** Release Information **

Sorry for this repack - the person who made the first iso had unknowingly
a virus on his system, W32/Elkern.cav to be exact. Make sure you always
run a good Antivirus-software - something very important as we learnt
again today. This repack is of course virus-free.

Game Notes:

Need for Speed (NFS) is back and faster than ever in
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2! Engage in the next generation thrill
of arcade racing with the spiritual successor to the highly acclaimed,
award winning Need For Speed III Hot Pursuit.

Drafting on its award-winning legacy, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2
stays true to the heritage of housing a stable of exclusive and
exotic cars from the world's most coveted licensors including Ferrari,
Porsche� and Lamborghini... to name a few.

Become the "Champion Road Racer" by conquering numerous racing events,
all carrying rewards such as: cars, tracks and high performance upgrades.
The game challenges the driver to dodge traffic, police and natural
elements in high speed and high style... true NFS style! Evade any
cops encountered, as getting busted just might end your career.

Game Features:

* Over 20 of the most coveted licensed exotics
* Be victorious in over 60 different racing events to become the
"Champion Road Racer"
* Dynamic lighting and real world reflections bring the cars and
tracks to life
* Realistic, detailed environments bring to life elements from the real
world - rain, brush fires, sunbeams and dust storms
* Maneuvering exotic super cars through traffic and police at upwards
of 160 mph puts you on the edge of your seat
* Open world environments and shortcuts allow for intense off-road
excitement

Install Notes:

1) Unrar with WinRAR.
2) Burn the .cue and .bin with CDRWin or Fireburner.
3) Install the game, use for install code: xrel-xrel-xrel-xrel.
4) Copy the files from the Crack\ dir on the CD into your installdir.
5) Start the game.

Special thanks go out to MeGaX!

Special note about the crack: we used a new approach, that leaves the
original .exe intact. It might allow you to update the game when patches
appear and still run the game. For that you will need to rename the
NFSHP2.ori to NFSHP2.exe before updating the game, and after updating
rename the NFSHP2.exe to NFSHP2.ori and copy only the NFSHP2.exe from
the Crack\-dir on the cd again. BTW, there is no need for a 'proper'
crack or whatever else some not-so-clever gimps, who can't even crack
a serial-check, might think.

DEViANCE Application Information

You think you can contribute to the scene too? You have one or more
talents in:

- supplying NEW unreleased GAMES (maybe you work at a game/util
magazine, courier delivery firm, newspaper, game press/marketing
company, distributor, publisher, duplicator, tv/radio show, shop,
warehouse, design firm, language translation company, packing company
store etc). You don't need a fast internet connection for the above!

- supplying NEW unreleased store/shop games BEFORE the store release
date & have a fast UPLOAD 300k+ internet connection and time to
spare on weekday mornings. We are NOT interested in modem,
cable, or DSL links as they can be capped at anytime! Proper
internet connections are needed! Of course we shall reimburse you
for the costs of the games you buy. As we buy our games!

- you are experienced in removing executable protection systems
(such as ASProtect, ASPack, Armadillo, tELock, NeoLite etc.)
and you are willing to help defeating the latest versions of
commercial iso copying protection systems like Safedisc 2+ or
Securom or Tages or VOB or Copylok or Laserlok. You must be
able to code in assembly language.

- you are a coder with lots of experience in Debugging/ASM & C/C++.
You also can code your OWN tools to automatically remove
commercial iso protections like the latest versions of any of the
following: SafeDisc or Securom or TAGES or VOB or Laserlok or
Copylok. Using tools created by others does NOT count and we
check! You will also need advanced knowledge of import tables
setting breakpoints with/and PE File Formats.

- you are a Unix guru with good Ansi-C software developing knowledge
and understanding how to prevent network security vulnerabilities.
That means you must be able to code to ansi-c guru level. And you
must also have a good coder perspective of hostbase and network
based intrusion detection systems. You should be able to code tools
to generically prevent stack and heap buffer overflows on unix in
Ansi-C. And Be able to code tools to look after a group of systems
and code sniffing avoidance tools. And you can configure a system
in ways to prevent packet sniffers and "man in the middle" attacks.

- supplying linux bnc shells to the group (for free).
They should have 2mbit MINIMUM link. We shall require flexible
control over the shell. Root access on the box with dynamic
ident such as midentd for bncs. All boxes must have legitimate
IP's, they should not be running NAT or a firewalling system
that will constantly interfere with the link. Ideal shells will
have multiple vhosts, reasonably good uptime (20+ days), and a
low system load. Public shells such as JEAH.NET or similar with
25+ load averages and 3 day uptimes are not acceptable. The more
reverse ips you have the better. We are only interested in LEGIT,
NON-HACKED/CARDED shells. These shells will be used only for the
purposes listed above and will NOT be used for any kind of
'dump site' or for spreading any kind of releases. We are NOT
interested in modem, cable, or DSL shells. The shells should be
up 24/7 with minimum downtime for upgrades, etc and should not be
overloaded with processes. We check!

- are you able to write source code to unpack & repack game related
major file format types such as MPQ, MIX & WAD? And can you also
identify most major big-file formats(files that contain more
files) by looking at the hex byte code of the header for that
file? Do you know what reindexing is in regards to game .exe's
and can you do it? And can you turn your OWN source code
written in ASM/C/C++ for the above tasks into executable group
tools? And do you also have 50K downlink for downloading new game
formats to write tools for? You must send example code of your
work with sources on major file formats for depacking/repacking.
Existing/stolen source will not be allowed!

- making trainers for newly released games, menu driven, must work
in Win9x and Win2K/WinXP. Also you must be on a 50k downlink at
least. And you have time during the week to do trainers.
Also you understand DMA & ASM debugging techniques and use them
to find your trainer codes. This is needed to make sure your
trainers will work on all operating systems!

If you can meet one or more of those requirements and want to join
the finest active group in the scene today, e-mail us.
Use the contact information given below.

And always remember: we do this just for FUN. We are against any
profit or commercialisation of piracy. We do not spread anything,
others do that. In fact, we BUY all our own games with our own
money, as we love game originals. Nothing beats a quality original.
And if you like this game, BUY it. We did!
