NFS HD Content Support

NFS HD Content Support is an ASI plugin by Aero_ for older Need for Speed titles that adds support for high-resolution textures and videos. The plugin adjusts the scaling of HD assets via an ASI script, so HD fonts, the cursor, and FMV videos display correctly. The textures and videos themselves are not included — this is only a "support engine". The mod is the successor to the outdated HD Font Support and is marked by the author as EOL (no further updates are planned).

The primary target is NFS: Most Wanted, but the archive contains plugin versions for several games in the series at once.

Supported games and features:
- NFS: Underground — HD fonts, HD cursor, Global Neon, Global Shadow;
- NFS: Underground 2 — HD fonts, HD cursor, HD-FMV, Global Neon, Global Shadow;
- NFS: Most Wanted — HD fonts, HD cursor, HD-FMV;
- NFS: Carbon — HD fonts, HD cursor;
- NFS: ProStreet — HD fonts, HD cursor.

Good to know: for correct HD video proportions in Most Wanted and Underground 2, you need Widescreen Fix with the FMVWidescreenMode = 2 parameter — HD Content Support adjusts the scale, while Widescreen Fix handles the proportions. You can combine the plugin with HD Font Support, but it is not necessary.

How to install

1. Identify your game and take the corresponding folder from the archive:
   • NFSUHDContentSupport — for NFS: Underground;
   • NFSU2HDContentSupport — for NFS: Underground 2;
   • NFSMWHDContentSupport — for NFS: Most Wanted;
   • NFSCHDContentSupport — for NFS: Carbon;
   • NFSPSHDContentSupport — for NFS: ProStreet.
2. Copy the scripts folder from the selected folder to the game installation folder (where the game executable is located).
3. Download and extract Ultimate ASI Loader: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases
4. Place the dinput8.dll file from the loader into the game installation folder.
5. Launch the game — the plugin will load automatically.
6. (Underground and Underground 2 only, optional.) For HD neon and HD shadows, open NFSUHDContentSupport.ini / NFSU2HDContentSupport.ini in the scripts folder and enable the required parameters (GlobalNeon, GlobalShadowIG, GlobalShadowFE), after first adding the HDNEON, HDSHADOWIG, HD_SHADOWFE textures to GlobalB.lzc.
