About the project
A fan project that runs the PC version of Need for Speed: Underground 2 (2004) in the browser: the game's x86 code is statically recompiled to C and compiled to WebAssembly, Direct3D 9 runs on WebGPU and sound on Web Audio. You need your own copy of the game patched to v1.2.
Useful for
- Build the WebAssembly module from your own SPEED2.EXE copy and run the game in Chrome or Firefox
- Deploy the server on a VPS with Docker and HTTPS to play free roam with friends
- Install language packs from mods to play in one of thirteen languages or Brazilian Portuguese

Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-23 (UTC), 00:37–02:44: 117 → 119 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +40 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 119 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #190.
- Hacker News: “Need for Speed Underground 2 ported to WASM” — 6 points, 2 days ago.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
