This isn't one of the usual beta builds found on the hiddenpalace, I got this build off of some neversoft forum site back around the time I was in college (around 2011) and there are parts of the level that are just wrong or completely missing.

Title. Can't get into THUG 2 remix because you can't spin with the shoulder buttons. Seems to be the same issue with THAW. For some reason this control option is not available for them. Does anyone know any version I can emulate on a PSP that would work with this control option available?

I was stuck at the beginning of THP8 (the Shag Dad's Balls mission) for months because of the R2 trigger, and when I researched it, it seemed to be a common problem on PS3s after the 2.41 update (if I'm not mistaken, it's this one). But I found a way to fix it; I didn't see anyone talking about the fix online, so I decided to share it here. Basically, I connected my DualShock 4 and set it as controller #1, then I entered the game and connected the DualShock 3, which automatically became controller #2, So I held down the PS button until that mini settings menu appeared, then I configured the DualShock 3 as controller #1 and the L2 and R2 buttons started working completely normally. If that doesn't work, you can also connect the DualShock 4 as controller #1 and the DualShock 3 as controller #2, then after entering the game, turn off both controllers and then turn on the DualShock 3, It also worked as an alternative when the first method didn't work.

PS: I used a Dualshock 4 as a support to help with the fix, but I imagine another Dualshock 3 would work as well. So for the fix you need 1 Dualshock 4 and 1 Dualshock 3, Or just 2 Dualshock 3s.
