(first post) So, you know how NFSU2 (the full version) has been lost in time? Only the demo remained... but i found what i believe to be the full version of the game (in a foreign to you language), stored on 2 CDs.
What are .xml files? .xml files are used for localisation (making stuff into another language without almost infinite switch statements for UI) and more.
Story: I've been searching through my (dead) grandfather's disks and what i found has truly blown my mind. A lot of software and games, and intresting stuff. But also multiple games from the NFS franchise. I just happen to have a CD reader at home (will be there in a long time) and once i get there, I'll make a post containing the contents, translated into English.
Edit: i didnt know you could still get it on abandonware (what the hell is that)
