Instrucciones: Descarga el archivo, allí va a haber un link a Google Drive, descargarlo, extraerlo y remplaza los archivos en la carpeta de "MOVIES" en la carpeta de instalación de NFSU2.
El resto de este post es una explicación en ingles para quien le pueda servir la info de como cambiar los audios de los videos para otros idiomas.

Spanish version of the mod from Madevi, who ported the Xbox videos to PC, i extracted the Spanish audio from the PC videos and replaced it.
Instructions: Download the link, there is a Google Drive link in there with the file, download and extract it, replace the files in "MOVIES" in the NFSU2 install folder.
The rest of the post is an explanation of the process of changing the audio of the files for anyone that may need the info for their own respective languages.

Some notes:
-The audio in the Spanish version is not great, but i don’t know if there are better Spanish audio versions to use, in case that anyone wants to check, in the download there is a link to the PS2 videos as that is the only other version i know that is in Spanish but cant tell which one is higher quality.
The "DragTut.vp6" audio is slightly longer in Spanish for some reason, so i had to make a small edit in the audio so it doesn’t just cut out at the end.
This is something i tried and failed in the past and so i will put on writing the process of just replacing the audio from the videos without re-encoding, but im not good at explaining things so hopefully it helps.
You need the VP6 Starter Pack, in particular "EA VP6 Encoder", "EA_Conv_06i" and "VirtualDub-1.6.5", i also had "On2 VP6 Codec" installed but not sure if it was needed.
You first need to convert the vp6 to avi, you can do this by just moving the files over to "eaconv.exe", just drop it on top and it will run in a CMD window.
Then you need to extract the audio, for this you need SoundeXchange, use it to extract the audio from every .avi then throw the .dat files created at "eaconv" to get a .wav (Note: When i did this mod, i used the "SoundeXchangeGUI" from "VP6Pack", but now that im cleaning this guide with links and stuff, i cant find it, so im linking directly to a forum with the program if this is not allowed i will include a download or upload it as a mod)
Check that the duration of the audios from the English ported videos coincide with your selected audios before beginning the next step, in my case one audio was longer.
In VirtualDub open a file, then go to video and select "Direct stream copy" this will just copy the video without re-enconding it, then go to "Audio" and select "WAV Audio..." and choose the corresponding new audio you will use and then save as .avi
Now in "EA VP6 Encoder" open it, select the .avi file you just made and convert it to .vp6.
"EA VP6 Encoder" is a little temperamental, so I did one and close it and open it again.
Curiosity: There are other programs and versions that do technically valid .vp6 files that NFSU2 accepts but they crash the internal video player of the game but weirdly not the game nor the audio are affected.
Thanks to Madevi for porting the Xbox videos, hope everything is alright with this upload, if for any reason the link is down sent me a msj, hopefully i will see it eventually and if not, share a link in the comments with the files.
Better late than never for the clean up of this description, well as much as i can, but i think is a lot clearer now, a shit ton of stuff happened in my life including some life changing decisions that are super stressing me out a this moment because society, i want to take the opportunity to link to the other languages that have appeared since the mod publication just because:
The original version in English By Madevi
Turkish By SWAPNIL
French By Elggringot
V2 dosent have file changes, is just an updated description and new links to the files.
Thanks everyone!!

Estuve viendo los videos de la version de PS2, despues de descubrir como extraer los videos de esa version, chekee los audios en audacity, no son identicos pero la calidad tampoco parece ser tan distinta, hice una inversion y mezcla para ver si eran identicos y aunque el resultado no fue silencio, el resultado fue minimo por lo que lo voy a dejar con los audios de pc, pero si alguien que sepa mas de audio lo quiere chekear les dejo el link a los archivos de ps2
