Is it possible to find this untouched release?
Need.For.Speed.Underground.2.NO-CD.V1.2.FRENCH_CRKEXE-FFF
Need.For.Speed.Underground.2.NO-CD.V1.2.FRENCH_CRKEXE-FFF.rar:
seems untouched, FFF did use RAR in that time of their releases.
However, the usual archive comment of FFF releases is:
Code: Select all
Enjoy this fine release from TEAM FFF :

That's not present in this archive, however filedates do check out fine:

Since I only have access to FFF's releases since 2007, I can only compare with a later release. In their 2007 releases I see they use RAR 4, solid. Possibly they started using these archive comments from 2007 and up where this release is from 2006. The files do seem untouched and with a proper date. I can't 100% verify this one, maybe using srrdb I'll get somewhere. If I find more out I'll edit this post. EDIT: P2P doesn't seem to have much metadata archived anywhere
I've compared it to the uploaded version on gamecopyworld, the crc32 of both archives match. Usually gwc uploads the original file! But it's still not 100% verified, I'm sorry.
