Thanks everyone for the kind words and support, I honestly wasn't expecting to even reach 500 views. I still dislike hearing my own voice, lol. Update #1: Japanese PS2 save file now available.
This is always wild. I wonder how long it will be before everything for every ps2 game is found. Seems like every 3-6 months something thats been hidden for "15+ years" gets magically found as of more recent years
@@awhvex7188 I would like to know the contents of every game really, but PS2 isn't super mod friendly and it takes time to research formats and develop tools. I imagine a lot of my favorite games have at least something unused.
@@DescipleOfDJK thats alot of "miniscule" knowledge for one person 🫡 Its crazy that you gave me a response around this time, i have been using dolphin emulator on my phone and have been playing pokemon rumble wii, that game only released with gen 1 and gen 4 pokemon but in 2020 a hard pokemon fan and pokemon rumble player thought that gen 2 and gen 3 pokemon were suppose to be in the game, come to his suprise that with a little bit of fiddling in the code and porting the models over from other games that use similar models gen 2 and gen 3 worked flawlessly and added about 200 extra pokemon to the game aswell as their shiny variants.
The name "Sukehachi" is probably a pun for "Skate". Skateboard = スケートボード Suke(to) = スケー(ト) = Skate Hachi = 八 = 8 Sukehachi = Sk8 = Skate Just my theory
Neat. Since there’s an actual flag to be triggered for the unlock instead of hacking together unfinished data, a simple AR code should be able to flip the flag on the JPS2 version without needing a full mod. The challenge is, of course, *finding* that flag in memory. Reminds me of another THPS thing that’s known to exist but has no clean footage and little documentation: Disney’s Extreme Skate Adventure (essentially a level pack for THPS4 with licensed characters, same engine and all) has some implemented but unused costume part options for the CAS. One otherwise unused part is loaded as a placeholder on the title screen, but texture files indicate a few others.
I'm aware of this game and played it in my youth, TH4 isn't too different from 3 so I may be able to script for it; Even easier since there's an XBOX version.. I'll consider checking it out. As for PS2, I hadn't thought of a memory patch which is kind of funny considering I grew up with an Action Replay disc.. oh well. I'm pretty inexperience in this area, so I'm of no help here but it would be really great if someone made the effort to do this. On the PS2 side of things, I've been comparing the dengeki save to "new" and "slightly uses" saves in gameplay, trying to see if I can piece together a few addresses, as I've experience with writing save editing tools. Never done it for a console game before but maybe it'll happen..
Really happy this popped up in my recommended. No clickbait, thoroughly researched and explained well, and I learned something today about one of my fav games series - THPS
man, that's cool as hell. We're kind of a lucky community that, firstly we know about this, but also so much talent is in here that lets everyone experience it. I'm just a fairly casual THPS fan, but it seems every few months someone invites me to put on a new pair of socks so they can blow them off once again. The story behind this one is cool, I had no idea save discs were a thing

