Uncensored & Restored Soundtrack
Description
Current version: 1.01
Release date: April 6th, 2022
Hello there. Thanks for downloading my mod!
With this mod, every single song in the game will be their full, unedited and/or uncensored versions. It always bothered me how some of them get cut off so suddenly, especially the rap and hip-hop ones. As a bonus, some of them are straight from the newly remastered releases, such as Rise Against and The Bronx. All songs were sourced from 320kbps .mp3 files for max quality.
Changelog
- 1.00: First release
- 1.01: Hotfix for "Cirrus - Back On A Mission" where it had nearly 3 minutes of silence after the song ended.
Installation
- Download the .7z archive and extract it into your game's directory. If you can't open .7z archives, simply download the program, it's free.
- You'll see 2 folders, pfdata and speech. Again make sure they are in the root of the game's install folder.
- Now, rename or move your SDATA folder somewhere else.
That's it. Now go check in-game, you'll notice Riders On The Storm will take a bit longer to start but that's just how the official remastered version Snoop Dogg's compilation album has it.
Please report any issues regarding volume, perhaps crackling, or songs that don't skip. Personally I do have some minor crackling in Capone - I Need Speed but only when using my speakers (I'm on a 32" TV) but the crackling is gone once I use my headphones. If you also find the same issue, again, please report.

UPDATE: Nevermind, just fixed it. Let me explain: I've used a hex editor and edited the first 8 bytes in the file sdata.viv like this: 42 49 47 46 E8 AE 02 40then i used to bigGUI to replace the original files with the edited files from 2 folders: pfdata and speech. I deleted the original ones and imported the new ones (don't worry, i've made a backup of SDATA.viv) and it worked perfectly. Sorry for bothering you!

Hey, just need some help here. Yesterday, i've updated my own computer (I mean Windows 11), so after i turned on the computer and run the game, i've noticed that, this mod stopped working. I don't know why, but yesterday, it worked without any problem, but today it stopped working and now all i can hear is the censored soundtrack. No matter how i tried to fix it, i can't hear the uncensored soundtrack, especially the extended "Riders On The Storm". Please let me know, how to fix it. Thank you.

Have you considered making this kind of mod for Underground 1 as well? I know there is a mod to import songs into the game; I tried importing full versions of the original songs but the game doesn't want to play them/goes silent music-wise. I guess there are specific requirements for the songs to be actually played by the game.

As for the intro with ROTS, I'll just replace it myself and try and sync the intro with the game version via Audacity. :D
