Nfs Underground 2 Split Screen Pc Patch

About This File

Includes all versions of the patches available.

Universal Widescreen Patcher - A Modding Tool for Need for Speed: Underground 2. Universal Widescreen Patcher. This is a tool that can change the game resolution, mainly made for games that aren't made to run with Widescreen resolutions (16:4), only 4:3. This tool can help you do that, however it works only on several games, but enough.

  1. When I want to play in split screen mode, the first player can chose any car he wants. But when it's up to player 2 to chose a car, he can only chose the cars from the garage (non-tuned cars). So my question; how can player 2 chose from the same cars as player 1. User Info: yasmine211.
  2. Nfs Underground 2 Split Screen Pc Patch. Is there a 2 player splitscreen mode for NFS underground 2 on the PC? A Need for Speed: Underground 2 (NFS:U2) Modding Tool in the Other/Misc category, submitted by BossN00b. Magix Music Maker 18 Soundpools Download on this page. We've been begging EA for a HD remake of the excellent NFS Underground.

Essential Improvement[edit]

Need For Speed II - Second Edition Patch[edit]

Adds support for external 3rash API renderers (DirectX, Glide and OpenGL), implements proper widescreen support with correct FOV and higher texture detail for cars, etc.

NFSIISE[edit]

NFSIISE is a cross platform wrapper which utilizes SDL 2 and OpenGL 1/2/ES2 to run the game in Windows, Linux and Android. Bringing 3D acceleration and TCP protocol support, along with force feedback for controllers. For the non 3D acceleration version, NFSIISEN can be used instead.
Requires Need for Speed II: Special Edition

Issues fixed[edit]

Game wrapper for modern Windows/Linux/MacOS operating systems[edit]

Modern NFSIISE wrapper[1]
  • Cross-platform wrapper for the Need For Speed II SE game with 3D acceleration and TCP protocol
  • Binary releases for Windows/Linux/MacOS, support for non-x86 CPUs, and build target for Android
  • Links: README, Releases.

Installing original game on 64-bit versions of Windows[edit]

Fan-made installer[citation needed]
  • Fan-made installer can be downloaded from nfsplanet.de. It comes with required compatibility tweaks and nGlide wrapper.

Notes

Start Glide.exe shuts down explorer.exe for the time of running the game.
Manual installation of Need For Speed 2 SE[2]
  • Create a new folder named NFS2SE, somewhere on your hard disk.
  • From game's CD copy folders FEDATA and GAMEDATA to NFS2SE on your hard disk
  • From a root folder on CD copy files:

to NFS2SE folder on your hard disk.

  • Change the extension of INSTALL.NFS to WIN (INSTALL.WIN).

Fixing Glide compatibility on modern Windows systems[edit]

Underground
Fixing compatibility issues[citation needed]

To fix most of compatibility issues you're going to need a 3dfx wrapper (recommended nGlide) and a small system compatibility patch.

  • Download nGlide and install it (default settings should work fine).
  • Download compatibility patch, extract it and run PatchInstall.bat.
  • To run a game use NFS2SEA.EXE - this exe file uses 3dfx. NFS2SEN.EXE is for software renderer only.
Fixing sound issues[2]
  1. Download and install Creative ALchemy Universal
  2. Run the program and create a new profile for the game.

If ALchemy is unable to run properly on your pc, then try the alternative method fix by copying the dsound.dll from a Windows XP installation.

  1. Take dsound.dll from a Windows XP installation or download the dll version 5.3.3790.3959 of dsound from dllDownloader
  2. Copy it and put it in the installation folder just where nfs2sea.exe is.
  3. Run nfs2sea.exe and enjoy.

Running in software rendered mode on modern systems[edit]

Despite being able to run in 3dfx mode, the software mode of NFSIISE (NFS2SEN.EXE) is unique for being the only way to play with dashboard view camera and it is the version that preserves the original style of the game.

Fixing compatibility issues

To fix most of the compatibility issues, these fixes need to be installed using the Compatibility Administrator from the Microsoft Application Compatibility:

  • ForceDirectDrawEmulation
  • CorrectFilePaths
  • EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace
  • GlobalMemoryStatusLie
  • SingleProcAffinity

It can be used for both NFSIISE software mode (NFS2SEN.EXE) and NFSII (NFSW.EXE). To solve problems with audio that may appear, follow the 'Fixing sound issues' guide.