Wow! Amazing! After 20+ years with the THPS franchise and a highly dedicated modding community I thought there was nothing else to find. Guess I was proven wrong, good job man!
This is so cool, thank you for sharing! I'm noticing from your video that THPS3 apparently uses different trick string fonts between the JP PS2 and JP GCN versions. Wonder why that is!
Actually didn't notice until you pointed it out, rather strange. Both of the fonts are bitmap fonts to my knowledge, but perhaps the Gamecube version was the least of their concern considering no videos for the new skaters. Even though I mentioned the disk space, compression was really good back then; Overall lazy.
That's definitely the feeling I got as well, those pre-made skaters take up the created skater slot however, where as sukahachi has a unique slot in the master skater list.
For sure! The original game has some songs replaced in Europe, one of them is "No Time to Waste" by Aim ft. YZ... the other one was something sky by Aqua I think? It's very cool to see, but I would have loved the Japanese pros regardless, and that's why I published the XBOX mod.
This video was amazing to watch, such an interesting discovery! These games were my childhood and seeing hidden content from it being discovered now is an incredible thing.
Theres a lot of unique DLC esque content released through gaming magazine CDs that nobody knows about. I have one that adds a small island to Morrowind on Xbox
Its a game save on a CD like all the others, from an America magazine. Not sure how they pulled off adding a whole island (it is pretty small) but I've seen people theorize they probably used a hex editor, or some kind of deeper save editor, to edit the save file so that there's extra content on the file thats not in the original game
@fgfhjfhjfbhfghf5771 I sold my old Xbox, so I can't check out the old save file right now, but I'll give you some info on the CD. It's from Xbox Magazine November 2003, labeled disc #24. On the back of the box it's just named Morrowind "treasure hunt" in the download center column. From what I remember, the island was super tiny off one of the coasts, in the corner of the map. It had a tomb with some unique enchanted items inside. I don't think the island had a name, but the tomb was probably named something. I also found some more unique enchanted items in the one of the guilds in either Aldruhn or Viviec. The enchantments weren't unique or anything, they were just standard enchanted weapons/armor with unique names. In all honesty, the additions were a little underwhelming, so after seeing the island, I mostly forgot about it and went about the normal game. There could be more stuff added that I didn't bump into though.
algorithm just recommended me this elite channel. i haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere. could you do a video on those ps2 save collections. i never even knew that was a thing you could do
Interesting. I lived here in Osaka half my life and my Jaoan ps2 collection is everything i can dream about i bave this but never knew this. Now it makes me wonder if there is something like this on the Japanese Def Jam Fight for New York because there were exclusive Japanese only characters on there too.
I always find stuff like this neat and my mind wanders to when this was put in the game and the people responsible could have thought it would never be a big deal, just a throw-a-way gag or something and here it is many many years later popping back up. It also gives me thoughts that there's potentially a lot more things in older games that have not been discovered since the method of unlocking this is a bit quirky for lack of a better word and that some of those methods might be lost to time because preservation wasn't at the forefront of video games and is still sorely lacking these days, sadly. ALSO, the save file thing is pretty neat. I grew up in the 90's and never heard of such a thing, there were demo disks, cheat websites (like cheat cc and cheat planet. who can forget printing out pages and writing down codes.) and such but this would have blown my little mind back then.
Nice video. I did a brief research to see if the Japanese community was aware of this character. I could only find a post from 2002 which predates the Dengeki save file. Original text is 日本語化や日本人キャラプラス意外に変化がないと 思ってたら微妙に違ってた。 ２１回クリア後にNeversoft Eyeballってキャラが出たんだけど そこでオリジナルキャラのSUKEHACHIも登場。 サクセスのＴシャツ着てるけどこのキャラは一体…。 The key part of the above being "after 21 times clearing, Neversoft Eyeball and original character SUKEHACHI was unlocked. He's wearing an Access t-shirt, but what is this character". Perhaps the character was hidden in plain sight.
Only the Neversoft eyeball is unlocked. I looked in the unlock scrips, as well as 100% the game legitimately, so I'm not sure about this post. Thanks for telling me the original Dengeki disc, as well!
0:39 No doubt one of only a small handful of non-rpg games where the smaller data storage of the GameCube was actually a problem. Most games were not large enough to require anything more then 1.46GB. However, I have to wonder if perhaps some developers chose to limit their multi-platform games to 1.46GB to avoid the issue of having to choose to either not release a GameCube version, cut a bunch of content to make it fit onto a GameCube disc (which would obviously make for a rather butchered release, although you could try to make up for it somewhat with exclusive content), or split the game up into 2 or more discs. If I'm not mistaken, the PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII was released on a single blu-ray disc, but since the 360 was still using the outdated DVD's it's version of the game required 3 discs. Thankfully, this sort of thing isn't really an issue anymore. X-Box and Playstation both use the same format, and although the Switch uses a very different format, it's game cards go up to 60GB which is a little more then the 50GB a dual layered blu-ray can hold. Not sure if they're making games big enough to need 4K blu-rays yet, but I guess if they are Nintendo would need to make bigger game cards. Switch is on it's last legs anyway though, and I'm sure Switch's successor will have bigger cards.
Would really really love to see a Gamecube Action Replay code for this, I still play everything in my stock 'cube, and would love to have this one in my collection!
You could use something like a Memory Card Pro to transfer the save to a stock cube, Wii is also incredibly quick to softmod. You can use GCMM to copy the save to your card. You're right though, would be very cool.
It's a huge bummer the GC AR scene is only basically ran by Ralf on GC Forever. There's gonna be a day Ralf is gone, and that only knowledge of gamecube hacking'll be dead
0:35 I guess that works. I thought these ending movies were cut from the Japanese GameCube version due to one of the song's lyrics explicitly mentioning the PlayStation 2. It wouldn't sound right if the latter console gets mentioned on non-PS2 ports of the game.
Great, if we can get this guy, then that slightly gives hope to Jamie Thomas and Bucky Lasek in thug 2, as i heard they have models on the disc but there's no way to get them in the game
There's a couple of models from THUG1 in the files of THUG2 that were left over in development. You can do some filename swapping so that they show up over another model, but the bone structure is not the same, so the models are deformed. -- When they were ported to THUGPro and reTHAWED, the bones has to be adjusted to each of those engines.
@2:21 i forgot evolution snowboarding was a thing, i remember evolution skateboarding as a kid. I wonder what the save is for that, or really what kinds of save stuff in general is available. Shame that America never got something like it
I don't think it's anyone specific, someone below had a decent theory as to what the name could mean; It's a detail I wish I had picked up / included in my video, solid theory.
All I know is PS2 games can be LBA hell. Not all games require specific addresses, sizes and checksums, but some do; Not sure about tony hawk. I think, like Dolphin, a PS2 game can be ran as an extracted ELF, so I might look into that. It's enough to make a save file, anyway.
Does the JPN version have Kriptonite by 3 Doors Down in its soundtrack or did you edit that in? I don't remember that song being in the American version
@@DescipleOfDJK hunh, thought something felt wrong. the song just felt.... out of place. Like it wasn't being rendered by the same hardware as the game audio.
Wow very interesting... couldn't you use a trainer like cheat device or action replay or game shark for the ps2 to get him? You can create / add your own codes. Pretty outdated but i wouldn't be surprised if its either possible or has already been done in Japan.
Somebody already mentioned this, and it's a good idea, however I personally have zero experience with memory editing. Someone else will need to take on this challenge, by comparing a new save vs a dengeki save in memory and see exactly what changes. Given nearly everything is complete on the dengeki, it will take much more time.

