Download Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed (Windows)

Fab 2023-09-18 2 points

Instal the game

Instal the patch https://www.nfscars.net/need-for-speed-porsche-unleashed/3/files/view/11514/

The game starts but crashes when initiating a race... ?

Use the magic tool dgVoodoo2 http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/ You can find instructions on YT how to use it. A very simple tool for running old games on new systems. Just copy a few files and a few configuration steps. You choose the old graphics card you want to emulate. You can also set full HD resolution, Antialiasing (AA) and Texture Filtering up to x16 Anisotropic

Works for me then.

Hey everyone, I've had a project for a few years now making new installers for old PC games; Need for Speed - Porsche Unleashed is one of the games I've restored
Come check out Legacy Gamer's Union on Discord for this game and plenty of others that actually work on Windows 10/11

I installed everything correctly, including nGlide and the V2 addon essentials, but game crashes after the intro movie. Even happens after running in compatibility XP SP 3. I used the 3.5 No CD patch, and also tried playing with the virtual CD still mounted, but no change in playability; still goes straight to desktop after playing the intro. I'm on Windows 10 v22.

Worked for me in Win10. Crashes sometimes in Normandie. The Additional Cars mod removes some content, I copied the original files back.

Rashel Chowdhury 2023-04-13 -3 points

I recently played NEED FOR SPEED: PORSCHE UNLEASHED on platform and found it to be a great racing game. The gameplay was smooth and intuitive, with a good variety of cars and tracks to choose from. I particularly enjoyed the drift mode, which added a fun challenge to the gameplay.

The graphics and sound effects were impressive, with detailed car models and realistic engine sounds.

blahblah lets race 2023-03-22 3 points

i love the car destruction in this game, if you destroy your vehicle too much it actually can affect your progress in the game, makes the stakes higher than any other racing game ive ever played. not to mention the only game that has a used car market simulator built in, great music, 10/10 game

HENTZAU 2022-11-03 2 points

@ MEROVINGIAN Thank You so much for your instructions. I did what you told and it has
worked on Windows 11 so good so far.

I have seen a warning about reply on the web . "To quit with saving YOU MUST NOT USE 'ESC', instead you must use the 'quit' button that can be found on the replay taskbar (somewhere in the middle)"

Driver 2022-11-02 1 point

@CAS

Apparently if the display resolution you're using in Windows exceeds 1080p when you try to install the game, it can somehow cause the installer to either not launch, or spazz out while it's "working" which can lead to issues with the game running. I've seen someone post this solution on a different site, so maybe give it a try? If you were already at 1080p or below then I dunno.

Casp3r 2022-10-27 3 points

Unfortunately this game does not seem to work at all, even with all of the patches and modifications. I've tried this on multiple different machines, even updated my laptop to windows 11 because someone claimed that it "works very well" with win11. But it's all BS. Even if you're able to install it successfully (which doesn't work on my laptop following these instructions on windows 10 or 11,) the game simply will not run. I got it to install somehow on my desktop running windows 10, and it just plays the nglide title card and then goes to a black screen or freezes on the porsche title card.

I've tried following so many different tutorials, running in compatibility mode, editing my registry, and got nothing.

Unfortunately there seems to legitimately be no way to run this game on a modern system. windows XP VM's are too slow to play on, tried that as well. I think the only way to get it to work would be to buy a system from the early 2000's that is still running windows xp or even 7, and try to run it on there. Otherwise you will have no success, unfortunately.

If anyone somehow does claim to have any success, be my guest. enlighten me. because i have probably tried over 8 times now to get this game to run and have not succeeded once. I just want to play this stupid game that i remember being really fun when I was a kid.

Adi 2022-09-19 0 point

For people who are unable to start the setup. Search for "Resource monitor" in the windows search bar. Click on it and keep it open. Once you start the setup you should see, "Setup.exe" in the resource monitor. Right click on that and then select "Analyze wait chain". You should see a program running below "Setup.exe", select that program and end that process. If the setup doesnt start, find Setup.exe again in Resource monitor and again select "Analyze wait chain", this time you will see a different program, end that as well. The setup should start now.

For some reason, it downloads a zip file with only a .bin file and a VLC file that doesn't even play. And when I try to read the .bin with a file opener it takes me to VLC MP.

Thank you @XENOMORPH. I was skeptical to run unknown .exe file, had to do it as last resort as my PC couldn't run the setup file on the original CD. With your setup file it was easiest thing.

It's absolutely best game of the Need For Speed Series. It works on Windows XP very well. You don't need ISO Files to play.

1. Install the nGlide if you haven't yet.
http://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide/d-1.html

2. Download the zip file contains all files and Patch Folder
https://mega.nz/file/PXxDUQLI#3TqyJ1G-JRMWOylj8egqzTtA4CkJ3yLQN06jAm50Ot8
Password : Merovingian-MyAbandonWare

3. Extract the zip file to any folder and run AutoRun.exe
DO NOT INSTALL THE GAME FROM USB OR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE (You can get 16 Bit Application Error)

4. After the installation is finished, copy & paste all files in the PATCH Folder into the C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed - Porsche Unleashed\ Folder

5. Now you are ready to Go

Evaldas 2021-12-26 3 points

I managed to install it after disabling one of the background programs interfering with the setup. Then it would not launch, so I installed that 3.5 patch. Once the game was launching I have not been able to enter any race, the game would just crash.
I tried few tweaks with the resolution but nothing worked, so i gave up and uninstalled this game.

ey GAVEGA - it's an ISO, you right-click it and there will be a 'mount' option near the top of the context menu (in win 10) - if not win10, google 'mount iso' freeware and install something open-source and mount it with that.
This makes a fake CD in My Computer, use it like a disk drive and install away.

Anon 2021-06-28 2 points

You need to install a program like MagicISO to be able to mount the BIN file that's been downloaded. Then you can install it.
Afterwards, just run it in compatibility view.

Gavega 2021-06-08 -1 point

Once downloaded, I see no way how to install it. I have the old version in a CD, unfortunately, it doesn't work on new computers.

Soboy 2021-04-04 1 point

One of the best racing games! The Evolution mode really adds a nice element of money management that helps make you think when rushing through stages and crashing your car. As your car gets banged up, your car's performance starts taking a hit, but if you keep repairing your car before every race, repair costs start adding up, and you're losing lots of money.

If your game is crashing specifically on Normandie track, try turning "Lens Flare" off on advanced graphics options menu. It worked fine to me.

Try deactivating compatibility mode if you have Win10 to avoid game crashing during races.

@valmord autobahn, alps and switzerland they are not bonus tracks, they are tracks released when completing the "evolution" mode (which is basically the career, you buy your own cars, fix them to be damaged and eventually buy upgrade parts).
I love the "classic" part of the career, the 356 and 911 are perfectly represented

Works great on WIN10, but you have to input the emulator command right after running the shortcut or else it crashes back to desktop.
1. Start the game by clicking the shortcut on your desktop
2. IMMEDIATELY press ` (the key left to the 1 on your keyboard) and type in /ECHO WINx486 emulate true = 1
3. If you typed it correctly, now the game runs in compatibility / emulator mode
4. Enjoy

I think you should play around with the in game graphic setting or your graphic setting, reset it, or whatever. Also sometimes resetting your progress may fix this, stepback a bit. Sometimes you need to drive carefully.
