Need for Speed 2 on Linux

[RTheren]

As you guys mentioned last week, NFS2 has got cross-platform port on github

Code:

https://github.com/zaps166/NFSIISE

I’ve played this game more than 10 years ago, so I gave it a go.

Status report:
1. Compiling: Had to download 32bit libraries of yasm, sdl2 and opengl. It compiled in less than 5 seconds.
2. Actual gameplay:

I’ve played this on Intel Integrated Graphics.
No crash, freeze, anything.

It just works.

I’m guessing you’re on some sort of Red Hat variant?

hmm… I have the cd image mounted but i still get the “needs fedata” message

EDIT:
had to convert bin to iso image first; script doesn’t like fuse mounted drives.

worked great but … man did i play the fuck out of that game when it first came out and now i can’t imagine what drugs i must have been on

Yeah, we need to provide a better way of detecting CD-ROMs, the one we have is too strict.
