If you try to emulate something with poor performance you can often come back in a year or 2 and it's excellent. Hats off to the work of these great communities.

Ita been playable for years
truly amazing, like old games getting re realeased for the og resistance !
Still waiting. On guns of the patriots been dying to play it on my pc for years now
@@bmoney9573 a recent powerful CPU is needed for that. I did played it just fine in 4k60 a few years ago already.
Hello, The 3DS version had support for the Circle Pad Pro, in fact a patched rom was available to trick the game into think the Circle pad pro is connected, so you could map and use the right stick normally. Unnecessary to say, it gets MUCH BETTER that way.
Do you remember the website you used for the rom? I cannot get it to work on Hshop
@@trevanseybold9115 Found on a, now deleted, reddit post long ago. As far as I know, Citra no longer need patches to emulate the Circle pad pro. Couple of years ago I heard of people making a save on the 3ds with the CPP attached and importing the save to Citra, making it work. Never tried myself.
EDIT: It seems to be true. It's available on GameBanana! Check it out!
@@Edzward seems like there’s a lot of steps, I’ve tried so many times on multiple websites but I think the file is just not working with my laptop for some reason, emulating can be a pain somehow
@trevanseybold9115 theres a video out there of the 3ds port running on citra. it has a 60 fps cheat, as well as hd texture packs from the hd ports dumped. theres also save files from the 2 minute mark of the game already saved so you can bypass the infamous crash when you enable the circle pad pro function from the start.
honestly they should have ported the OG non-Subsistence top-down view version to 3DS
These faceless and nameless people that make these emulators are truly heroes. And theyre free?! Insane
faceless and nameless? that sounds like projection these are well known people
@@lilpullout not to regular people
Played it on RPCS3 a year ago and it was a lot of fun. Though it was extremely laggy during the last hour or so.
Played it on pcsx2 last year, and it was smooth almost the whole way through, also completed mgs2 before that
Was the gameplay laggy, or the frame rate?
@@SeanCMonahan Both, game stutters and low frame-rate, but really only during the final act.
@@SeanCMonahan The frame-rate drops and the game slows down in the last part of the game. Everything before that works great. It's bad, but tolerable if you're only playing the game once like this.
The PS3 HD port had some lags on fights for what i remember, kinda weird you played it on RPCS3 instead of PCSX2, game runs practicaly flawless on it.
Xenia's my personally-preferred way to play on PC since you don't need to worry about the pressure-sensitive buttons. It is pretty resource-intensive though especially if you want to increase the resolution. You'll want to make sure to keep vsync on and keep the game at a resolution your system can handle to mitigate the audio latency issues.
I agree.
u dont really need the sensitive pressure on rpcs3, it will work like the xenia version if u dont use a PS3 controller, and has better overall performance on rpcs3 there's no real reason to preferr xenia
@@4324swer Using guns and CQC without pressure sensitive buttons is a huge pain in the ass without a convoluted special controller config.
@@chemergency cant you just map the fire button to the analog trigger? seems like it would work fine
Are PS3 gamepads pressure-sensitive too? I have two. Can play it either in PS3 natively (have a slim) or I guess emulate the PS2 version but I try to stay away from PS2 emulator because of horrible blur and de-scanline artifacts PCSX2 still keeps having... my main gripe is SoulCalibur3 being broken when emulated.
I played the game on pcsx2 about 6 years ago. It was absolutely fine with some rare minor graphical glitches and rare framedrops here and there. Considering I had a PC back then, the right technical term for which is a potato, I think it's the best option for people with older configs or playing on devices like steam deck
Deck has been known to emulate ps3 games so it may still be doable to use that one.
PCSX2 also has very good upscaling options as well as dedicated widescreen patches etc. Its the best way to experience this game. Especially since PCSX2 upscaled textures play better than native PS3 port anyways
yess bro, my experience with the 3ds version of Majora's Mask, after a few years it was runnin beautifully on citra
@Jay Dee Right. In case you didn't know, the game is ~20 years old. If you are looking for news you came to the wrong place, my man. Just saying. lol
I have an iris xe integrated gpu. i dont have any dedicated gpu. so i got 1-2 fps in RDR in rpcs3. But i heard that ps3 is very hard to emulate. so i guess i can get good fps in MGS 3.
