Please let me know if this works. I only tested it in Wine and can only semi-test on the Windows XP box as VirtualBox isn't that great yet at old 3D (this game uses DX7 and 16-bit).

Great job, works just fine.
actually this is the same as thps3 "protection", but there you just need 1 jmp to bypass the check.
so it's even more advanced, hehe

Now if only we could get it to run stably at high resolution. Is it possible to do this?

[Demo]

do you mean to change menu resolution?

[MrCarter]

do you mean to change menu resolution?

Yes. For me in Wine the maximum resolution is 1024x768

[Demo]

well, it is the max that it allows to draw.
i thought you meant to stretch the menu, so it doesn't jump to top-left corner in Wine.

don't think anyone ever tried to patch it for higher resolutions.

Not quite the right thread for this. But that is still pretty freaking sweet.

Password doesn't work for me, can anyone re-upload this without a password?

Thanks in advance

I found two mildly amusing videos:

26th april means it is a cut down version of known ntsc beta.
and might be a demo like pizza hut?
somehow it features final logo style already, but lacks special bar.
don't think there is anything interesting, yet we may probably contact him to be sure?

any ideas about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (beta - unreleased levels) mentioned here?

This is kind of off topic, but it's relevant enough that I thought it'd be worth posting. MTX Mototrax was originally going to be called Travis Pastrana's Pro MotoX, and featured a yellow logo similar to the THPS4 logo. There isn't much documentation about this on the internet, but I managed to find this low quality promotional video for the game. I only know about this because I remember seeing this video somewhere about 12 years ago. I think it was at a Gamestop.

I also found this article on the announcement of the game.

this explains why MotoX level was in THPS4.

Wakeboarding Unleashed Featuring Shaun Murray was also originally going to be a THPS spin-off. It's working title was Shaun Murray's Pro Wakeboarder. Here's a picture of the game case.

There was also going to be a Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder 2, but it was cancelled. It was going to have a red logo similar to the THPS4 logo. Here's a link to a promotional video for the game.

I have a theory that Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 1 was originally only developed by Runecraft and the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 demo version of it (of which Shaba Games was not mentioned whatsoever in the demo) might have been a near-final build of the game and then someone from Activision (or Mat, or someone else for all we know) said it was not that polished and need more work and sent the game to Shaba Games to change/fix the game's physics, redo certain portions of the game (like changing the level design), and to further polish up the game. And because of that they delayed the "November 2000" release date to a early 2001 release.

Basically what we have that was released was basically the Shaba Games version of Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX and the Demo in TH2 might have been a demo of original Runecraft version of the game that was scrapped and later partially redone by Shaba.

...but who knows.


On somewhat unrelated note, here is set of "pre-Shaba" screenshots of the game that I found of off various sites:
