by tapping the paw icon. REGISTRATION: ============= Maryo Bros is shareware, the demonstration version does not allow the player to generate high score codes or advance past the third phase. To access these features, a device identification number is required to generate a unique unlocking registration datafile. You can get to the registration screen by selecting the 'Register' menu item in the 'Game' menu. It is very important to ensure that you copy down the device identification exactly as it is presented in this dialog as follows: 45:6D:75:6C:61:74:6F:72:39 <--- generated from the "Emulator" username It is very common that users copy down this information incorrectly and hence delay the registration process. An exact match is required for the restration process to succeed. REGISTRATION IS $7.50 and can be made at PalmGearHQ and are not refundable. Once your purchase is made, you will receive a serial number that you will then need to enter when you fill in survey at the following web address: http://www.ardiri.com/index.cfm?redir=palm&cat=maryobros&subcat=survey Payments support future developments and the developer.
