All Games Updated And Secondary Mirror Added
This is insane. Ive been looking for a safe NFSC download for YEARS. I will download it ASAP and see how well it runs.
Wide screen patch already applied with collectors content 😅
I never played it on PC. only console. And then emulated it. Im sure nothing will come close to native hardware support.
Again, thank you so very much for making my childhood come back to life
Oh it plays very well, new enough to not cause too many problems :)
If you have issues with stuttering the only thing that can cause it is an animated/moving desktop such as a slideshow or wallpaper engine or the core affinity is too high.
Just drop any NFS game down to 2 cores and it makes it stable, mainly effects high end multicore systems :)
FYI guys, list has been updated with more titles that was requested added.
Hey it's been 9 months but I gotta say man, I love you
Thanks its great that you got them set up so no need for install and kept them portable. Can you check the Hot Pursuit 3 folder? Its empty when i check it. Thanks
Apologies for this, it's on my to do list, it's such a small game the .exe gets flagged whilst still in a .zip folder and therefore blocked for public download , I'm going to add a big junk file to the .ZIP called delete just to bypass the scan so you guys can download it, although a little annoying it's the best way to guarantee it stays up
The Run has been patched to a later .exe to now run on windows 11, just future proofing :)
Hey guys!
Another quick update.
Need For Speed: Carbon now has DLC cars enabled through progression, thought it was a bit better then just having all cars unlocked instantly for everyone, kind of defeats a playthrough starting with an OP car!
Oh man original Most Wanted. I've been wanting to buy that for ages but it's just not possible digitally AFAIK. Thanks very much. I've missed the bad acting!
Not a problem, is the black edition btw :)
Fucking hero
Dude thank you! I’ve been wanting to dive back into the game that basically shaped my music taste. From BFMV, A7X and Mastodon. Started it on my gamecube when I found my controller but it doesn’t look and feel the same on a new tv then how it looked like back on a tube tv. At least now I’ll be able to look better on PC
Doing the Lord's work. However I advise, always be careful directly downloading preconfigured games. I've tested MW and Carbon and my PC is fine, so far. Games run flawlessly. Undercover was red flagged, even the link was malicious. Probably not from your side but I just don't want to risk it. In any case, you're doing this in your time and no one is paying you so you still deserve recognition. Just know that I'm still extremely grateful nonetheless.

I play on my steam deck, and NSFC won't let me change the resolution in the game. It freezes. Is there another way to change it
I’m having the same issue, NERD SOS.
If your lucky enough to be using a steamdeck and want to play older nfs games, you'll need the scripts working for the widescreen!
Add the game to steam as a non steam game and then use this as the launch command on steam
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command%
This will fix all controller, resolution and widescreen fixes for you, and also fix Prostreet from being unplayable 🙂
Thanks Guys!
ChemicalFlood
Thank you so much
How the hell did you find under cover I’ve been searching for ages
Disc version I modified :)
Dude, this is fucking incredible. Ive been trying to install Porsche Unleashed yesterday so this is a godsent. Thanks so much!
No problem, I'm adding more series slowly on more posts, juiced just went live on the subreddit!
Most Wanted worked like a charm! Thank you so much. I didnt have to deal with all the other stuff downloading it from abandonware.com
UG1 Wide-screen patch has been applied, it's the same download link but will now support full screen!
Hey guys NFS II SE is finally live! Windows 11 native support :)
Thanks so much for this, ive been trying to get some of these games on pc for ages but couldnt find a safe way but now have thanks to you. 10/10
Hey OP I can’t seem to download any of them is there a specific way to do it. I get a message saying it’s too large to download on google. No matter what browser I use I get this message.
Sounds like you might be using a metered connection, not something I've ever heard of anyone having before!
Any other ideas I promise im not
Does it just come up with a failed download? Might be wise if you send me the screenshot of the error so I can advise :)
I’ll send you the error I get as soon as I can thanks for being so helpful
Have you added specific mods in every game?
This is great list OP. Thank you for this. I want Most wanted 2012 special edition. Does anyone have it or knows where can I get it from?
Most Wanted 2012 was remastered in 2018 I believe and all original store fronts point to the new version which is still sold, on paper there's no reason to play the older version as there's no major difference and because of this it's not abandonware and a free download would break piracy rules, that's why it's not on list.
If any of the games on this list was remastered they would also be removed hastily for the same reason.
It's a grey area for sure, but, it's not worth potentially grabbing EA's attention and losing everything for a single title they could argue would lose them money on the currently still sold remaster :)
Edit: Most Wanted wasn't remastered, but, it's still purchasable and is directly against piracy, the game I spoke about above is in Reguard to Hot Pursuit 2010
Heyy, just downloaded Undercover but it keeps crashing
Hey Guys,
Another update this time for Undercover.
Widescreen Patch Enabled with higher resolutions
Older Standard 1.0 Exe for mod Compatiblity (works with Reform)
all CE cars now unlocked for purchase in dealership
I know there is DLC packs for this game but, they mainly require version 1.18 even if I could find them and the game is extremely unstable
Yoooo you made my day with those NFS/DiRT/Grid collections. I’ve downloaded every one of them to revive mi childhood, thank you a lot. One question, I’ve been testing GRID (1) and DiRT 2 and I was trying to change the language (spanish speaker here) but I haven’t found any option on game settings on each one. I’ve seen the language files too on game files for each one, it’s posible to change the language per game?? Can you help me please? Thank you a lot!!
