Most Wanted: GameCube Soundtrack Restoration

---

This mod brings the unique audio profile of the GameCube (NGC) version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted to the PC. Experience the licensed soundtrack music exactly as they were heard on Nintendo hardware, featuring the specific warmer bass response and unique edits characteristic of the GC-ADPCM codec.

Features
Full OST Migration: Includes all licensed tracks extracted directly from the GameCube version.

Authentic Compression: Preserves the original 22050Hz sample rate and DSP-ADPCM audio flavor.

Restored Mashups: Includes the specific GameCube-exclusive music edits and radio edits necessitated by the mini-DVD storage limits.

Technical Details
The GameCube version is famous (or infamous) for its storage constraints, which led to a unique audio profile. While the sample rate is lower than the PC's default, many fans prefer the punchier mid-tones of the GameCube's hardware-decoded audio. This mod is for those who want that specific 2005 console nostalgia.

Installation
Backup your original SOUND folder in the NFS Most Wanted directory.

Extract the provided .mus and .mpf files into [Game Path]\SOUND\PFDATA\.

Launch the game and enjoy.
