Tony Hawk 1 & 2 - Incorrect character shadows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1: Load Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 v1.001 (2000)(Activision)(NTSC)(US)[!]
2: Start a Freeskate with Tony Hawk, and skate down to the floor below.

There are a series of ovals that make up the character shadows, there's also a 
large perimeter shadow of maybe 20 foot diameter (in game measurement) that 
surrounds a character as he or she moves. My guess would be that this shadow is 
meant to be crunched down to conform to those ovals. Other than this, these 
games are emulated flawlessly.

As mentioned, this error is identical in Tony Hawk 1

I use version: 1.0.4 r50

I use nullDC_Win32_Release-NoTrace.exe

I use the following plugins:

PowerVR Plugin: 6/20/10
GDRom Plugin: 6/20/10
AICA Plugin: 6/20/10
ARM7 Plugin: 6/20/10
Maple Plugin(s): 6/20/10
Ext.Device Plugin: 6/20/10

Power VR settings:
Palleted textures: versioned
Sort: Off (though no other choices fix it)
Modifier Volumes: Normal and clip (though no other choices fix it)
Z buffer: D24FS8 (though no other choices fix it)

On what kind of system?

My system specifications are as follows:

Operating System: Windows 7 x64
CPU: Intel Core i7, Q 720 @ 1.60ghz
Video Card: nVidia GeForce GTS 360M
Sound Card: Built-in "High Definition Audio Device"

Please provide any additional information below:
Please see the attached screenshots.

hah, yeah man. I figured I could not have been the first one to notice it, but 
at least there's a record of it here. I'll start taking a look at some more 
obscure titles, bug hunting.

drkIIRaziel, is this big in Virtua Tennis the same sort of thing? The far 
player has a shadow, the near player does not (you occasionally see some shadow 
polygons pop up through the tennis court.)

'Put sort:off ,that fixes the shadow problem'

For Tony Hawk 2, Virtua Tennis or both?

it does fix that particular part of the game, however, Sort: Off breaks some of 
the World Circuit menus, I can provide some video of that if need be. It does 
not seem to fix Tony Hawk. But thanks for the tip, gameplay looks great now.