Something worth noting is for audio desync on Xenia, some have mentioned that changing the max_queued_frames to 8 under [APU] in the config fixed their audio problems, I tested this myself and it happened only once to me after that. Someone else has mentioned that capping your FPS at 60 in your GPU driver also works, haven't tested it myself but with both solutions combined this might solve the issue entirely.
that sounds to me that xenia is the best way to play, considering theres no pressure sensitive controls there
@@MilkJugA_ I agree, but at the end of the day I think performance is most important so the best way to play depends on your own PC’s specs. Soon come Autumn though there will be an actual official version to play that will surely be the best way to play. And then after that there will be the remake, which I am optimistically cautious on it being good but it could turn out to be the best version.
Im a 42yo Construction worker and i can say proudly that mgs3 has a place in my Heart! :D
That's awesome man
Damn you guys saw the new trailer??
@@overdrive112 the one from the playstation showcase or is there a new one?!
@@Kero_81 nah i meant the showcase!
@@overdrive112 yes i saw the trailer. I have to say im not hyped and a bit disapointed. There wasnt a single kerotan for example. The only mgs3 related things were the green parrot and snake himself. Im sure you saw the fanmade trailer?! That was a trailer that get me hyped if it was from konami. I HOPE they do a good Job. They just have to! Otherwise we still can emulate it 😅
Having played this game on every console (and 100%ed on at least one of them), I can say with confidence that a 60 fps patch for the 3DS version would be the superior way to play the game.
I can't remember how I did it back in the day, but you can set up the controls to read the circle pad pro from the new 3DS in Citra. That completely fixed the second analog issue.
You can play it with MGS4 style controls, aiming while walking, crouching, and switching camera angles like Gears of War, hell you can play the whole thing in first person mode if you want to.
Oh yeah, and the modding community surely will have made new textures by now if that's something you want. But there's still some work to be done before the game is 100% stable. I look forward to that day.
The 3DS version is a fun novelty with much better controls, though the ability to crouchwalk practically breaks the game balance and makes a lot of stealth sections trivial.
@@chemergency I heard similar arguments to the Twin Snakes, but I always respond to them the same way; its an extra feature you can avoid using altogether if you don't want to experience the game with it.
Also, I believe the game asked you what's your favorite MGS game and made you choose between 3, 4, and Peace Walker, so my guess is choosing 3 could potentially turn it off anyways, but even if it doesn't, you could always just ignore it.
Last time I tried Citra, it lagged on MGS3 really hard, have aging PC with Haswell gen. Xeon E3-1231, equivalent of i7 4770 and 1060 3Gb, I get choppy frames on it. PS2/3 version being smoother just strains eyes less. Unless it's something I can change in config but whatever I tried, Snake Eater Citra version was slow. SO I'd rather play on console, used PS2 and 3s are dirt cheap, you can get one for like 100-150 bucks. WAY cheaper than hardware for emulating.
@@KasumiRINA cpu is rlly bad
The 3ds version could be played on a steam deck with citra and the nreal glasses. Would support the 3d effect.
In Citra you can push a key to switch between screen layout, you can have the game full screen and just switch when you need to
Great video :)
For anyone wanting to play on PCSX2 with a non-pressure sensitive controller, go to:
> Controller Settings
> (your controller port)
> Bindings = (i use an xbox1 controller so it is all preset settings)
> Macros = in the [Binds/Buttons] section check the "Cricle" and "Apply Pressure" options, in the [Pressure section] i use 100% and on [Trigger section] map it to the "Circle" button
I only tested in early game and so far no accidental deaths and it is also working on menus/ CQC.
Let me know if this works for you.
Thank you for making this video. It is extremely helpful to me in finding the best option. Please keep the videos coming
Very useful video, congrats. It'll be great a new version with the pachinko graphics.
Whoa I was just thinking about this the other day thinking to myself "Hmm what was that video I watched that showed the best way to play MGS3 on PC" and here you are with another video on it haha!
I don't have a PS3 controller and I don't have a GPU so I'm gonna stick with the PS2 version. Especially since the file size is WAY smaller to keep the game around compared to the HD remaster.
Truly a man of culture, that final comparison really helped!
Man, this video is gold, I just started MGS saga and this helps a lot
The 3DS version has had a host of great patches to make it one of the best versions playable on Citra. There's an HD texture pack, control fix and 60fps hack which makes the game run really amazingly well.
