NFSU2ExOpts VS dxwrapper

PCGamingWiki shows that the game only ever released physically on PC so those are the only options, as for patches ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix and NFSU2 Extra Options (and of course DXVK if you run into issues like the one mentioned in my post) are all you need to make the game run well enough and loyal to its original look

I figured out that, if you install Extra Options ( https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/290 , https://github.com/ExOptsTeam/NFSU2ExOpts/releases/tag/v5.0.0.1337 ) on your Need For Speed Underground 2 for PC, you can use the Debug Camera (press L twice on your keyboard), and this allow you to see the entire city of Bayview with a different view ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCTMxL1oeig ), and I want to do this a lot, but I can't because the Extra Options is not working with me!

Then, download this and place the files inside the game directory (C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity Classic).

There's also dxwrapper that implements old DirectDraw/3D interfaces with newer D3D9 api for better compatibility with newer Windows versions:

FYI: The Space Bar re-release features Elisha Riedlinger's DxWrapper (https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper), whose config file is otherwise stock with just FullScreen enabled. I strongly believe they didn't properly test it.

RTX Remix uses a custom d3d9.dll though so you additionally need another wrapper such as https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper to customize which dll should be loaded since by default d3d8to9 uses the default system file which will result in translated calls not being redirected to the path tracer used by Remix.

If you have a GPU that supports DXVK (Basically it forces DXVK to run the game in Vulkan intsead of it's usual DirectX 9, which the DX9 version hates GTA IV and while GTA IV hates DX9 back) and has more than 2GB of VRAM (DirectX Vulkan), then I HIGHLY recommend it: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases (Use this guide to install it: http://ant-sh.blogspot.com/2020/07/gta-4-stutter-choppiness-fix.html. If you want aliasing AND DXVK, use this guide: http://ant-sh.blogspot.com/2021/01/antialiasing-with-dxvk-and-gta-iv.html. If your GPU doesn't support Vulkan, use DxWrapper: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/releases).
