-=== Higher Resolutions / Camera Hack ===
-User "Kunaak" has created the [http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?83637-Need-For-Speed-Most-Wanted-Resolution-Changer-and-Camera-Hack Resolution Changer and Camera Hack], which allows users to change the resolution in-game to whatever they wish (including widescreen resolutions). The modification also allows users to enable more camera positions when driving (such as altered field-of-view, or in-car driving). The hack requires version 1.3.