What specs are your PC? I had a pretty low end one when I tried to run it last year, and it ran like crap. Would love to get it working properly because the 3ds version is my favourite due to the aiming, and crouch walking
Does the touch screen still needs to appear?
Holy shit this upload blows my mind, I've been on a marathon and just tinkering with emulators a month ago to find the best MGS3 experience. I enjoy Citra the most cause it feels almost like a remake, bonus points if you have an extra monitor for the second screen. My girlfriend loved Snake Eater the most so far.
My ideal setup for each game:
1: The Twin Snakes on Dolphin, widescreen patch, HD texture pack, PS1 music patch
2: PC version with V's fix and Substance of Subsistence mod (adds 3rd person cam)
3: Citra with 60fps patch, HD texture pack (update the game version or patch won't work, also you need to GRAB A SAVE with CIRCLE PAD PRO ENABLED!!! so you can use analog stick properly!)
4: RCPS3 (remember to update the game version too)
V: PC, stuff the OSTs of the entire saga in the Walkman folder.
I used to play a demo of this game on my ps2 when I was 8 😂 I still feeling the same thing that I felt when I watched this introduction, I played that demo a lot of times and never knew what happens after a certain part of the beginning of the game, but I remember that the game was really good
you should consider making this a series for other classic games, I think it'd be pretty well received.
The last graphics comparison was definitely the most important part of the video 😊
Agreed
Great video, yeah definitely revisiting this one on PCsX2, just download it and I'll be playing Silent Hill: The Room for the first time too.
I'd recommend Xenia Canary for the optimal performance on X360 emulation. The drawbacks which it really pushes your CPU to the limit for the best experience. If you don't have sufficient cooling or playing on the laptop, you might get overheat easily.
Played the HD Collection on the Steam Deck recently (RPCS3), runs fine apart from slowdown when things get hectic, as well as the final Boss fight.
Thanks for this, these types of videos showing a "best way to play" a game with a bunch of different methods are incredibly useful
Thanks man for this awesome tips and seeing your video i think the game still have beautiful graphics , i just love the brown wash tone 😁
I think that citra would be an awesome option for portable emulation on the new wave of portable PC based devices like the steam deck, as the new lighting system is higher contrast that makes things somewhat more readable on a smaller screen or in poor lighting conditions and the lower res textures are less noticeable on the smaller screen as well, but that all assumes that you can get the emulators running on one of those devices
Peacewalker plays perfectly for me I just downloaded and set rpcs3 the other day for guns of the patriots and figured I'd give PW a shot and it plays beautifully, gonna get a rom for snake eater as well but I replayed it pretty recently
Great to hear, thanks! What's your CPU if you don't mind me asking?
Citra does have cheats that allow 60 fps on MGS3D, and you can get analog aim if you set up Citra to emulate the circle pad pro. But you also have to download a save file that has the Circle pad pro already enabled, as citra crashes when the game tries to enable it. Played the whole game on Citra, was a pretty good experience, aside from a few crashes during the last cut scenes. The save states in Citra allowed me to just quickly reload if there was a crash. Played it on my steam deck, was fun and I think one of the best ways to play the game. Aside from the shittier graphics, the aiming and crouch walking make up for it.
there's an AI upscaled texture pack that greatly improves the graphics, I think it's better than the HD version
:)
Are the controls the OG R1 to aim, square button to fire stuff? Cause modern controllers don't have analog face buttons, atleast I don't think, so no decocking the gun once you've held the square button. So if you're gonna pull your gun up, you better be ready to fire. Last time I tried emulating it was on PCSX2 and I don't think there's a good workaround with that. Unless you can map the aim/fire button to the trigger, that way you still have analog control.
@@nickv1212 The 3ds controls use the shoulder buttons and u can aim without firing
@@HeadShoht Nice. It's crazy how FPSs were basically figured out on console already while some TPS were still using archaic controls. I guess it makes sense that Japanese games would still use face buttons to shoot, they basically don't have a gun culture. MS were smart enough, or American enough to realize these controllers have triggers on them and they already contour in the hand kinda like a gun. Why not design games accordingly.
But I kinda miss the early days when devs were still figuring this stuff out.
