UPDATE: Didn't realize you had to hit the button to the right of Keyboard Configuration to switch to Joypad. BUT, now the game crashes everytime i try to bind something to the triggers.
Icky Thump 2023-01-12 0 point
Got the game patched, cracked, and running good. But i'm having controller issues. Navigating the menus with it works fine, but I cannot change keybinds with it at all; the game doesn't recognize input from it when i press a button. Using a wireless Xbox One S controller. Help?

Could someone please post a code for an European version (that available in English, Dutch, Swedish & Danish)?

Would love to see Need for Speed Carbon as it's been abandonware for years with it not being sold for any platforms whatsoever

Hi! I had the same problem with the "insert cd 2" after put the modgraphic 1.3. I can open the game with this fix.
https://gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_nfs_underground_2.shtml#NFS:%20Underground%202%20v1.0-v1.2%20[FRENCH]%20No-CD/Fixed%20EXE
i hope it helps you!

For people who cant surpass the insert disc 2 part. Try dowloading game by right clicking after click the connect part where there is a disc symbol and then using the setup.exe. Your computer will act like you actually inserted a disk and there will be a prompt that says what to do with this disc. Click to the prompt then click setup.exe. Enter the key that was given from somebody else below the comments. Click install and after of course there will be insert disc 2 prompt. Finally right click disc2.iso, click the "connect" part with the disc symbol. Now you can proceed the part where you enjoy nfsu2. Again.

Amazing work guys TY. Also:
NFSU2 how to use unique/contest/art factory vinyls with other vinyls
Intro, TLDR
So back in the PS2 glory days while I was a teenager, I had this game and spent hundreds of hours playing this. In my time playing I discovered the best cosmetic glitch in the game. I never uploaded this or shared because I never had the internet at home. I feel bad having never shared this with the world apart from my friends, though I do wonder if anyone else stumbled across this, I don't see why not... it was a glitch that I merely stumbled across by accident after all... That being said, I never did meet anyone else who had...
Step 1:
Select regular/body(anything except vinyls that would normally replace all slots i.e. unique/contest/art factory) vinyls for any of the 4 slots available for vinyls and set them up exactly as you want them.
Step 2:
Purchase/install the vinyls you have.
Step 3:
Go back into the vinyls and select the layer that you want the unique/contest/art factory to be on. Select "change" not remove and choose the one you want to install. Now immediately select the same slot and choose change. This will glitch the game and load all other vinyls + the full custom vinyl. now back out, purchase setup and save.
This works on any car, any layer, any combination. I spent hours customizing cars given the customization options this opened up for the game, now you can see why... I know this game is but a fond memory for most, and newer games have far better customization for vinyls etc. but, I loved these custom vinyl jobs they had in NFSU2 and what I made with them, for anyone going back with those rose tinted glasses and this glitch that may be new to you, I hope you enjoy it as much as I just have replaying it one more time 8) Probably not the last :p

geekmin 2022-03-16 2 points
I've installed the game and applied the NoCD patch. I proceed to click the new exe. It says "please insert disc 2."
HUH? Do I need V1.2 patch?

Sonny 2022-03-10 1 point
Hey guys has anyone got any tips on how to get this game to work with a controller, i have followed the updated install guide and installed the widescreen patch etc, the game runs great but doesnt detect my controller at all, not in the menus or in options where you change the keybinds, ive tried with an xbox elite series 2 and a ps4 controller, they work fine with other games. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

The Older need for speed games are probably the ones WITHOUT THE PAY TO WIN STUFF AND THEYRE BETTER.
NepTune 2021-07-16 1 point
Thanks for sharing this! I followed "UPDATED INSTALL GUIDE"s and "BK2010"s guide step by step and it works great!
PS.: I assume there is no way i can get the game's audio / video (not just switching the text!) in other languages?
Hammerman 2021-06-24 11 points
Please upload NFS Carbon here too, it was removed from Steam, so we cannot obtain it legally anymore.

@ blackbillymayes
Also if you do not want to overwrite the orignal speed2.exe with the noCD patch then make a copy of the orignal and place it somewhere else before pasting the noCD patch into the game installation.
BK2010 2021-05-20 0 point
@ blackbillymayes
Most simple way to do it (if you have the game installed and a shortcut exists on the desktop) right the shortcut and click open file location, this will bring you directly to were the game was installed, now open a new window for Windows explorer (leaving the current window open where the game is installed) navigate to the cracked no cd patch and copy it, go back to the window were the game installation is and paste the patch by overwriting the existing speed2.exe.