Others have said that before, but you're a saint and my hero, thank you so much, now I can replay my old childhood Need for Speeds and the ones I missed out on.
No problem!
Hey guys, Prostreet DL has been replaced with a new version with more fixes as follows!
Missing graphical issues such as missing parts from cars
sound fixes to dlc cars
New internal save folder for the game, no longer broken save path for certain people who experienced it
Black screen and autores issue resolved on first Time start up
affinity issue not as apparent
added controller support for other xinput gamepads out the box
just overall better polished experience (no mods have been made to take away from the vanilla experience graphically or gameplay wise)
If anyone has issues with the new link, please let me know :)

Does these games have viruses, or is it a false positive? Because on virustotal.com it says that it has some viruses, varying from 1 - 7. Is it safe to download without getting any viruses?
Fyi, most cracks or fixed EXEs will ping positive for viruses because of how they're made. It's a good rule of thumb to only download this stuff from a place you trust, and the entire reason I modded u/ChemicalFl00d is because of the work dude puts into this sub. He's one of the good ones, you can trust him.
For the most part I go through (or another mod) and actively remove posts from sites you can't trust. That's why we don't allow torrents, there's no way to tell it actually comes from where it says it does. When in doubt? We've got a list of sites you can trust, with the caveat that downloading literally anything off of the internet comes with a tiny bit of risk. But OP of this post? He's our ace, he's the GOAT of this subreddit. You can always trust his work.
Thank you so much! u/ChemicalFl00d I hope that you have a pleasant weekend :)
Bro please tell me if there are any viruses in the files my computer is newer and ı want to play nfs most wanted 2005 again but ı dont want to get a virus
I wouldn't include viruses in these, if I did the comments would be screaming at me 😅
Thank you OP, I was longing to play NFS MW again. But I lost my disc for my PS2.
Now I can play it again, and this time I can try the Black Edition for the first time ever!
You're awesome!
d3dx9_26 .dll keeps popping out, I already downloaded the _Redist,zip. Any suggestion on how to make it work?
Prostreet now supports Steamdeck with all fixes :) (gdrive only)
I can't make the Hot Pursuit 2 work, when I try to open the game I keep getting an exception error, saying that it doesn't have the access to read/write a certain virtual address.
Any fix to this?
Most likely the filepath, usually onedrive causing issues :) move the game to C:/my games for example
ive heard this list is the most trusted source so far, so i hope to not get pinged by the windows antivirus
This still up to date and working fully? 🙏
Bro. Whoever you are, wherever you are, I pray that all your dreams comes true. You are a God sent individual. for months I've been looking for a safe download for need for speed games. Bro i aint got nothing but thanks and love for you.
Google drive always tells me that the download quota for pro street has exeeded. The mirror says link expired. Could you please update the dl links somehow? Thanks! =)
this guy is a legend
Thank you :)
You, sir, are doing God's work. Thank you for keeping these games alive.
Shift 2 Unleashed is now Version 1.02 with all DLC!
Underground 1 and underground 2 was just re-released with new fixes, stability improvements and language support :)
Need for speed 1 now available :)
The Run has improved 360/xbox one controller support and also Shift 2 now has limited/collectors content enabled :)
Porsche Unleashed has now been patched to include Music and cutscenes
Hey u/ChemicalFl00d, running ProStreet here and it works perfectly :)
I wonder tho if I can change the price of the cars, because it might be kinda boring to just buy a Veyron for 0€ and win everything without any effort
Hey OP do these versions you have split screen ? Really want to play underground 1 or 2 against my siblings. Pls let me know !!!! Thanks
Is it possible to add mods to carbon?, like the (still work in progress) NFSCO (need for speed carbon online) mod that has been out for a while?
I've been wondering if I can mod carbon, as I wanna also track down mods that add more classic amarican muscle cars that I like, ect
nsf mw 2005 game crashing after 15 minutes of pursuit any fix ? cant run the game again unless restart pc.
Hello, I have a problem with Underground 1, basically when I change the in game settings like controls and graphics they get reset the next time I boot the game. Any fix for this issue?
Chemical i am getting the error "download quota exceeded for this file..." on the google drive for NFS Carbon. if that doesn't tell you that you're doing God's work then i don't know what does! lol
2 questions for underground 2: Is there any way I can play on my second monitor? I chose the corolla and every race has only one car model which is the corolla even when I changed my car. Is there I way I can fix that?
hey man just wanted to say thanks for the download prostreet running at a solid stable 300fps max settings
just curious tho can you play online or are ea servers completely down for the game?
on installing NFSU2 on win11 and double checking all drivers installed, i can see it tries to open the application as a little blank square appears on my task bar, but then it just goes again and nothing loads, I've tried running as administrator as well but that didnt change anything. Is there something super simple I'm missing in this?
Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Game doesn't run on a Onedrive file location on windows 11, downloads, documents and desktop is all off limits!
Move the game to C:/my games for an example and it will fire up :)
Man i keep running into to the 0c00007b problem when trying to launch most wanted:(( Been trying to get it running for hours