Nice video, subscribed. Clear information no gimmicks.
Nice video! I'll probably just be playing via backwards compatibility on Series X because my PCs are old. It's nice to see how this runs on affordable hardware.
Honestly it probably works better on the series x than an emulator
I would love to see a MGS4 updated RPCS3 settings vid. Love the content
This makes me glad I have all the OG stuff. I like messing with some stuff but mgs just feels good on the og hardware
Despite the technical issues and 3DS limitations, MGS3D was my preferred way of playing the game. MGS4 style controls and the touchscreen for changing camouflage suits were a step obove over the original, as long as you use the circle pad pro or the second stick of the New N3DS (the circle pad was more comfortable though).
I'd like the remake was based in this version.
having a CFW'd New 3DS is such a boon for Nintendo and retro emulation. It's how I played mgs3 as well and it was quite enjoyable.
I've been playing all the PS exclusive on my SteamDeck. Absolutely glorious.
I finish this game for more than 10 times in the ps2 console. Very sure 100% the game unless I miss something. Truly a masterpiece of a game
For the RPCS3 button sensitivity issue, if you go into the emulator control settings you can actually map a button that softens your next inputs while holding the key. You can also set it to toggle to make it more of a switch.
Great Video! I'd love to see you cover mgs2 again
Great video! I wasn't even aware there was a Nintendo 3DS version of MGS3
great video! super informative!!! thank you for making this!
Very cool video. Keep them coming!
The broken rain effect present in both Xenia and RPCS3 is not a result of an emulation error but the HD Port itself, I Compared the two on real hardware using the PS2 and PS3 to confirm.
Hey I friggin love what ur doing keep it up! I bet u'll be huge in no time!
Thank you very much!
Just completed the game about 20 minutes ago PS2 emulator. Loved it aside from the camera which seriously hindered my enjoyment of the game at some points. No crashes, only audio bugs was during the bigger actions scenes containing the Shagohad and escape scene after the last fight. Other than that. No issues
Did you play the original release or the subsistence rerelese?
I had no issues at all. Subsistence version.
In fact I recorded the game in 4K for two hours, video will be shortly on my channel (check in 8 hours, it's processing forever lol)
@@GutsOfRivia Original
@@fourtruths3324 You should've played the Subsistence version, it adds a camera that is behind Snake and you can control it.
@@fourtruths3324 Get the Substance version, not only does it have a much more refined camera system, it also has three separate discs, with Disc 1 containing the game and it's entirety, Disc 2 having alot of bonus content and MGO, and Finally, Disc 3 having behind the scenes videos and early marketing for MGS4
TL;DR: substance is alot better then the original, with added bonus content into the game, A much better implemented 3rd person camera system, while having most bugs present in the original version from emulation fixed in this version on PCSX2.
its funny how 2 months after this video knami unveils the remake
Nice video. Just a bit about PCSX2/RPCS3 pressure sensitivity buttons on MGS2\MGS3, you only need it for [] and 0 buttons and you can easyli map them to triggers. For me PS3/RPCS version runs the best. I recently wanted to play whole series in chronological order even tough I own original hardware I wanted to play them on emulator on higher resolution.
thanks for including the settings you used in the video. as a classic game enjoyer, but someone who doesnt want to learn the finer points of configuring emulators this is a great resource!
There are texture packs and cheat codes that do work on vita. Also that game was compatible with the circle pad pro, so you should be able to use the right pad
Good video. The 3DS ver had second stick support though
3ds version was the one which I completed and oh God the 3d effects on real new 3ds console was outstanding! + cstick helps a lot with control
Love videos like this, awesome content.
Good video but this update has some errors and misconceptions mostly centered around MGS3D.
7:34 Check that they are entered correctly and enable cheats to use the frame rate code. It might be dependant on if it's a US or EU copy.
7:43 You can enable dual analog via the circle pad pro pad in the options, that said Citra has a bug where it can crash if you enable it. 🫤
(One solution is dumping/using a save/copy that already has it enabled)
General heads up but make sure MGS3D is patched to 1.1 as well.
General trivia that will sound absurd/stupid but MGS3D is believed to run off a fork of MGS4's engine, it's map files can even be loaded into MGS4 and it's animation format is the same too. MGS3D has Peacewalker styled hit markers (that can also be toggled off) and without the circle pad pro it defaults to a control scheme/bindings similar to Peacewalker.
