After much thought and testing I have found a work around for this game asking to reference a symbol table at start up. First an explanation. I noticed that the game is allowing 4 executions to occur before requiring input from the symbol table which can only be found on the paper game manual. So, it occurred to me that the game had to be keeping a count of the number of executions. This meant storing the count in a file. I figured that if I could determine what file the count was being used, I could prevent the game from altering that file and therefore prevent it from knowing what the count is. I determined the file is called "hiscores.flg" and it is located in the "other" directory of the main game directory. The game alters this file and changes it's attributes to "hidden, read only".
The work around. Unzip the game to a directory called " psycpin". Create a directory under "psycpin" called "temp" . Do not run the game yet! Copy "hiscores.flg" from "other" to " temp". Create the following batch file.

Start.bat
@echo off
attrib -r -h m:\psycpin\other\hiscores.flg
copy /Z m:\psycpin\temp\hiscores.flg m:\psycpin\other
Psycho.bat

Edit this batch file for the correct drive letter. Placé it in the "psycpin" directory. Use "start.bat" to start the game.

This game must be in a subdirectory in order to work. (otherwise: tons of "illegal reads")
If you try to create a shortcut like this:
"\DOSBox.exe" "\psycho.bat"
It will not work.
You have to create a unique configuration file for this game.
And create the shortcut like this:
"\DOSBox.exe" -conf "\example.conf"
And "example.conf" should have at the end [autoexec] the mount options, for example:
mount c d:\downloads\
c:
cd psycho-pinball_dos_en
psycho.bat

When i start the game, a message shows:
'Use cursor keys to highlight on reverse of manual at location:
column x, row y'

Where can we find the correct codes, or bypass this ?

First unzipped game and change the name of the unzipped file to pp.

Put this in a folder named games.

And then put this file in root c:

Then I used DosBox.

Commands for DosBox are:

mount c c:\games\

c:

cd pp

psycho

And it's done ^.^
