NFS 4 Texture Mod for RetroArch Release

[Siggy Wiggy Woo]

Hi this is a texture mod for PS1 Need For Speed High Stakes for RetroArch to make the game look better, newer, more real and easier on the eyes. This is a skin mod so not 100% vanilla stuff. All main menu and track textures of good quality have not been changed at all.

How to install NFS and PS1 on RetroArch (these files are not incuded in the zip):
1. Download and install RetroArch on any system you want:
https://www.retroarch.com/
2. Start RetroArch and go to "Load Core" --> Download a Core ---> Sony - PlayStation (Beetle PSX HW)
3. Put your game file NFS 4 (SLUS00826) where you want it and your BIOS files "scph5501.bin" and "scph5502.bin" in the "RetroArch\system" folder


How to install the texture modification for the US version of the game:
1. Make sure your NFS 4 game file is named SLUS00826, else change it to that
2. Unzip the "SLUS00826_Texture_mod_v1.0.zip" file
3. Move the "SLUS00826-texture-replacements" folder to the same location you have the NFS 4 game file "SLUS00826" at
4. Load RetroArch and go to Settings ---> Video ---> Synchronization ---> Vertilal Sync (VSync), and turn it off, else the game will glich and lag
5. (Optimal) Move the "cheat" folder to your RetroArch folder, to make the game look and play better
6. (Optimal) Move the "config" folder to your RetroArch folder, for the best settings
7: (Optimal) This texture mod was made with Complete Edition mod installed, it makes the game a lot better (not made by me):

To get the Fast and the Furious Nissan Skyline skin the cheat "Swap Bonus Corvette to Bonus Skyline" needs to be enabled if Complete Edition modification is installed.

There are 4 new Hot Pursuit chases that can be enabled in the cheat menu, two of them are very hard with no timer, making barricades and spikestip more useful.

If the game is slow or the audio is bad change this option from 4x to 2x or if your device is powerful enough change it to 8x or 16x to make the game look better:
F1/Menu button ---> Core Options---> Video ---> Internal Resolution

On left side traffic maps, the track needs to be mirrored for the dashview to work.

This texture mod works on all versions of the game just change the folder ID, for example "SLES01876-texture-replacements" for the Australian version of the game
