Need For Speed: Most Wanted Tutorial


A step by step tutorial on how to install NFS MW and how to get it to run

Requirements for this tutorial:

Release:

Need.For.Speed.Most.Wanted.CD.Version.Alcohol.Clone-ST0N3D
-or-
Need.For.Speed.Most.Wanted.Black.Edition.PROPER-CLONECD
-or-
Need For Speed Most Wanted Black Edition - HKZonda

Apps:

Daemon Tools 4
Safe Disc 4 Hide

Step 1: Installing Daemon Tools 4

Install Daemon Tools 4 on your pc. When you have Daemon Tools 3.47 (or a previous release) Daemon Tools 4 will uninstall it and it will ask you to reset your computer, afterwards you have to run the Daemon Tools 4 installer again to install the new version.

Step 2: Installing Direct X 9 and NFS MW

Mount CD 1 in Daemon Tools. Autorun will automaticly start (if autorun is disbabled, start Autorun.exe in the virtual drive) Direct X 9 will be installed first. Do not stop this progress!!! Let the installer finish installing Direct X 9 to your computer, once this is done it will ask you to reset your computer, do so! Once your computer is restarted and you return back to windows, the NFS MW installer will automaticly pop up and you can start installing NFS MW to your HD. Follow the steps given by the NFS MW installer.

Step 3: Using SD4Hide

Once NFS MW is installed on your HD you`ll notice the game won`t run and it will give you an error. Mount CD 1 in Daemon Tools (if not allready done so, do it now) and make sure you have Safedisc emulation enabled in Daemon Tools. Now start SD4Hide and press the "Hide" button and leave the window open!!! Do not close it!!! Safedisc protection is now emulated and you should be clear to start the game without any problem.

Step 4: Play the game

Now start NFS MW by the shortcut on your desktop or in the start menu and enjoy the game

Extra notes:

When you`re done playing the game, make sure you press "Restore" in the SD4Hide screen. Once done you can close SD4Hide. You have to run SD4Hide everytime you want to play NFS MW untill a crack comes out for it

These steps might not work for all of you people, this can have many reasons. Make sure Direct X 9 is instaleld properly by the installer and make sure you have the latest graphic card drivers for your graphic card.

NFS  MW FAQ:


Which one of all those releases is the Black Edition? They`re all the Black Edition.

Is the Bonus DVD included? No, the Bonus DVD isn`t included.

What about the 2 extra cars and extra pre-tuned cars from the Bonus DVD? Where can I get them? You don`t need to look for them, the release groups added them to the releases they made. They are included in all of these releases:

Need.For.Speed.Most.Wanted.CD.Version.Alcohol.Clone-ST0N3D
Need.For.Speed.Most.Wanted.Black.Edition.PROPER-CLONECD
Need For Speed Most Wanted Black Edition - HKZonda

How do I change mp/h into km/h? Go to Options - Gameplay - Units - Change Imperial into Metric and you see km/h instead of mp/h.

Where can I find a no-cd crack? There is no crack available yet, keep your eyes open for it.

Is the game multilanguage? Yes, it is.

I`m getting this message when I try to start the game: speed.exe can't open because D3DX9_26.DLL can't be found, what does it mean? Direct X 9 isn`t installed properly, re-install it or download the latest version at Microsoft.com

I`m missing part r55 from the STON3D release, where can I get it? Click here

What`s with the flame-o-meter? It indicates how much wanted you are by the police.

How can I lower the flame-o-meter? Get another paint job or add some vinyls to your car. You can also switch cars when you have more then one car, in time the heat of the other car will decrease.

Where are the extra cars from the Bonus DVD? Go to Quick Race - Custom Race - When you get to the car selection use the up and down keys to switch between stock cars, my cars, carries cars and bonus cars. You`ll find the extra cars in bonus cars.

Is they`re a money cheat available? Yes, Click here

My graphics are messed up, help!!! Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your graphics card, if you still have the same problem, lower the graphic details in Options - Video.

As they tell you in game... get a couple of cars.. (I have 5 now, just because of the pink slips ). When a car is really wanted.. use another car. The car you have parked in the safe house, will lower on heat. That way, work your way through all the cars Cheapest solution as well

EDIT:
Ow and btw.. I just installed it and played
No need (for me) to use any hide tools or whatever

For some it does, but for most it doesn`t, that`s why I said 4.00 That one works for sure

i didn't have to hide my CDs, but when i have to, i use virtual-cd-hide, works wonders.

l0l it worked for me with daemon tools 3.47 but the second time I entered it I had to download 4 :weep:

#459819 by fx2050Donor (Power User) at 2005-11-21 00:59:46 (7 years ago) - [Report]Top

yup works for me but I can only play 1 race before game quits then i come back later to play another, luckily I dont mind the odd race here and there.

(with daemon 3.47 and 4)

i'd like to know how to degrade a car to stock to get money for parts. i bought a Cayman and i've driven Cobalt so far. the Cobalt has over 50k of upgrades but i can sell it for only 13k.

#460542 by hst (Power User) at 2005-11-21 21:23:33 (7 years ago) - [Report]Top

TO downgrade your car, you go to the shop and just sleected teh lowest option available.

I doubt you get full value but you might get more than the 13 k

So far i'm finding the car you drive  doewsnt' really matter once its modified

Now if only we could figure out how to get replays, and multiplayer

i've found a way to turn off the blur effect...

run -> regedit -> local machine -> Software -> EA Games -> NFS MW -> g_MotionBlurEnable -> change to 0, not 1.

HTH,

If anyone wants it: Need.For.Speed.Most.Wanted.Black.Edition.Plus.12.Trainer-RaCERS



edit: @ billyf - I think that the PC DVD versions are all not the Black Edition, only PC CD is.
