THUG2 Vita v1.0.0 by iwannagooutside
Last Release: Nov 9, 2026
Downloads: 9

A native PS Vita port of Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (2004), originally developed by Neversoft and published by Activision. It uses the same engine as THUG Vita (based on kisak-thug), rebuilt for the Vita's ARM processor with a graphics backend written on top of vitaGL, and extended to run the Xbox version of THUG2. Story mode (World Destruction Tour) and Classic mode can be played to the end, along with Free Skate and every create mode (Create-a-Skater, Create-a-Park, Create-a-Goal, Create-a-Trick, Create-a-Graphic). Most views run at or near 60 fps, FMV videos are played, and the HUD uses the THUG Pro HD assets. Online play is not available. No game data is included: the port reads the data files of the Xbox release.

Tony Hawk's Underground 2, running natively on the PS Vita. Not emulated,
rebuilt: the game engine is recompiled for the Vita, with a renderer written
on top of vitaGL.

**What's in**
- Story mode, Classic mode and Free Skate, with cutscenes, music, voices and
the game's videos.
- Create-a-Skater, Create-a-Park, Create-a-Goal, Create-a-Trick, Create-a-Graphic.
- 960x544, 60 fps in most views; 30 fps cap in Vita Options.
- Controls reworked for the Vita, plus a Vita Options menu
(Options > Control Setup > Vita Options) and a DualShock layout for PS TV.
- HD HUD by the THUG Pro team.

**Installing**
1. You need the **Xbox** version of THUG2, from your own disc, and
`libshacccg.suprx` in `ur0:data/` (run ShaRKF00D once if you've never done it).
2. Copy the game's `data` folder to `ux0:data/thug2/Data/` (you should have
`ux0:data/thug2/Data/scripts/qdir.txt`). `tools/prepare_thug2_data.py`
checks the files and copies only what's needed (2.6 GB, or 1.6 GB without
the videos).
3. Install `thug2_vita.vpk` with VitaShell.

Full guide, controls and troubleshooting in the README.

**Known issues**
- Very far views (New Orleans) can drop to around 40 fps.
- Buttslaps can trigger on their own after a late ollie (same as on Xbox).
- If one of the game's videos misbehaves, skip it with START or ✕ and open an issue.
