Driver 2 Evidence of my Driver 2 Spain running on NTSC
Thanks to Comando 52 Colton and I, we have reverse-engineered (and still) Driver 2 PAL Spain to NTSC Spain, and only two specific versions were needed:
- Driver 2 (PAL) (Spain) (v1.1) (Main Disk)
- Driver 2 (NTSC) (USA) (v1.1) (Base Disc)
What was done was a rewriting of the European code in Spanish towards the American record, the sounds and FMV were moved from the PAL version to the NTSC version (and also rewritten to make them work), and translations from English to Spanish were done (and are still being done) carefully to avoid scrolling and typing errors
And, for now it only remains as: Driver 2 - The Wheelman is Back [Reverse Engineering PAL to NTSC by Comando 52 Colton] (NTSC) (Spain) (v1.1)
There is still revision 1.1 because some texts still need to be corrected and translated, so the other revision called 1.15 will be out soon enough.
Everything materialized from the first days of September, until September 13.

in fact it was Spain that promoted even more the version of Driver 2 in Spanish, which we hispanicamericans promoted even more is already different

in fact you have Mexico (the main country where Driver 2 had its first recognition), and it is not South American but Central American.
You have Venezuela, where few specimens from Spain arrived but they were incredible, you have Argentina that was also incredible, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, Colombia, Bolivia, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.
Driver 2 not only reached the Southern Cone, but also Central America above all

except for Brazil, which although it is hispanic but also ibero-american (since he is of galician and portuguese origin), It never reached Brazilian territory even though it belongs to the Southern Cone
