Worked like a charm for me on Windows 10. I remember trying to play this on my old Win 7 rig and was baffled that nothing I tried would work (even tried some fan-patch at the time and even that didn't help.) It's 2024 and NFS IV High Stakes is still one of the best in the whole series, and genre in general. Game on, homies 🍻
Dude, thanks for making this vid. With your help I got NFS4 and 3 running beautifully with z-buffer.. My inner child thanks you, I've missed these games in their full glory
I'm more nostalgic for NFS 2 and NFS 3, and prefer their soundtracks, but I have to agree that NFS 4 is peak NFS. It has all the tracks of NFS 3 in it, plus many more, and has a campaign, car collecting, and damage system for the first time. Even though I still like NFS 5, its 5 environments felt very barren and less interesting compared to NFS 4's and earlier games, which makes it not as good, IMO.
I tried buying newer NFS on steam and they tried adding action stuff and like destroying vehicles it just not the same but this classic is perfect and now i can play it on Windows 10 thank you. Worked perfect.
High Stakes was my favourite game and wish that a remaster could be launched so we can play it in modern computers. I feel so happy that i found your video and now i can play my fav NFS game. Thank you so much!!!
Bravo! Works brilliantly on my old 2017 Macbook Air with bootcamp Windows 10! For all of those that are having problems with the intro cutscenes not having audio and the game being black, please uncheck "Use desktop resolution" in the nGlide tab in setupMP. You can't use high resolutions, but at least the game works.
kind of late for commeting seeing how he's not uploading anymore, but this is a great tutorial video, the game runs perfectly on my pc, thank you for making it
Been looking for a solution like this for so long, thank you so much! By the way, if you encounter any missing files, make sure you copy the files from the disc and not from the local program files folder.
Thanks for this video man! I had the game installed but it wouldn't boot up. Thanks to you i can now once again play one of my childhood favourite games. Super!
I’m quite impressed. This game is actually the game with best visuals and I had used to a copy of Windows XP on one of my drives with the multiload, as visuals were working only like that, and other people used to forfeit this greatest creature after playing with wrected as degenerates were thinking it were just old visuals as they were. Unfortunately i’ve switched my drives before I had time to fully complete this great game with ultrarealistic gameplay (i’ve done it before of cause, but still this game is just most greatly done of all time) and setting up ALSO windows XP with all my multi load macs and different editions like ltsb and ltsc was simply just not possible, likely now after being disappointed in some levels of cb2 I didn’t give and just checked, and finally after some years I see this greatest creation with all the settings as expected and playable. I hope you people enjoy this truly magic game
I attempted to download the modern patch, but my computer won't allow me due to it detecting viruses in the files. Is there an alternate download site?
Hi, I tried to make it like the guy in the video. But when I download the modern Patch my PC say it was an Virus detected named Trojan:AndroidOS/ZkarletFlash. Is that normal and safe? Was that the same at you?
@@Chorse91 As long as you use the links indicated for the downloads you shouldn't have any issues. I got a similar warning but ignored it and haven't had any issues myself since installing.
@@VonDrinkoften By the way, I just saw you play ETS 2. I play it too 😂 A good game 😎💪 Greets from Germany in the near of Hanover. And I can say, the new builded City of Hanover is very real 😁👌
funciona a la perfección, llevo años tratando de jugar este juego, la ultima vez que lo jugue fue en el año 2002, y por problemas de compatibilidad de los nuevos S.O no lo pude instalar, muchas gracias
ty now it almost crashes no more, i played all afternoon and only one crash, good job, i love this game, i grew up with it and i was pissed of not can play it anymore! i also fixed the police steering glitches and got a nice crown vic for hometown, not that crappy one origina! thanks again man! i see too much polygons cars slow the game down, better install car witn not too much detail, sry for english, im italian
Great video man! The patch worked and the game runs really good! But sometimes i have a strange problem. When i start up the game, sometimes the EA logo and intro cutscene have no sound and when i skip them, the game goes into a black screen where i can hear the menu music but can't see anything and sometimes the only way to close it is by turning the PC off because not even Task Manager works. In other times the game starts up and runs great. Any solution to this problem?
I followed all of the steps in the video and when I ran the game, the FMVs were mute and the game menus wouldn't display. Though it might have something to do with the fact I didn't have nGlide properly set up. Thankfully after a little bit of tinkering, I tried to run it using dgvoodoo instead, and now it works fine. Also, I have to turn widescreen off in game, because having it turned on shows the gameplay in letterbox mode with black bars top and bottom. So I suggest turning widescreen off if anyone else is having this issue.
Dude, my new installation of Need For Speed Road Challenge does not work. I patched it and it still does not work because it keeps asking for the CD, although it is in the PC.
I did EVERYTHING you taught... only when the widescreen is both activated and deactivated in the game, after exiting the race and returning to the menu... the game exits and the message "Abort Message: AMF =5 screen.c (563)" What does that mean? how do i fix it?
I had the same problem. You need to disable "triple buffering" in the video setting. If you can't start the game because of the error, just delete config.dat in the savedata-folder.
Hey man, the link to download the addon cars is not working. All the other downloads I have found require High Stakes to be installed by the installer, which is not in this video. Is there another link to get the addon cars from?
Can't believe it worked. Kudos... Can you do NFS Porsche? I think post Windows XP it started crashing randomly. Also Scarface without the single CPU trick.
You probably didn't expect another response to this video after over two years, but I'm having some trouble with the "all cars" zip. I'm placing the files as suggested, but I run the game and my car list is still full of gaps. Was there something I missed?
Thank you, this worked well for me. However, I had some proplems with the initial start up inside the game. The screen after the intro video was completely blank. I went back to the mp.exe and changed the settings to d3d from voodoo. It is now working, but running like stuttering crap.
I'm getting no music at all or even speech sounds and the track menus causes the game to crash, meaning I can't even change the number of laps and other track stuff. Everything else works perfect though.
When I run the game using these settings, there's no sound in the opening intros and the game screen is blank due to interference. It might have something to do with the ffdshow prompt always showing up when running old programs, but I don't know whether or not this is the case. Please help.
Never mind. It turns out what was doing it was the modern patch setup you suggested that was interfering with the game itself. I did the process again, only without extracting the modern patch setup to the directory and it works fine now.
Hi I have NFS RC wich is High Stakes in Europe. I was doing the tutorial and when i downloaded the patch my anti virus went a-wire. It detects AndroidOS/ZkarletFlash as a virus... any one with same issue? Kind Regards
So I dusted off my Logitech Wingman Formula Yellow wheel and pedals and no matter which button I pick, it won't shift past 1st gear. It will shift down to N and R. ???
I fixed it, or it fixed itself. On the Win10 system, Devices & Printers, right-click on Wingman Formula. Game Controller Settings > Properties. This will give you instructions to calibrate your controller X & Y axis and test all the buttons. After I did this, no more sticky shifting in manual tranny mode and no more stuck in first in automatic mode. You will need to assign the shift levers in the game and any other button functions you prefer. My Win10 machine already had a Wingman Formula Yellow driver for the device selected.

