How to play on Windows (NFS_Underground_2_v102_Win_Setup_EN.rar
I tried to use the resolution and FOV tools, but couldn’t make it work. Ended up with a black screen. The game was running, music was playing and I could hear menu sounds. But the screen was black.
It happened when I tried to change the resolution to 640×480 in-game.
It’s wonderful you guys are making these kinds of games available for us retro fans, but I’d only consider making a new install if there’s a way to play with the original 4:3 aspect ratio.
Thanks for your help
Easiest trick I’ve found is the text file trick. 1.Navigate to your NFSU2 install folder. 2.Make sure you have option on to show file extensions in windows (Google it if you don’t know). 3. Right Click, Select New > Text File 4. Rename the text file FOOBAR making sure to delete the .txt file extension 5. Window will give you a prompt saying that you’re changing the file extension type (if you don’t get this, you did it wrong), just hit ok. 6. Should be able to launch the game.
thanks bro

Create a file in your NFSU2 folder called “foobar” with no extension and the CD check will be skipped. No need to download anything extra.