@Naufal Dzol
You will need mounting software to mount the images
Windows (DAEMON Tools Lite) nofree or (WinCDEmu) free.
Both can be found on the Internet, Daemon tools is not free (might be a trail version)
WinCDemu is free, although that software is quite old now so not too sure you can still get it. However I think Windows 10 has built in mounting software despite it's other downfalls.
jayknight 2021-05-03 3 points
honestly im confused AF anyone have a full guide of how i can install this game i keep getting stuck after the intial install when it ask me to enter disk 2
Naufal Dzol 2021-04-27 0 point
@BK2010 may I ask something? So about the NoCD patch, first how do I mount the image before installing the game?
blackbillymayes 2021-04-17 0 point
can someone give me a guide on how to replace the NoCD SPEED2 with the speed2 on disk 2? i am stuck at this part, and dont want to delete this
ReyOrton24 2021-04-10 1 point
It would be amazing if you include the European version. But at least we can download this game in a place of trust.
loubke 2021-04-06 1 point
Hey, so I don't know if anyone else has this problem or maybe I did something wrong. But everytime I try to drop the .dll file it says it there is not enough space on the disk.
Same when I copy the speed2.exe from nocd. It just says that there is no space left instead of replacing it. Some steps I forgot or am I gonna have to start a prayer?
Milim 2021-03-20 1 point
Played through almost the entire game, but now I get a CTD every time i try to load the actual game world. Reinstalling the exe used to fix it but now im no longer able to play. Anyone have a fix for this?
Stozza 2021-03-18 1 point
Mine has installed perfectly, running sweet as a nut however I cant get my controller to switch for racing, works perfectly in menus. Just doesn't change the keys for racing (I have changed and tested after to check but still no joy) Any ideas?
0x1 2021-03-13 0 point
@CONFUSED
Sounds like your trying to copy the Speed2.exe file to the mounted image and not were you installed the game? or you have actually have no space left.
confused 2021-03-12 -1 point
How do I replace the Speed2 file? Every time I try to move the new Speed2 file into the folder, it simply says "There is insufficient space." It gives me no option to overwrite or replace. I've tried everything I can think of and I'm just totally unsure what I'm doing wrong.

@UPDATED INSTALL GUIDE
I wouldn't say completely ignore my guide, personally I would avoid KeyGens "most" of them are malware. I my guide I have included the key needed to get the game going,some useful spec info along info for getting the game working on Linux, another way of doing it in general, I take it your guide is soley for windows though.
However I thank you for the very useful tip regarding the game crashing, wasn't too sure as to why that was :)
ADDENDUM TO THE GUIDE 2021-03-04 0 point
I'm not entirely sure if the controller fixes are enabled by default with the Widescreen Fix patch, so make sure to open the .ini file and set ImproveGamepadSupport to the right number for you.
UPDATED INSTALL GUIDE 2021-03-04 20 points
Alright, here's the best, hopefully idiot-proof install guide for this classic. Ignore BK2010's guide as it has some issues and is outdated.
Step 1: Install the game by mounting the ISO for CD1 and running the setup.exe, then mounting CD2 when prompted. You can get a key for the game online or use a Keygen.
Step 2: Install the 1.2 update, it's absolutely necessary to have it! In most cases, it'll be a matter of just running the executable and the patch will install itself super-fast without having to do anything.
Step 3: Crack the game, aka overwrite SPEED2.EXE with the one from the NoCD download.
Step 4: Install the Widescreen Fix for the game, which also fixes some issues and allows you to properly play with a controller. You can find it here:
https://github.com/ThirteenAG/WidescreenFixesPack/releases/tag/nfsu2
Just open the file and drop the .dll and the scripts folder into the same directory as your SPEED2.EXE. It'll work on its own, but you can tinker with the settings, found in the 'scripts' folder, if you need to and know what you're doing. If you have issues with the game crashing when entering shops and stuff like that, open the .ini file and change SingleCoreAffinity = 0 to = 1.
Step 5: Right click the executable, go to Properties, and set Compatibility Mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
Step 6: Run the game. It should be at your desktop resolution by default, and if you plan on using a controller you really should change the controls. When rebinding them, don't be confused by the button that shows up; the inputs will be set to whatever you pressed, even if it displays a completely different button.
Step 7: Profit. Ideally you should be good to go. I recommend adding a couple more mods, particularly Extra Options, to fix up other problems the game has and get more out of the game.
There you go! If the game still doesn't work for you, then pray to the old gods or do some ritualistic dance: there's no further help I can give you at this point.
noob 2020-12-24 2 points
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?
qwerty 2020-12-15 0 point
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.
C e a p a V e r d e 2020-11-22 0 point
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 ?
NFSRETRO 2020-11-13 0 point
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 :)
Zephyr 2020-11-11 -2 points
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.
Zephyr 2020-11-11 2 points
So I am on Win 10 and got the game to start only with both image files mounted, I already replaced SPEED2.exe, but somehow it is not working without the discs yet. :(

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.
Misfit 2020-11-07 0 point
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.
Girfan3198 2020-10-07 -2 points
