I mounted the ISOs, installed the game with the key, and replaced the SPEED2.exe with the NOCD one. When I try to launch the game with the new speed2.exe the screen goes black for a bit and it doesn't load the game.
I'm on Windows 10, what can I do to run the game?

it worked when i used a different crack than the one provided. also had to run the UniWS as adminastrator to get it to work. Even then, sometimes the game crashed while playing, but it happened rarely so i guess it's tolerable, just save after every race.

Uhm so yeah i do not know why or how but the NOcD patch dose not work for me. I did intaled as the comentator BK2010 said, and the application just closes it's self in a second. Any help ?

If anyone is on low spec trying to run this and need more Frames per second, turn off High contrast and overbright settings, biggest fps killers, and to be honest the game looks better without them :)

Forget it, I have found da wae, follow BK2010 instructions, I didn't try playing without the patch, but probably it will run without it.
The thing is, instead of using the normal NoCd, use the one in this site:
https://originaldll.com/file/speed2.exe/35138.html
That'll do it, good luck in the canyons of your life.

Small guide to get the game working:
WORKS WITHOUT THE NEED TO USE THE 1.2 PACTH
you only need this patch if you plan have
a NVIDIA 6800 which the patch offers better performance
or if your going to host LAN games.
What you will need:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardware:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Min spec requirements: for mostly low settings @ 640x480 res with 30fps
CPU: Pentium III or Athlon XP
CPU SPEED: 933 mhz
RAM: 256 MB
OS: Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP
TOTAL VIDEO RAM: 32 MB
DIRECTX VERSION: 8.1
FREE DISK SPACE: 2 GB
Recommended requirements:
CPU: Pentium 4 or Athlon XP (Or any decent single core or multithreaded single core)
CPU SPEED: 2 Ghz
RAM: 512 MB
OS: Windows XP
TOTAL VIDEO RAM: 128 MB
DIRECTX VERSION: 8.1
FREE DISK SPACE: 3 GB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Software:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will need mounting software to mount the images
Windows (DAEMON Tools Lite) nofree or (WinCDEmu) free
Copy of the game.
NoCD patch (FOUND AT THE END OF THIS PAGE)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Mount images
2. Install game
3. When asked for key enter
eyyq-xenr-uy2L-cxzs-5dcc
4. Copy the speed2.exe you got from extractig the NoCD patch
to the same directory the game is installed, you will be
asked if you want to repace the speed2.exe currently present
there, yes you do :)
5. Download the Universal Widescreen (UniWS) Patcher
(Skip this step if you don't higher resolutions and widescreen)
https://www.wsgf.org/article/universal-widescreen-uniws-patcher
this will allow you set a custom widescreen resolution, as the game
without it only goes to 1024x768, but make the resolution in the game
set to 640x480, you can set the games custom higher resolution with
the UniWs patcher.
5. Launch, configure your graphics settings and enjoy the game
Notes:
If you want to put a copy of the game on another computer, simply copy the
entire Need for speed Underground 2 folder (after doing all the above) onto
a external USB, then you can simply copy to anywhere on the other computer
or you can simply run the game from the USB stick.
More notes: Game tested and works on Windows 7,also runs on Linux with wine
but I recommend doing all the above and then simply copy the installation folder
to USB, then in Linux (change directory) to the Game and simply run the speed2.exe with wine.
Some Linux crashes were observed, while this can happen, it does not happen all
the time and could be limited to only my setup.
Enjoy :)

@Misfit: You need to download the nocd patch on from this page and copy over the Speed2.exe to replace the one where you installed the game, then the game should launch.

So I got it to install, but everytime I try to launch the game, it says I need to insert the correct disk.
I tried launching it with both ISOs opened, and tried each open alone and it keeps saying it. What should I do here? It's most likely stupidly easy but I can't figure it out.
