[Arcade PC] Need For Speed Underground (With Working Frontend)

[Guest POPO69]

Salut la team quelqu'un a avancé" sur ce jeux?

moi je dois selectionner le partcour via un loader puis exécuter le jeux.

Pas possible de le faire directement dans le jeux? plus simple dans une race cab?

merci

Hello friend, I would really like to put this game in my arcade, but I have no idea how to install. Below is a screenshot of the files I have. What are the files you were able to install? Please give me a hand.

Where did you get those images? Can you share it?

Does this game work? By this I mean is there any upload which exists where the game can be run on a simple setup, without using VM's or any other kind of complicated solution, this is a great game absolutely but detail is hazy at best on whether Joe public can download and run it?

Yes, that's the console game. This thread is about the arcade version.

[StanceDance]

Sorry the bumping but uhhh, It's my first time ever using Arcade Dump w/o TeknoParrot, and I was worried that If I open this game, I can't close it and it's gonna keep doing that forever. It's that going to happen or no?

Would love to play this with the full frontend vs just the launcher.

is there any other drivers you need, because the game is running slow and the controls don't work that well

What drivers are you talking about, are you talking about drivers for my main GPU outside of VMWARE or drivers in the VM itself? I have a RTX 4090 and 4060. The visuals have a strange checkerboard and black screen. The sound is distorted aswell. I have been trying to get it to function in VMWARE Workstation 17 and its strange because the 3d acceleration doesnt work despite my message log not throwing any flags about it not working. This game is very important to me so I will do whatever I can to get it to work. Any help as to what I need, and what I can do is highly appreciated. Thanks!

i have not installed it in vmware. just on a regular computer so i dont know how vmware works. but i would assume that in the virtual box u need to install drivers on there , not just on your own computer. i dont even know if u get drivers for 4090 or 4060 for windows xp embedded.

Okay so you are just installing it bare metal, well I am talking about the VM that someone uploaded. The VM here doesnt have any form of acceleration

[lostit101]

but u need to install the drivers for your graphics card on the vm. if the driver for your card is not on the windows xp embedded u running , then how would u have acceleration? that would be impossible.  just cause u have the driver installed on windows 10 or 11, doesnt mean its installed in the virtual machine.

 

vm is basically "Running Windows on a virtual machine (VM) is like running a computer inside another computer"

if u run any os on the vm u need to install drivers for the os like say sound etc

 

this has nothing todo with the upload, its just that your graphics card is not being detected by the virtual machine windows xp .  same as what u would put this on a hard drive and boot directly to it, its the same thing.

 

so what u need todo is

 

1. find the driver for your graphics card that is compatible with windows xp embedded. u might have to download xp service pack 2 for this to work, i had to install xp service pack 2 to be able to install the driver.

2. run the vm and let the game boot

3. close the game , as in exit the game.

4. install your graphics driver  and reboot the vm . 

 

if u having issues with installing and getting some weird error from the driver setup. just run the setup and let it extract the files to a folder. then u go into device manager and look for something like display adapter and just click on that to install the driver manually .

But there is no driver for my GPU on XP. I have a RTX 4060 and 4090. Unless there is a passthrough driver, I would assume people are using modern components if they are using a VM. VMware SVGA II and others dont seem to give any acceleration. VMWARE gives a 3d Accelerator, but this XP image seems to lack the feature. VMWARE does supply a 3D accelerator if you push it through the app itself but there seems to be something broken. I am hoping someone who has some VMWARE experience with XP and 3D acceleration can assist

you should use windows 3.11... just a non sense to have a Gen 4 GPU with Windows XP...

if there is no driver for your gpu on windows xp, then u wont be able to play this i recon.

 

im not that familiar with vmware but from what i gather its just a emulation of a computer inside your os . so it runs like a real computer would only virtually...

so in that sense u need to install drivers on the vmware os not your own one, having a driver installed on your own os would not help u here.

 

so like i said , u need to install drivers on the vmware windows xp os itself to get this to work.

 

get a older gpu that has a driver for xp otherwise i think its game over and u wont be able to play this.

 

i got this to play by using this image to install it on a normal hard drive to boot straight into the operating system. so i did not use vmware.

You can be less rude, I was wondering if you can run 3D acceleration with a modern GPU in a VMWARE Workstation VM. I have seen many videos and posts on it through the years but it appears that it won't work on my setup. I have seen a few users here have GLOBAL VR VMs and I wasn't aware that these users were using old GPUs to run them in a modern computer through VMWARE.

Still works great after all these years. I saw a YT video though running this at some 4:3 high resolution. Is there any way to force this to run higher than 800x600?

u can link the youtube video? im curious about this.

My other question would also be anyone figure out someway to unlock all the cars permanently ? i have the original arcade cabinet but sucks that u cant just unlock the cars in the operator menu or something.