In addition to over the shoulder and unlike PW you can still switch to first person, swap shoulders, crawl (you can even crawl sideways) etc.
1:51 Annnd unrelated "fun" fact, water for the Sorrow cutscene and the cutscene where Snake and Eva first reach the WIG are broken in the HDC. The only way to have the effect display correctly in those versions is to swap to letterbox mode (21:9) for some reason. During that cutscene with Ocelot at 1:50 it's also fixed by being cropped zoomed in more during letterbox mode.😮
Have you got a source for this being MGS4s engine? That's incredible if it's true
About the cheats, I did enable it but it didn't work. I tried multiple actually, the only ones that worked were a 30fps one and a 60fps code that made the game run at 3x speed.
And about the circle pad pro, I didn't mention it because it crashes, so it's not really usable.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know that about MGS4's engine. Must be the same engine for MGS4, MGSPW and MGS3D then. Pretty interesting
@@1Ocelot Since you couldn't get the frame rate code working I feel you could have mentioned the other issues you had/there are with the circle pad pro. MGS3D needs to be updated to 1.1.
If I had to bet, MGS3D crashed right before or during the Snake Eater song. It also has a crash after Eva and Snake bang. 😵💫
Were the cheats for the US or EU version? Also once enabled restart to prevent the issue with the speed. Also one work around to use the circle pad pro is to use an existing save with it enabled.
@@weeurey MGS modding knowledge.
@@GuyOnAChair I tried the codes for myself, at first wasn't working but when I tried using 1.0 specific codes the 30fps code worked but not the 60fps one. Also my audio cuts out after like 5-10 minutes and haven't seen anyone else mention it or found a fix online.
well, I'm happy to be the first to say in this comments, that konami is finally going to release a port of mgs3, besides a remake :D (I'm crying).
Thanks! Looks like RPCS3 is getting better.
I've been emulating the original PS2 version on PCSX2. Definitely gotta check some of the other methods out and compare!
Regarding Citra
Metal Gear Solid 3 D has support for an accessory called the circle pad pro, which mitigates the problem of not having a second analog stick
Enabling that option in the game (if there's a way to make it work on Citra) should fix that issue so you don't have to remap any buttons.
Been rocking the Rpcs3 emulator with a 13900k and 4090 and it makes those older games look soooo good with the scaling. Emulation has come a long way.
AWESOME job dude, nice vid.
Did a playthrough a little over a year ago on RPCS3. It was my first completed Extreme playthrough. Went very smooth the whole way through up until the motorcycle chases after the Volgin fight which would crash, but you could at least save from room to room if it didn't crash.
where do u get the game files from
I just put on the cold war camo, swap camera to third person and face away from the shagohod and the enemies
if you still see this where are the files? I've looked everywhere and can't find em
@@Utrixi i ended up buying the mgs HD collection cost me 30, nd am playing through on a friends ps3 atm
@@UtrixiWhen you emulate games, you're looking for the roms. Google snake eater roms for whatever system you're emulating. For example, today I wanted to play Super Mario Bros 3. I researched the best NES emulators and found the one I wanted. Downloaded it. Then I googled Super Mario Bros 3 rom. Downloaded it. Opened it with the emulator. Bam.
I've completed this game on PC in 2017 with pcsx2 (and not even the best one, gtx850 i5 4210h, which is outdated mobile videochip/cpu even at the date), and completed it perfectly, in 60fps, with no crashes even! This video gives out an outdated information, but still, if it will make someone who really wanted to play this game actually complete it, it will be great.
(Also, as you can understand, you can even run it perfectly on an outdated hardware if you take some time to tune the settings)
Love your job! Thanks
In citra you can enable the circle pad pro in-game, and then you can map the right stick to that
You're pretty good! And thank you for the video, maybe someday we will get a remake on fox engine
Bought this game several times over the last two decades: og game (steelbook/PS2), Subsistence (PS2), HD Collection (PS3) and since I had no Xbox at the time, i also grabbed a new/sealed X360 copy of HD collection a few years ago to play it on Series X via BC - best way to enjoy MGS2&3 (and PW) at this time imo. One of the best games of all time, true masterpiece.
All you have to do is bind pressure sensitive buttons to triggers and you can use any controller.
