Today, we are playing the classic game Need for Speed: Underground 2 on Android. It’s one of the best street racing games ever. We’ll show you how to play it on your phone using emulators.
Need for Speed: Underground 2 came out in 2004 for computers and gaming consoles like PS2, GameCube, and Xbox. It was better than the first game, with more cars and ways to customize them. It also added a free driving mode in the fictional city of Bayview.
Play Original Need for Speed: Underground 2 on Android
Sadly, there was never a good mobile version. But now, almost 20 years later, we can play Need for Speed: Underground 2 on our phones thanks to emulation. Here’s how!
What Emulator to Use?
You can use either a PlayStation 2 emulator or a GameCube emulator to play Need for Speed: Underground 2 on Android. Both work well, but the best choice depends on your phone’s power.
For mid-range phones, we suggest using the GameCube version since the Dolphin emulator is better for this. For high-end phones, you can use either emulator.
Remember, for legal reasons, we can’t provide game files. You need to get the game from the original copy.
Steps to Play Need for Speed: Underground 2 on Android
1. nstall the Emulator
- For this guide, we will use the GameCube version, so install Dolphin. You can also download the PS2 emulator, AetherSX2.
2. Create a Games Folder
If you are using the emulator for the first time, create a folder on your phone to store the games. We suggest making a folder called “Emulation” and then separate folders for each console.
3. Add the Game to the Folder
- Put the Need for Speed: Underground 2 game file, which should be in .iso format, into the folder you just created.
4. Indicate the Folder Path
- Open the emulator and tell it where you stored the game. This helps the emulator find the game file.
5. Play!
- If everything is set up correctly, you will see Need for Speed: Underground 2 on the emulator’s main screen. Click on it to start playing!
How well the game works will depend on how powerful your device is.
Other Versions of Need for Speed: Underground 2 for Android
Besides the GameCube and PS2 versions, there’s also a version for Windows. You can try to emulate this on Android, but it needs a very strong device. Some options are Box4Droid or Winlator.
There is also a Nintendo DS version of the game, but it is very different from the console versions. If you want to try it, you can find guides on how to play Nintendo DS games on Android.
