You can navigate the game's menus without using the mouse. Use the arrow keys or gamepad to select menu options, and press the Jump button to accept or the Grind button to go back. Any additional buttons that appear at the bottom of the screen (such as "Rotate" in the character selection screen) can be accessed using the Flip and Grab buttons.

Many cheat code websites state that you must enter cheats while holding Num7 while the game is paused. If you do not have a numeric keypad, you can instead use any key or gamepad button that is mapped to Fast Spin Left.

In addition, running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode may help.
 
 
== Save file location ==
 
 
 
Save files are stored in the install directory. On some versions of Windows you may need to click the "Compatibility Files" button in Windows Explorer.
 
 
 
<pre>C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspyr\Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2\Save\</pre>
 
 
 
Graphics and control settings are stored in TH2_OPT.CFG, along with install path information.
 
 
 
Career files have .SAV extensions. In addition to career mode data, each career file contains its own high score list and up to three custom skaters.
 
 
 
Custom parks have .PRK extensions.