Best of the NFS series. Very fond memories of doing split screen with friends on a PC trying to share keyboard space.
I'm more nostalgic for NFS 2 and NFS 3, and prefer their soundtracks, but I have to agree that NFS 4 is peak NFS. It has all the tracks of NFS 3 in it, plus many more, and has a campaign, car collecting, and damage system for the first time. Even though I still like NFS 5, its 5 environments felt very barren and less interesting compared to NFS 4's and earlier games, which makes it not as good, IMO.
This actually worked, tnx man...I'm in tears...why time flies so fast...
I tried buying newer NFS on steam and they tried adding action stuff and like destroying vehicles it just not the same but this classic is perfect and now i can play it on Windows 10 thank you. Worked perfect.
This and NFS Porsche are the best ones. Thanks for the vid!

Gotta say though, when I first opened SetupMP it made me jump haha!

STREAM - unable to open file 'Data\Audio\Music\menu1.asf' why is that coming up to me every time is starting ??
i´ve done the same steps as you
Works great! Thank you =)
Great video! It worked great for me and managed to install it
Do you know if it's possible to play this game using an Xbox one controller?
best tutorial
Thank you so much man, I'm wondering if anyone has done this for need for speed underground. I have the same problems
Got error message when launching the game "Abort message - unable to open file 'Data\Audio\Music\menu2.asf"

I've put the disc into my computer but nothing will work. Tried clicking the autorun and setup files, and literally nothing happened every time
Can't believe it worked. Kudos...
Can you do NFS Porsche? I think post Windows XP it started crashing randomly.
Also Scarface without the single CPU trick.
occasionally it will freeze in the menu but plays like a breeze

As far as I know, nowadays you dont even need the CD.
hey, do you got the addons cars ? the original download link dont work anymore ? :(
Thanks a lot! :)
After I unlock bonus tracks and cars, I cannot use them anywhere else except for the career mode. Any ideas?
Too bad its not running on my system - cant use keyboard and mouse. And it shows "unable to open menu1.asf" during start
I have the patch and ISO downloaded, I mess with emulators and stuff but I am so lost tryna get this set up!
Thankyou So Much
Have a question, the setupMP menu does not allow me to view it in its entirety. Have take a screen shot but don't know how to share with you.
Anyone else have a freeze issue? Like during a bit of game play and keeps freezing for a second and then again a few seconds later

i miss it, link of patch is broken.. but nice video

so....if you dont have a disc tray on your computer are you just screwed? XD

game works but it locks when i try to rebind controls of G25 wheel

How do I unlock the NFS3 tracks they are all greyed out
Thanks man, but it seems for me the "force native resolution" doesn't appear to work, at 2560x1440. The game is running though, so thanks