Except a switch controller as its triggers are digital
@@clipCommander101 who use a switch pro controller? that shit sucks
@@valentdsI like it for the gyro aiming in MGS5 and other games. It's pretty much and Xbox controller with different buttons. And it lasts like 80 hours or some shit
@@valentds I have multiple controllers just for emulation and tbh the one I use most is the Switch Pro (one that looks like a gamecube controller with a few extra buttons). Great feel and the amount of buttons makes hot keys set up a breeze.

Great video. Really informative.
Thank you Ocelot, you're pretty good
Thank you, with this video I now know about some great emulators.
HD collection was great. I didnt even know there was a 3DS port and a vita port!
I played this one and 2 last year on my PC in 1440p at 60fps...good ol RPCS3 and the HD collection
Yep just finished it on PCSX2 and felt great. Now I just wish I could play MGS4: GotP but that's a much taller order.
Damn, back? Big dub.
I can’t lie I really enjoy the 3DS version on a new Nintendo 3DS and it’s the version I’d want to emulate in the future. Once the emulator and mod communities fix the game to be more pc friendly
I love the little gameplay changes and the new textures (I haven’t seen those textures on a high resolution screen so my mind might change when I do)
It’s not as fundamentally flawed as it seems because the new 3D there is c-stick support (second analog stick) and it feels like it run at about 30 on that hardware because I remember it being significantly slower on my brothers og 3ds. And I very clearly remember Being able to map c stick in citra last time I used it allowing for 2nd stick support
Use nightly build of PCSX2 and you'll see a way better performance!
7:56. You cluld also try enabling circle pad pro for duel stick control for the 3ds.
Ahah it seems you can see Ocelot regardless in that cutscene, even without 16:9 ratio. You just see the gauntlet and I watched some captured footage from back then and while you can see it you'd have to focus really hard to see it. But it's fun that it's there and visible anyway :P
I cant wait to see this fight scene with ocelot in MGS3 Delta...man thats going to be INSANE.
Downloading now, thanks!
Wow you can actually see ocelots hand even on 4:3 during the cutscene. I played this through over 20 times on ps2 and never noticed this before.
ps3 controller isnt necessarily required for RPCS3. If you rebind square and circle to r2 and l2 on a ps4/xbox controller you can use the analog actions associated with the buttons. the menu navigation is a bit wonky but once you're used to it it works well.
Welcome back. I noticed you havent posted in a while so i was wondering if u were ok lol
lol I'm good, just busy. Thanks
Still gets me everytime once I realized Pearl from spongebob was the same voice actress for The Boss.
On pcsx2 try increasing the "Cycle Rate" in the "System" tab and see if that helps with the slowdowns.
Ngl I laughed pretty hard seeing ocelot just standing in the background staring at you after he supposedly "left" 😂
I play the game on my android phone using touch controls. I use the Aether sx2 emulator app to emulate the ps2 version. I sometimes play with a bluetooth connected ps5 controller.
Quite surprising to see the portable versions were the best. With texture packs they will look even better.
Amazing work!
Actually you should have mentioned playing Xenia on its recommend resolution which is its default 720p. The performance is honestly really good and my GPU doesnt go past 40 Celsius and its a 2070
I was wondering if you had tried Vita3K and sure enough you did.
Never played through this series but did do my own testing a while back with Superbeat Xonic as a reference.
Vita3K ran the game but audio was scratchy compared to running the same game in Yuzu
Excellent video!!! Metal gear solid 4 next?
Been wanting to play this game again real bad, gonna go for Xenia since I don't have any PS3 Controllers left.
Awesome work!
an xbox controller works on RPCS3 btw. your input select has to be set to "XInput" if i remember right.
Great video! Cheers!
Thx for the great video, very informative. Have you finished the game on RCP3? The wiki states that some sections like the final boss fight have huge slowdowns that make them borderline unplayable.
I played it on RPCS3 with a pretty good PC and the final boss was really laggy but its definitely possible to continue the game.
@@herrfabi Thx, good to know.
i finished the game a couple times on rpcs3 with a decent pc, the final boss as well as some of the sections leading to it can have some severe slowdown, but it is beatable (also occasionally there was a graphical glitch during cutscenes causing red flashing)
Glad to see your videos get the views they deserve
