There's a point, now I have a Voodoo card I could try them but I have no hope for any more progress due to the missing I/O board and the fact the custom OS probably won't look at the AGP controller, let alone use the newer card. It might not like the chipset either..
Regarding Hydro Thunder, my old AMD K6-2 managed to get an almost stock CHD running. The diagnostics run and I can change various settings, but the Missing I/o board causes problems, such as not being able to exit the diags without sing task manager since the board is convinced the DIP settings are set to test mode. The main game gets further but then ends with no errors, again I believe the I/O is to blame. Strange though that most of the diags can be run with a standard AT Keyboard.
Oh, speaking of the diags, I'm gonna recreate a new VHD to extract the game files to check it's not my doings but the diags report bad game files.
Another thing is, as I presumed would be the case, the game isn't limited to the stock Audio chip or LAN board, it just depends if you have the driver installed and Windows detects it since I could hear some BGM music on my Audigy EAX card after installing the drivers and my 3COM LAN card seems to get detected aswell.
