Additional Comments

Using no-cd patch calling this run.sh: 'WINEDEBUG=-all,fixme-all wine AutoRun' calling 'wine C:\games\nfs\nfs6\nfshp2.exe' not always works, and calling nfshp2.exe directly never works. Graphic is perfect when all is set to full, but a bit laggy(but still playable). Im using 7300GT with nvidia binary blob. Its also laggy on radeonn 9600PRO/winxpsp2 on brother computer. It doesnt start on radeon 9200PRO using Mesa/free driver on identical system (PLD Th/winecfg 0.9.48) but compilled for i686.

I copied whole CD to HD, edit /autorun/autorun.cfg and changed EReg=1 and IEVersion=4.0 to EReg=0 and IEVersion=  and then start setup.exe, with that installation goes smooth:).

 Starting: CD must be in drive and then started his AutoRun.exe. (or you can use nocd patcher, but avoid running NfsHP2.exe directly !)
 Game menu: Cars, menu tree in Hot Pursuit, Championship, etc. not shown:(
 Playing: Very smooth, with some graphics problems (no tires), Special Efects and World Detail work with any settings, but Car Detail must be on low (with any other whole car not shown in the game)
 Sound: Perfect with OSS or Alsa, but with emulation (if your card doesnt has hardware mixer, because alsa dmix really sucks)

 Some messages from console, when in menu:
 fixme:d3d_texture:IWineD3DBaseTextureImpl_ApplyStateChanges >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_VALUE (0x501) from glTexParameteri GL_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT ... @ basetexture.c / 463

 and when actually start some race and play it, constantly give this:
fixme:d3d:get_src_and_opr Unhandled texture argWINED3DTA_SPECULAR
