There is a fan patch for the PC version of Metal Gear Solid 2

Otacon thinks my resolution is hilarious.

I’ve been experimenting with an all in one patch for the PC version of MGS2 that I stumbled upon whilst browsing the Steam forums. This was an oddly timed find as I was considering getting my hands on the HD collection for the PS3 version and play it that way. But after experimenting with this fan patch it has been smooth sailing. I can play it at any resolution I want, I can choose between an XBox Layout or a PS2 one. I can’t seem to get the game to run through Steam properly, making it more of an annoyance to try running it with the Steam Controller. Not too big of an issue, after all I have plenty of other controllers to subject it to. For the test I used my old reliable standby: The Logitech G510. It performed quite nicely using the PS2 layout (the G510 is basically a hybrid of the XBox and Dualshock controllers). Got rumble support and everything. I’ll have to install it on the HTPC for a nice big screen experience. Now if I could find a patch for the MGS1 PC version, it wouldn’t need much other than the ability to run it in resolutions above 1024×768 and not corrupted cutscenes. I do have the PS1 version, so it’s not too big of a deal though. :melon:

Sadly OBS doesn’t let me record or stream MGS2 unless I have it record the entire desktop. Fortunately I have my laptop setup to do remote capture over the network, gotta love plugins. :v: I figure if I’m playing MGSV, MGS4 and MGR I should go as whole hog as I can. After all I can definitely see MGS2 being worthy of recording. :trollface: I could hear the gears inside my head turning, they were metal… or was that mental? :melon:
