Questions & Tutorials / THUG2 CAS Flash Glitch Discussion

« on: September 11, 2016, 09:26:16 am »

If you played THUG2 on PS2 you used to see this a lot. People would have this crazy CAS with parts that flashed all colors of the rainbow. I love this, but seems it's not possible on PC. Has anyone looked into seeing if this is possible in THUG Pro? You need the infinite saturation/value hacks for colors. I still remember how to do it.

I have tried everything I can think of from replacing script files with their PS2 counterparts to importing flashed CAS files from my memory card to hex editing saturation and values manually. I have been able to replicate the effect in PCSX2 so the effect itself is possible to reproduce on the PC platform. The main thread I have on Phun is here with lots of details on what I tried:

General THPS(X) / Re: THUGPRO Crashed My Graphics Driver?

The Windows ACPI driver, Acpi.sys, is an inbox component of the Windows operating system. The responsibilities of Acpi.sys include support for power management and Plug and Play (PnP) device enumeration

That points to a Microsoft issue.

I would chalk it up to Windows 10 and compatibility issues with AMD video cards. Is AMD still refusing to provide drivers for Windows 10? If so you could very well be running on an inferior driver written by Microsoft. Open control panel and find device manager. Right click on the video card and select properties. Click the driver tab. Who is listed as the driver provider? Also, run dxdiag and see what version of DirectX you're using.

Edit: Well there's your answer. Looks like your Radeon R4 card may not be supported by AMD drivers in Windows 10.

AMD Radeon? HD 5000 and AMD Radeon? HD 6000 Series products should fully work in Windows

Here are my setup and test results for THUG2 and THUG Pro running under Wine on Linux. Your results may vary by distro.

Actually now that I think of it I did see the HUD distortion glitch briefly the other day. I believe I was in one of the THUG city levels, it happened while I was online.

Hey Canudo, good to meet you. It seems like he has some lag issues running a glitch park in Windows 10... I'm running it in Linux Mint without problems. Haven't tried the water or glass things yet. He's a cool guy and a reasonably good player. Welcome to the forums!
