GvrRoot/UniverShell2.exe- Add Need for Speed Underground in Systems and choose Set up.
- Select both original game discs and a writable destination, or choose an existing prepared installation. Let Arcade IO prepare the support files.
- Connect your original security dongle with its compatible driver already installed. Configure your wheel, pedals and buttons in Controls.

BEFORE YOU LAUNCH
Original security hardware
Requires the original Underground security dongle and a compatible original driver. Arcade IO does not install drivers or alter Windows system files.
Use your own original game files and the required security hardware. Arcade IO does not include the game or a replacement security key.
YOUR PROGRESS
Player cards & online support
Virtual reader & cards
Enable the reader before launch, then use Player cards to create, insert and eject saved virtual cards. Underground has its own card library. Career progress can be saved to the card; the app's card-selection PIN is separate from the game's account and cabinet-registration numbers.
Hosted registration & sync
Hosted online registration and career synchronisation are supported with an eligible online licence. Support files and service routing are prepared automatically. Find the four-digit cabinet registration PIN in the game's Arcade IO settings and enter it in the original game's Operator registration flow. This is not LAN multiplayer.
THE CABINET EXPERIENCE
Controls, force feedback & lamps
Choose your connected board or local controls in Arcade IO, then use this game's Controls and output settings to match your cabinet.
| Controls | Cabinet inputs Wheel, accelerator, brake, View, Look back, Music, NOS, handbrake, Start, coin inputs and up to six gear inputs. |
|---|---|
| Force feedback | Supported Original steering feedback is routed to your configured wheel. Check direction and strength in the game's steering test. The original Start + NOS calibration option can continue without steering feedback. |
| Lamps & lighting | Start, Leader & brake Start, Leader and brake outputs follow the game. View and NOS panel lights have separate steady illumination. Physical button labels can vary by cabinet, so check the lamp mapping. |
Force feedback needs a compatible feedback device. Physical lighting needs a connected board with the appropriate outputs. Use the original game's test menu to check your mapping.
