I resolved the disc 2 issue, but now its just black screen and back to windows. Any ideas?
DISC 2 ISSUE HOW TO RESOLVE
Is there a way to set the game up in 1920×1080, but with the original 4:3 aspect ratio? I’d prefer not to have it stretched.
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
You need the widescreen fix, not sure if we’re allowed to post links here, but you can just google “NFS Underground 2 Widescreen Fix”and it’ll come up
black screen for me and then goes back to windows, nothing happens. tried the foobar trick just in case, still nothing.
it installed successfully but the game won`t run or open

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxkTVi6xm9w
it is not working it asking to insert disk 2
Asking for disc 2? Help pls anyone?
for everyone wondering how you get the game running, you need to go to game directory (the place you installed the game) for me it was C:\Program Files (x86)\NFS Underground 2. once here create a txt file on your desktop named foobar left click on the file go into properties delete the .txt part in the name of file. save the file yes to prompts then drag the new file into your game directory. yes to the prompts
Reposting this from Anonymous Aardvark since no one seems to be able to scroll through comments…
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.
there is no such folder
I just played NFSU2 a couple days ago and now its asking for Disk 2. Really sucks…
Please insert disc 2. Cannot play