Congrats on the algorithm blessing you. Seems like you've found your niche! Enjoy creating hidden secrets video essays!
Thank you very much, I appreciate that! 🙏
@2:21 i forgot evolution snowboarding was a thing, i remember evolution skateboarding as a kid. I wonder what the save is for that, or really what kinds of save stuff in general is available. Shame that America never got something like it
That outro caught me off guard lol
Always hard! 💪
Someone needs to send this to Nick Robinson so he can start digging into who the character is based on.
I don't think it's anyone specific, someone below had a decent theory as to what the name could mean; It's a detail I wish I had picked up / included in my video, solid theory.
I thought Nick Robinson was funny at first, but that dude has some problems...
Dam this brings back a lot of memories with my first serious girlfriend, we spent hours on this and were so excited for underground when it came out
I was really excited for THAW, personally. good times.
Finally good quality content
I wish we could get 3+4 🥺
Love this!!
TIL about Save Game Collection Disks.
You played the music, you got balls.

Awesome video' bruh 😊
Mind. Blown.
Great video!
Thanks so much!!
fuckin awesome work! i love these videogame lost medias
There is definitely a way to mod the PlayStation 2 games. There is a bunch of Soul Calibur 3 hacks. None of them would run on OPL though.
All I know is PS2 games can be LBA hell. Not all games require specific addresses, sizes and checksums, but some do; Not sure about tony hawk.
I think, like Dolphin, a PS2 game can be ran as an extracted ELF, so I might look into that. It's enough to make a save file, anyway.
Sukihachi looks kind of like Eric Koston 😂
Cool vid, subscribed
Finally the algorithm recommends me something juicy
Does the JPN version have Kriptonite by 3 Doors Down in its soundtrack or did you edit that in? I don't remember that song being in the American version
Edited in, 5:45 I put a note in the corner. :) Footage didn't have music, all I had on hand lol.
@@DescipleOfDJK hunh, thought something felt wrong. the song just felt.... out of place. Like it wasn't being rendered by the same hardware as the game audio.
@@marhawkman303 It was the only song I had on hand that fit the gameplay, but for sure, it doesn't sound compressed at all.
@@DescipleOfDJKI used to have a custom soundtrack with that song on my Xbox back in the day so it fits for me 😂
I have it on my XBOX as well lol, that's the only reason I had it on hand.
We need these models ripped for THUGpro and reThawed, please🙏

Great video. SO quiet though!
Is it? Sounded pretty loud on my end, sorry about that if so.
Very good video
At 5:30 is that supposed to be Claude from gta3? How random.
That's my create-a-skater at the moment.
@@DescipleOfDJK aaaaye, big fire bro!
5:29 Wait, they had a GTA3 tie in with Claude?
No, that's my create-a-skater.
Rad video :]
Good video
Very epic poggers content dude! Would love to see more from ya :D
5:30 I'm sorry, is this Claude from GTA III???
Yes :) That's my create-a-skater setup, at the moment.
That’s pretty awesome
Dude... Square Eyed Jack gonna HATE you for this video... He's gotta make a whole new review now LMAO
Can someone elaborate on the Library button in the PS2 BIOS?
FreeHDBoot configured to look stock
oh nice!

Wow very interesting... couldn't you use a trainer like cheat device or action replay or game shark for the ps2 to get him? You can create
/ add your own codes. Pretty outdated but i wouldn't be surprised if its either possible or has already been done in Japan.
Somebody already mentioned this, and it's a good idea, however I personally have zero experience with memory editing. Someone else will need to take on this challenge, by comparing a new save vs a dengeki save in memory and see exactly what changes. Given nearly everything is complete on the dengeki, it will take much more time.
