Hacking Hydro Thunder..err Offroad Thunder (Updated)
Hydreigon:
Quite a nice looking game but I can't say much about budget games like this. I have an interesting Hydro Thunder related question.
I wonder if anyone has gotten the arcade version of Hydro, Offroad and Arctic Thunder to load on pc? The following applies to all these games.
* PC based hardware (obviously).
* All of them use an additional board for controls. Their purpose differs depending on the game.
* Hydro Thunder uses a Deigo board for security between the video card and hard drive. There has been ways to bypass the security (this is needed to replace a failing hard drive or video card). I don't know if this security if just for Hydro Thunder?
* Off Road and Arctic Thunder use a Magicbus board though there isn't as much security involved compared to Hydro Thuner
* Hydro and Offroad Thunder require the additional board to convert the display output from VGA to EGA.
* There do exist "virgin" drives for replacing a dead hard drive on these games but I don't know much on that.
I'm thinking vmware with security implementation/bypass is the only way to run these games but I could be wrong.

I am curious why we aren’t looking at running the arcade version. If I remember correctly, it is a x86 CPU running on an embedded version of Windows. Since it hasn’t been done, I’m sure things are more complicated than they seem.

Assuming you mean the Eurocom port, pressing F keys may get you to somewhere you can define controls. Not sure if it supports wheels or not, as not tried myself.
