Launch the game. The opening sequence (the BMW chasing the Aston Martin) should now play perfectly with full stereo sound. Bonus: The "Extra Options" Mod – The Ultimate All-in-One If you want more than just a fix—you want a remaster—download the "NFS Most Wanted Extra Options" mod (by Vltor vs Shadow). This is arguably the top free download for advanced users.
Direct link to the official dgVoodoo 2 page (by Dege).
Install the base game (CD, ISO, or an abandonware version). Do not run it yet.
It translates the old DirectX 8/9 commands into DirectX 11/12, which your modern GPU understands.
Install dgVoodoo2 . Drop the D3D9.dll file.
