Instructions
  • Create a folder named SHVOTBA on your desktop
  • Copy the folder HULKDATA from the CD (or ISO) into the SHVOTBA folder on your desktop
  • Extract the archive attached to this post into SHVOTBA
  • Run HULKSET.EXE to adjust maximum resolution, difficulty and keyboard shortcuts
  • Run HULKW95.EXE to play the game

You now have a portable game of "Space Hulk - Vengeance of the Blood Angels". So you can move the SHVOTBA folder anywhere you like, eg into C:/games/. However avoid placing it in PROGRAM FILES because Windows protection won't allow the game to write data to it's own folder there.
The game may still occasionally crash, but it's very rare compared to what it used to be. Just remember to save your campaign progress. Do not to use Windows compatibility settings on HULKW95.exe.

Also attached is the English manual, which is useful reading if you're playing the game for the first time.

About this patch
The DDRAW wrapper used in this patch was written by aqrit and modified by Slayer_X64 for Diablo. The files DPLAY.DLL, HULKSET.EXE, HULKW95.EXE can all be found in your own HULKDATA folder. They're included here to keep this guide short and convenient.

Thanks! This has fixed several other annoyances, including the odd colours and the audio cutting-out.

Hi,

I am trying to get this game work on Win 10, unfortunately it won't run... Could it be necessary to do a little fix on the wrapper or should it still work like explained for Win7? It would be so great to play this one again - I hope you have some hint for me...

Thank you in advance!

Nope, no idea. Stopped working. Well that's a fucking shame.

EDIT: I think the best bet on Windows 10 is to use a virtual machine.
An VMWare image of Windows 95 can be downloaded here: https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-95

Would have been neat, IF IT ACTUALLY WORKED.

It needs to be on max resolution, or else it doesn't do anything.

I understand it can be frustrating to get an old game to work.
But it does work on Windows 7, as the thread title says. And the instructions also say to adjust for maximum resolution.

Alright, got it to work, though the crashing after so many minutes of playtime is getting a bit old. Like, every single time I play, it happens. Hard to enjoy when it keeps crashing mid-game. :/

Hi All

I had to register and post after I spent the last couple hours trying to get this game work:

Eventually what I did was install an Windows XP Virtual machine on my windows 10 pc. I then ran copied/loaded the game into the virtual machine (i had it loaded as a virtual CD drive). Did the steps outlined above to apply the patch. Works great! Not crashed yet (15mins of play).

Obviously the hassle is installing a Virtual machine!

Note you still need the patch on the virtual machine..

So thanks for the patch!
