Download removed: this release is superseded by v1.2.0 - ASPECT RATIO 16:10 and 21:9, FIELD OF VIEW, a widescreen HUD, remembered high-score initials and the save-overwrite fix. Only the newest release keeps its download; see CHANGELOG.md.

Play it like the originals: THPS 1 scoring, THPS 2 PS1 physics, and smooth frame pacing on 120 / 180 / 240 Hz displays.
Full list: CHANGELOG.md.
Download, update and Proton / Wine notes: README.

Highlights

  • Classic career + THPS 1 scoring: the classic career (OPTIONS -> GENERAL OPTIONS -> CAREER MODE: CLASSIC) plays
    the THPS 1 levels first - and from now on they also score like THPS 1: THPS 1 trick values, the THPS 1
    multiplier, no switch bonus, no perfect / sloppy factor, the THPS 1 repeat penalty, and no manuals. A real THPS 1
    challenge inside 2X.
  • SCORE CALCULATION THPS 2 / THPS 1 (GENERAL OPTIONS -> GAMEPLAY): THPS 1 scoring everywhere else too, if you
    want it. Tricks THPS 1 did not have get a value scaled from similar tricks - in doubt the lower one.
  • PHYSICS 2X / ORIGINAL THPS 2 PS1 (GAMEPLAY): 2X lowered the gravity and made the ollie stronger. ORIGINAL
    THPS 2 PS1 brings back the PlayStation values - shorter, snappier jumps (a flat ollie is about 20 % shorter in the
    air). Applies at once.

New

  • FRAME PACING DISPLAY / 60 HZ TIMER (RECOMP OPTIONS -> FRAME RATE): on 120 / 180 / 240 Hz displays the game's
    60 Hz clock follows the display's refresh, so every frame stays on screen equally long - no judder. Other displays
    (60, 144, 165 Hz, VRR) keep the timer. Applies after a restart.

Notes

  • Updating: keep your saves\ folder (see the README).
  • Requirements: a graphics card with Vulkan 1.3 (see the README).
  • Known: Linux via Proton / Wine is best effort.
