I just got NFS: Porsche Unleashed and as mentioned on this forum there are some graphical issues with the menu on my Quadro FX3000 (essentially a Geforce FX5900).

Anyway to make a long story short the easy solution I found was to in stall the 1.0.6 r27 "modern patch" and use Glide3x as the renderer. I already had nglide 1.05 installed for other misc. glide games.

I took some amateur video with my phone to show the menus looking proper with this setup along with a few seconds of gameplay. Hopefully this is helpful and yes I realize my screen is filthy.

This is quite interesting. In addition, to fix the NV3x menu issue, you can also install an earlier version of the driver (ForceWare 56.64 or lower). In this case, the game works as intended (without requiring any workarounds). Furthermore, there is an alternative "DX7Z.DLL" that also resolves this issue with later drivers. In addition, you can use a third-party "DX7Z.DLL" that uses OpenGL instead of Direct3D, which also solves the problem (and even improves performance slightly). Each method has its own advantages. It is worth considering them all together and choosing the most optimal one. The more solutions, the better, thank you!
