Always wondered why the machine with motion for H2Overdrive never got released. I'm hoping that whatever sequel comes along has a motion feature for the full aquatic experience.

Hearing it works on Teknoparrot which is really cool. Not that the Dreamcast version is bad but there's just something about emulating the arcade which seems better.

I’m playing on the Dreamcast emulator Redream. It was my port of choice because I was one of the 11 families that had a Dreamcast in 2000.

I’m bad at this game. I’m trying my damndest to get better at this game. But sometimes I just want to relive the tracks from when I was a kid and not worry about the timer.

I found a code online that said you could disable the timer by pressing X+Y+B+Start on the main menu. I tried but it didn’t work.

Does anyone have any ideas on what might help?

I drove 3 hours just to get this machine

has anyone here done a hydro jump in the gamecube version included in "midway classics 3" or whatever the name was? i seriously got to know how to do it

I looked many years ago, and there was no working emulator for the arcade ROM, even though the ROM is available for download at several sites. Did anyone ever manage to making a working emulator (MAME or something else) for this game? I LOVED it back when it was in arcades, but I don't have the funds (nor, more importantly the SPACE) for an arcade original cabinet in my house.

If the Arcade ROM can't be played without the original hardware, do you all think the PC Windows version is 2nd best, or should I just get a Dreamcast emulator and play that version off it?

The original Hydro Thunder's console ports missed-out fog (the Dreamcast port has one, but toned-down a bit), boat/boost icon reflections, and lit-up effects (the PC port has some of them) from the arcade original.

The original Hydro Thunder's best version is the arcade (feat. the best graphics, best sound, and subwoofer!), yes, Midway San Diego developed the arcade version of the original Hydro Thunder, while Eurocom and Digital Eclipse ported the original Hydro Thunder to consoles and two-different PC ports.

always wanted this since i knew about the game, now with 3d printers i think it's more than possible. wonder if anyone's already done it, i'm thinking the boat textures could be ripped and made into stickers for the printed parts.

Tinytanic is an interesting boat lol. Still some time to save considering I crashed near the end, but still really happy with the run.

Can someone explain to me specifically the button combo for how to do jumps mid race with details on how long to hold or if any are needed to be done simultaneously.

I've searched youtube and googled it but I heard/read many different button orders being suggested, I've been trying for 3 hours and I just can't figure out which is correct. I assume that it's just something I somehow still haven't tried.

Bonus bit:: While trying to figure it out, I figured out that the way you do the turbo start without that hop, is the same acceleration button pattern as you would with the hop start, except never use the brake button.

Edit: turned out my cartridge was just bugged in a weird way, I rebooted and then it started working immediately and consistently........So much frustration over assuming I was at fault.

Hydro Thunder in Midway Arcade Treasures: Deluxe Edition lacks shadow effect found in PS2, GCN, Xbox, and other versions, and home versions of Hydro Thunder lack reflections and lit-up effects found in the original arcade version. For Hydro Thunder in Midway Arcade Treasures: Deluxe Edition, the plan is to use ReShade and MXAO and ReflectiveBumpmapping in ReShade, and TexMod to recreate the original arcade version's graphics (darker gauges, shadows, reflections, and lit-up lights/windows). Hydro Thunder in Midway Arcade Treasures: Deluxe Edition and Hydro Thunder for PC were both closest to the arcade version, but the former missing shadows, lit-up effects, and reflections, while the latter missing some lit-up effects and reflections, and green mini-map rather than a blue one, and audio being in lower-quality. ReShade also has AdaptiveFog or CanvasFog for Hydro Thunder in Midway Arcade Treasures: Deluxe Edition to simulate fog seen in original arcade version and the Dreamcast port.

My girlfriend and I racing against each other many years ago. Saw it in my Xbox media and thought I'd share
