For quite a while, I tried to find a way to play Need For Speed Underground (NFSU) on mac. Then I switched to a mac with M1, so the task became a bit more complicated.
The options from the internet are quite complex. I even tried to replicate some of them. But without any success. Installing Windows and running the game there (Parallels, Bootcamp, etc...) is quite difficult. Even in the case of success, the entire setup will greatly affect the device's performance and the gaming experience as a whole.
After some time, I started experimenting with various emulators of old-school consoles. And I saw in the list - PS1, PS2, and even PS3.
NFSU is one of my favorite computer games from my childhood. I never even thought that it was available on other platforms.
The search showed that NFSU is available on PS2. So we install the PS2 emulator (PCSX2) on mac and play our favorite races.
The intro song (Get low) is a track that will always be associated with NFSU
