Metal Gear Solid

[Gk1986]

What's the best configuration for Metal Gear Solid?

[Alienist]

Huh... an original PSX? I guess that depend on your system. Post your specs.

[Gk1986]

here it is:
Pentium 4 1.5Ghz
Geforce2 GTS Pro 64MB DDR
256MB DDR Memory
32MB NVIDIA GeForce2 MX With TV Out
Sound Blaster Live Value.
harman/kardon speakers.

I'll get the other specs later.

Oh my Gosh,
Gk posting outside offtopic.Must be a dream.:eyes:

Ok anyway.I think you didnt needed to post that question about mgs.Already been discussed a lot.

Ok try searching for what xeven told you.Here is some hint.Use eternal spu 1.1,pete's gpu plugin ,turn on pc fps under special game fixes and turn off mdecs(they crash the game).

Be sure MDECs are off and FPS calc are on like prafull said... for some reason MGS runs at 30 FPS and not 60, or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Anyhoo, there ya go.

[fivefeet8]

MGS runs at 30 fps when you enable PC frame calc because the game runs at 30 fps on a real psx.. NOt many games on the psx runs at 60fps... Most games run at 30 fps... Even if it says 60 fps in epsxe in other games, that is not what the actual fps is..

[ToM_E]

I have no idea because mine is very slow. :P

[Prafull]

I am getting about 50 fps with this quality on my slow pc.Is it ok?

I finally got my hands on mgs pc demo about an hour ago at my friends place and its really a crap in comparison to epsxe though it was running on much higher specs and much better video card.

*No one replied to my question in above post about quality of graphics in that pic*

weird...am I the only one who doesnt have problems with the pc port? I thought it ran pretty well.....

the quality in that pic looks good to me.
I'll reinstall my mgs pc and see if it really runs that crappy, but from what I remember it was decent.
Maybe the demo just sucks?

the pc version is missing the blur effect though, but I can live with that.

Ya, may have to do something with the blur effect.The game was running with decent graphics but it just didnt have that special epsxe touch.
Neway after completing the game on fpse,epsxe and cvgs playing the pc demo looked like piece of cake,just too short and just too easy.
