Additional Comments

To install the game set Windows version to 98. Then run 3dsetup.exe and choose "Direct3D Device 1". After that start the game as usual. I used ATI Radeon graphic card R500 with Gallium 0.4 driver + S3TC. Card's clock were set to low and the game run smoothly.

HowTo / Notes

Installation
  1. For best results, try using one of the WINE/distribution combinations listed as working above.
  2. Run winecfg and set Windows Version to Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME.
  3. Also, you may want to check "Emulate a virtual desktop" on the Graphics tab if you have trouble with the game not exiting nicely.
  4. Run wine 'D:\setup\english\setup.exe', replacing 'D:\' with the letter of your CD drive, and 'english' with 'spanish' if you want to run the Spanish version.
  5. Follow the installation instructions on-screen. There will be a few errors, but just click 'Ok' and keep going. Don't try to register at the end.
  6. In a console, change to the NFS3 installation directory by typing something like cd '.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Electronic Arts/Need For Speed III'. Trying to run the game by clicking the icon, or from a different directory, will not work.
  7. Run the game with wine nfs3.exe -d3d0.
3dfx HOWTO
To play the 3dfx version of this game, I recommend installing the glide wrapper available here: http://www.zeckensack.de/glide/
16-bit Code

This game contains 16-bit launcher code. To be able to run it, you must run the following as root:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16
