bigster:
Wait are you making a wrapper for the arcade PC dump or just giving up on everything?

Well people keep telling me there is a fully working version out there.  I don't have it, but I certainly don't want to hack the game when I don't need to.

For fun I learned how to unpack the mame chd to take a look.
I've found nothing yet, but then again I have no idea what I am doing.
Tried to launch the exe under various compatibility settings back to 95, but all I get is "Hydro is not a valid win32 application"
(after using 7zip to explore the archive and dragging/dropping everything that's in the folder with the exe)

All I did was throw chdman from the latest mame build (.170) and the hydro chd into a folder along with this batch file.

--- Code: ---chdman extracthd -i hydro.chd -o hydro.img
pause

--- End code ---
The pause is just so I can see what the options are if it's not working.

I will track down the PC version and give it a try.

Howard_Casto:
If it's from 95 it might run in DOS.  Maybe give dosbox a try?

When I looked at it with a hex editor earlier, I noticed it mentioned this TNT Kernel stuff at the beginning.
