First Hydra boot-up with 128Kb Chip, nothing loads when a breakout-like game is

Domokun

I recently hooked up a Hydra game developer I got for Christmas. The Parallaxaroids game loaded fine. (Meteors couldn't hit me and I couldn't shoot them, which I thought was strange. If that has anything to do with this, please tell). The next step in the book was to load the 128Kb card. I put it in while the game was running like the book said, but when I pressed reset, nothing loaded. The card was supposed to load a breakout-like game, but it just gave me a blank screen. The lights on the card were on, as well as the ones by the port. The power lights were both on. Nothing happened when I had plugged it in, like the book said it was supposed to. I don't know if this is a problem with my Hydra or a problem with the programming. Either way, any help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

I think there were a few HYDRAS shipped with a blank EEPROM card. Maybe you got one of those. Try following the instructions in the book to download one of the programs on the CD to the EEPROM card or the EEPROM chip on the HYDRA board itself.
