Hacking Hydro Thunder..err Offroad Thunder (Updated)

Interesting. Maybe someone that speaks obscure OS can decipher what it is wanting. It's been too long... I can barely get a sound blaster card working at this point.

EDIT: This is probably wrong, it's more likely the ETS kernel from Phar Lap who made the TNT extender
If this is the correct thing, it sounds like something that could be used on an arcade setup.
However it does not sound like something you could get running inside windows short of emulating the hardware then installing it as the OS.
Shame I've tossed all my ancient pentium PCs or I might try recovering the MAME drive image to a hard drive and giving it a go.
EDIT: I understand that I'm just a dumb end user googling crap, but I find it interesting.
TNT was a "DOS extender" that allows core windows NT functions (drivers) to work on MS-DOS.
It seems some people are still messing around with this stuff on embedded chip projects.
Again, this could just be something else with the same name, but it sounds like something that would be useful in an arcade game at that time period.
DOUBLE EDIT: It seems there were some dos games for home use that used TNT and they can work in dosbox.
Downloading Phar Lap's ETS Kernel User's Guide because I am a glutton for wasting time on things that are above my level.

Based on the DOS message it sounds like you'd launch the ETS "OS" from within DOS, similar to how Windows used to work back in win 3.1 days.

Sent you a pm.
By the way (and completely off topic), if any of you are playing this game with a wheel and pedals, how in the world do you do a hydro jump????? I can't figure it out and I'm leaving too many turbo boosts left on the playing field!

Don't you just slam the brake and hit the turbo button?
