If you run NFS2 on a multicore/multicpu system you will find that NFS2 will crash, either on the menu or after clicking Race. To work around this, you need to limit Wine to run on 1 core only, you can do this using schedtool....
Yeah, that's exactly what's this bug about. NFS2/NFS2:SE is unstable under Wine on SMP machine while it should be stable. Chances are that this bug is app-specific and not Wine specific (in that case it should be CLOSED NOTABUG), I would try to test it on my dual-core AMD C-50 laptop running Windows 7 Starter. I'm not sure if the game would run on such a modern version of Windows but why not to give it a try? :-)
