  2. UPDATE: I copied the music and movie files from the CD to make them play. Music plays properly along with almost all videos. ALMOST, because 1 video doesn’t play: the intro. Everything else works fine. As earlier, I applied all 4 *.sdb patches in the folder. But to use the later dgvoodoo, not the one included in the preinstalled version available here. I tested the accelerated version and it works as it should, but the image quality is poor. Is it because I screwed something up? Now I’m asking you how to enable the intro video. Maybe you have an idea how to force this ONLY video to play?

  3. NFS II Se doesn’t work properly. I ed the preinstalled version from HERE and I’ll tell you this: the game got stuck when I tried to play a showcase video even after I applied the *.sdb patches (all 4) in the folder! I used later version of dgvoodoo, so I could run the game. I found 2 dsound files and copied them to the game directory, so the sound isn’t distorted. It’s delayed by… half a second or so. I can’t recommend the preinstalled version available here. But why isn’t its incompleteness stated here? I mean: the game has no music or videos. Oh well, I ran the nfs2sen.exe file, so I couldn’t test the accelerated game (nfs2sea.exe you recommend running). At least I could save a lap record and settings…

  4. I ed it and followed the steps and it worked, the game started, although there was not the menu game, but when I clicked to start the race it would not load, and I had to force shutdown because I couldn’t even open Task manager by ctrl alt del. Sad. For a moment I thought it would work
