You may need to set you off-screen drawing to a higher number say 2 or 3. I think some things are still missing with 2.

[paulsy]

i tried all of the options for off screen drawing

oh and im using a iso file to play the game

[Hydra]

What's up with the top of the shot, the part that isn't the game. Looks like you're using 256 colours, but that can't be possible:D maybe you should try updating to the latest version of pete's opengl.

[paulsy]

no no thas just the softwhere that i took the pic with it saved it as 256 colors and i do have the latest version of petes opengl 1.1.62

The lastest version of Pete's GPU plugins is 1.64. You can get it here (http://home.t-online.de/home/PeteBernert/) .
And below is my configuration for MGS. I play with almost no glitches (except some hardly visible ones anyway):

Try changing your sound plugin to the internal epsxe plugin. That saved most of my MGS problems.

I pretty much get like 54 frames per second, and 24 in Codec Sequences, though it doesn't cause lag, and the sound and facial movements are in tune aswell ^^ No skipping here!
