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.
- 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.

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.

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:

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.
