Hello there!
tl;dr: Ultimate fix for MGS2 PC (Even if it's a kind of beta). Download link at the bottom of the thread. Enjoy it!
I'm a big fan of the MGS saga. I've started from MGS1 and I simply loved it. Probably my favourite PSX game! After that, I've played the second chapter a lot in my youth days. I was maybe too young to understand fully the plot (hell: Even today probably is too convoluted) but I simply loved it. After that, I never played it again. I've re-played all the saga (even the spin-off and Ac!d) LOT of times but I've never put again the Substance DVD in my xbox/pc.
Probably, after all this times, MGS2 Substance for PC is the WORST console conversion ever made. Graphic it's broken, control are broken, don't work lot well on modern system. The pc-setupper is a simply .exe patching, just like a strange trainer that inject settings inside the game. Setup the controller in a good configuration is like to paint the mona lisa blindfolded cause it's impossible to bind all key to the gamepad. Even trigger doesn't work. Vibration doesn't work. Snake look fat like the pig-chainsaw from Dead Rising 2 cause it's stretched on 16:9 monitor. Konami point score is offline. Player need to download cracked exe only to see shadow and water cause .exe need to be patched for every different brand of gpu adapter.
After all this year, this HAS come to an end. Konami is too busy to buy gyms and pachinko (?) to release a good HD edition on pc (and repeat the same things for silent hill saga, that work FLAWLESSLY on HD monitor with amateur patch). Some guy has released a 1080p version of MGS Integral. I made the next step:
Metal Gear Solid 2 V's Fix (Beta)
Features:
- Setupper rebuilded from scratch!
- Automatic 2.0 official patcher! (thank year-2000 Konami!)
- Set up your custom resolution in a matter of seconds
- 16:9 and 16:10 widescreen support (thanks to nemesis2000)
- Audio fix automatically applied (Thanks Creative labs!)
- Automatic fix for every model of vga adapter (Nvidia or ATI or Intel)
- Semi-automatic laptop fix needed (there are some conflicts with internal gpu adapter)
- Xbox360 controller supported, with my personal best config (it's the ONLY capable to do every action tinked by kojima. HF Sword fully supported & gun release without shooting)
- also vibration support (thanks to Xinput Plus libraries)
- Graphic setup, if you have a crappy pc and can't affort to max out a 15 years old game.
- All in 9 MB!
- You don't like it? Review it yourself! It's open Source (after the beta part :p)
It has taken away an unbelivable to understand how work the sadic original setup, graphics incompatiblity and other things.
Here some screenshot!
An important things: this is a kind of beta. Probably it will explode. I count on you to adjust some things. Is something don't work please write it here: it was hard to 'reverse engine' the internal logic of the game and it's fix, so please be patient. Also I've tried only on my pc so...it's a kind of surprise!
An important thing: WIDESCREEN FIX AND INPUT LIBRARY ARE NOT MINE! I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY LICENCE INFO! I'm not reclaiming them done by me in ANY way!
Xinput Plus Team for gamepad extra library
nemesis2000 for widescreen fix
They are done by them, and they was great in was they done! I'm hoping that since this is all done non profit and for the community anyone don't want to explode my *ss. Thanks to all for understanding :p
How it work, in a sintetic way:
0) FOR BETTER RESULT: DO A CLEAN INSTALLATION OF THE GAME! DON'T APPLY ANYTHING AFTER INSTALLING! Isn't 100% important BUT BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!
1) Download it. 2) Overwrite MGS2SSetup.exe inside the "GAME DIRECTORY/BIN" folder 3) Open it!
Very very VERY VERY important things that you have to know!:
-
I've tried it only on the EUROPEAN VERSION of the game. Please let me know if it work on American or Japanese one! (Onestly I dubt that work on the last one, but who knows...)
-
It's a beta. Would you kindly be gentle? :)
-
Laptop mode is required if you play on a laptop that have dual gpu system (Intel + dedicated). Better enable if you are on a laptop (even with a single gpu!)
-
Widescreen Fix (Mantein Aspect Ratio Option) work only on 16:9 or 16:10 resolution. If, like me, you have some "strange" aspect ratio resolution (like 1366x768 on my laptop) stick on 1280x720 or 1920*1080, it would look good anyway. It's a features done by the custom fix made by nemesis2000. Probably together someday we will fix it.
-
TODO: I still have to do a 360 graphical button view. Learn it yourself, for now :D Highlights: Fire button: X button (xbox gamepad) - square (ps3 gamepad). To aim without fire with m16/ak: hold down R1. To take away weapon: hold down left analog stick + release fire button. Sword block: L1. Sword stab: R1.
-
TODO: Keyboard button settings are....assent! I never saw anyone play mgs2 with keyboard (neither me) so I don't think it's a first world problem. But off course I'm working on it (yet slowly...)
-
Since the V's Fix open, delete, create, see, copy, do and redo lot of things it can BE blocked by Windows UAC. Isn't doing any harmful things! My word! (If you note it even the original launcher has the same "problem"). You can be warned for opening "VOX.exe" (that is done by Konami and it's the original 2.0 patch) and "MGS2SSetup.exe" itself. Don't worry and go ahead. If you don't want to be assilled by windows anymore right click the file -> properties -> compatibility -> always open with admin right.
-
.net 4.5 required It's default installed on Win8/8.1 and Win10. On Win7 you need to install it by yourself, but It is likely you have already installed it for some other reason. (NO XP SUPPORTED. Upgrade your damned pc)
-
English is not my primary language. If you find mispell please advice me. I've coded and writed all in hurry, so error can happen easily!
Known Bug
-
With Widescreen Fix can happen strange video bug with VR Mission select. Unfortunatelly I can't fix it (for now). Nothing gamebreaking, in my opinion.
-
With Widescreen Fix, bitmap element will remeain stretched. (It's obliviously, but better say it)
-
On Tanker chapter the marine commandant speaking video isn't visible or has a green screen on it. It's caused by some Dx8 api that don't work good on recent OS. Even original game has it. The only way to fix it is to play on Windows XP without SP2 (cause SP2 I think will upgrade some Dx library and break something). I didn't have found a way to fix it. If someone know how to deal with that please let me know, we will work together!
Any advice? things to add? BUG???? Tell me as soon as you can! Feedback it's important cause I didn't tested the fix on your pc, so if there's any things out of place I want to know it to improve the fix as much as I can. I have a DISCORD SERVER for bug reporting! Very fast and useful! You can contact me HERE or contact me in the way you prefer.
Security issues:
Releasing V's fix in this way is against my common sense: download a software from an unknow source and run it flawlessly.
I'm releasing source code as soon as I can.
For any question...I'm here for that :p
Have fun!
