Capturing the ambience of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3

Marking the peak of this series’s “classic” era, THPS3′s outstanding game design minted many iconic levels from mundane settings. THPS3 was released on several different platforms; this guide will consider the Windows, Gamecube, PS1, and PS2 versions for creating ideal audiovisual captures.

Capturing footage

On PC, you can press Ollie + Change Camera at the same time to toggle free-camera mode. I recommend bringing your skater to a complete stop on flat ground before triggering this. Once activated:

Shift + arrow keys to rotate

Ctrl + arrow keys to pan

Console versions have freecam as well, but it’s activated differently. On the loading screen, press and hold Start once the rotating eyeball stops for the third time. If successful:

Left and right analog sticks to pan and rotate

R1/R2 moves camera up/down

The final option I’ll mention is Dolphin emulator, which offers freecam control for any Gamecube  game. Presumably, this could be combined with a Dolphin custom texture mod to hide HUD elements.

If this is all too tricky, the unlockable first-person cheat in THPS3 is a decent tool for capturing screenshots.

I recommend using the PC version due to the availability of widescreen patches. This particular patch also offers easy HUD removal. However, beware of certain broken effects on PC, like the Demoness’s flames or certain animated textures (for example the cycling lights on Roswell rails).

Other notable PC mods for capturing footage

LevelMod offers additional HUD options and graphical fixes for the PC version. There’s also PARTYMOD for aspect ratio fixes. If you’d rather, you can hide the HUD by building a transparent version via FNT Tool.

Extracting audio

For whatever reason (perhaps CD-ROM space constraints) the PC version only includes positional sound effects - it lacks the stereo ambient streams found on consoles. We’ll need to extract those - but from which version?

Let’s eliminate Xbox and PS1 as their streams are of lower quality compared to GC/PS2. Quality-wise, GC and PS2 streams are seemingly tied at 438kbps/48000hz.

Gamecube’s DTK files are easy to find (use Dolphin’s ROM explorer) and convert (use vgmstream). However, GC lacks ambient assets for THPS3′s unlockable levels.

To extract PS2 streams, you can scan for Sony ADPCM streams inside the game ROM with vgmtoolbox. From there, you can run VGMStream’s converter with the following TXTH:

codec = PSX interleave = 0x18000 channels = 2 sample_rate = 48000 num_samples = data_size

Burnside issues

There are some odd audio bugs in the PS2 version - there's some duplicated data in the Burnside track around 2:25. Also, a gap towards the end of Foundry.

As mentioned above, Burnside doesn’t have a stream on GC, and Xbox offers one of poor quality. We can do some careful editing of the PS2 stream in Audacity to fix the duplicated chunk.

Skater Island

For this level, PS2 reuses the Skate Street / Tampa ambience from previous THPS games. GC and Xbox, meanwhile, include a new beach soundscape.

Putting it all together

Splice your captured footage with your converted GC/PS2 streams and positional sound effects (if applicable) for a result with the best possible graphics and sound.

The last time I went to the Ren Faire, I ran into not only my good friend @toastweasel but the members of MD’s premier trans punk band Chaz Monroe, and they said here we’ll show you where to sit at the joust to root for the hottest guy. And he actually was the hottest man on that field. I was like you guys get me
