Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 — Windows port
A static recompilation of the PlayStation 2 game for Windows: the game's own code, translated to C++, on a native Vulkan renderer, with PC controls, menus, profiles and settings. Ported by ZloiKILLER.
The game is not included. You need your own copy, a disc image (.iso) or the disc itself in a DVD drive, of one of these releases:
- USA, SLUS-20362
- Europe v1.00 and v2.00, SLES-50731
- Asia, SLPM-65181
- Korea, SLPM-67527
Playing
- Download
speed.exefrom Releases. - Start it and choose Install. It asks for your disc image (Browse) or takes the disc from a DVD drive (From drive), and for the folder to install into (any folder you like), checks the disc, and puts everything the game needs there (about 3.6 GB; the disc is only read). Then the game starts.
- From then on start
speed.exein that folder (or the shortcut on the desktop).
To update, download the new speed.exe, start it and choose Update: it asks for the folder the game is installed in and replaces the
program and the port's own files there. Settings, saves, replays and data\replace stay as they are, and no disc is needed.
README.txt in the game's folder has the settings and what is in the folder. The controls are in the game: Options > Controls.
Needs: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, a graphics card with Vulkan.
How to build it, how the repository is laid out and whose work it uses: TECHNICAL.md.
