Run the 3DSetup\3DSetup.exe to select your gfx card.

You can start the game then with Porsche.exe.

NFS5 has problems with some types of drivers for graphicscards, we suggest
you try a few out and complain to EA. TNT2/GeForce drivers 3.78 for example
seem to be problematic, so you should reinstall the 3.68 drivers.

NEW RIPRULES

This ruleset-draft was written in an attempt to restore fair competition
and at the same time encourage all groups to make the best possible rip.

Quality AND speed should be the main motives to rip a game.

The BEST rip is the one  that includes ALL the essential gamedata at the
SMALLEST size in a TIMELY manner  and not necessarily  the one that gets
released first.

1.  The disk  limit  is as of  now  70 x 2,915,000 bytes. This equates  to a
total  of 204,050,000 bytes of compressed  data.
Acceptable   compression formats at this  time are ACE  or RAR, followed
by the traditional PKZIPing.

The limit for standard game addons is 35 x 2,915,000 bytes. This equates
to a total of 102,025,000 bytes for the addon. ONLY the group that won a
rip is  allowed to release addons for it,  as too many times in the past
addons that were released by third parties did not work.

2.  Every release  under  this  limit MUST be  a functionally  and  playably
complete  game.  This  means  that  included  will  be  every  component
necessary for the successful completion of the game e.g.:

- all game executables that are needed,
- every level (single AND multiplayer),
- every track or course,
- all actor graphics etc,
- all registry entries used by a game (for Zone-multiplay etc).

Not necessary to  complete a game are usually manuals, editors etc,  but
those should stay inside a rip if possible, else released as an addon.

3.  Any lossless compression method to reduce the size of selected game data
is ALLOWED (e.g. uharc).

4.  Lossy compression is ALLOWED for  sound, videos and non-texture graphics
(e.g. jpeging of menu screens).  Lossy compression of textures is expli-
citly FORBIDDEN to  prevent the  many  problems inherent to that.

5.  Sound effects WILL and MUST be included. To reduce the size of rips when
possible, standard waveformat files (PCM) should be mp3-compressed.   If
the soundfiles exist  inside a bigfile its  highly regarded when time is
invested to extract those files to compress them.  Groups are not to re-
quired to index bigfiles though (for further comments read rule 13).

It is allowed to rip music, commentary/speech and ambient sounds as long
as the game remains playable.  Speech files  MUST be  included if  there
exist no on-screen subtitles.

If  possible,  ALL sounds and music should be included in a rip  and not
intentionally as addons.

6.  It is ALLOWED  to remove gamedata that exists in multiple resolutions or
formats as long as the  game remains playable on a typical system  which
is defined by a PII-300 with a D3D-card and soundcard.  This means it is
ALLOWED  to rip the folowing  gamedata as long as it gets released in an
addon not more than 4 hours after the main rips release:

- low-resolution textures for lowend systems,
- high-resolution textures for highend systems,
- high-screenresolution graphics data (above 640x480 or 800x600),
- hardware-dependent data (e.g. Glide textures).

7.  Movies (intros, cutscenes) should be removed if they are not game-related
Movies must be  ripped in a  way so that the  gameplay experience is  not
compromised, e.g. framing of movies is highly regarded.  It should always
be avoided  to  create  situations in  which  user-input is  necessary on
black screens because the video normally shown has been blacked out.

When movies/cutscenes  are necessary to understand the game they MUST be
included in the game.

8.  Other allowed addons for games include:

- cutscenes/movies,
- commentary/speech,
- music,
- manual,
- editor.

Intro addons are EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN.  Not more than 2 addons should be
typically released for a game.

9.  Children's games (aka  Kiddie  games) and  Edutainment  software  do not
qualify  under these rules  guidelines for acceptable  releases.  Kiddie
games are usually definied via the game target audience of  '5-12 years'
as stated by the game's producer.  Common  sense should  be used by  all
groups to identify what really is a kiddy game.

10.  Levelpacks, game addons etc. for rips are only allowed if they are offi-
cially released/authorized by the  same company/developer/publisher that
put out the original game. That means e.g. an Age of Empires II addon by
some lame-o-webstuff company is EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN, while an  addon by
Microsoft / Ensemble Studios is ALLOWED. Also allowed  would be an addon
that was 'officially authorized' by Microsoft/Ensemble.

11.  In regard  to games  distributed  in the  United States  that are  LATER
distributed in Europe  or vice versa under  the same or different name /
publisher.  These games  if released  AFTER another group's  release are
counted  as DUPES  unless  it can  be  proven that  there  is  a clearly
noticeable  PLAYABLE  difference in the  latter release  (more than just
tiny differences in graphics or sound). Differences in filedates between
Euro and US releases are NOT a good enough reason to  rerelease the game
(example: Supreme Snowboarding and  Boarder Zone are the same game, with
different Euro/US names and filedates. But as there was no PLAYABLE dif-
rence in the games, the release of Boarder Zone was a dupe).

12.  If two or more rips of the same game get released, the first working rip
wins.  Sites should not nuke any  release until the winning rip has been
proven to work correctly and follows the above ruleset.

13.  To prevent sloppy rips, a rerelease of a game is  ALLOWED and defined as
the winning release if:

a) it can be ripped in >=10 disks less than the previous release by using
only lossless compression methods.

b) it can be ripped in >=15 disks less or <50% of the size of the previous
release by using mp3-compression.

That means all the essential gamedata must be still included in the rere-
lease. If data gets removed, the rip-nfo must state why that data was not
essential to the gameplay.

The rerelease of a rip must be done in at most 36 hours after the release
of the original rip, as possibly every game is rippable in a smaller size
if enough time is spent.
