Extreme-G 2 is a 1998 futuristic racing video game developed by Probe Entertainment and published by Acclaim Entertainment, and the sequel to Extreme-G. The game is expanded on its predecessor by many ways; however, while being converted from the original N64 version for the PC, it loses some of its features like the multiplayer support.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Download the archive from the files available from the PC Gaming Wiki Community Files (search there)
- Open the folder with the aspect ratio you wish to use, then copy xg2pc.exe to the game installation folder and replace the existing file.
- Right click the game shortcut (or create a new one) and set the resolution with -w and -h parameters (example "-d0 -w1920 -1080").
+ Use dgVoodoo 2 to enable higher resolutions and fix rendering errors (in DirectX tab set video card to ATI Radeon 8500).

NOTE: The executables in the attachment are based on the retail US version which was hex edited to prevent crashing on Windows XP and later (removed OutputDebugString calls).
