- with the release of the master collection, it has alot of flaws a that are downgrades of the originals and the hd collection, which play poorly in comparison with the original ports and especially the emulators, that can play these games in fantastic quality that put the "master collection" to shame

This is great. Personally though, I've enjoyed torrenting the Master Collection and applying mods. It's made playing 2 and 3 amazing. I'd still say emulating 1 is best though. There's no saving that port.
thank you for this, my step dad passed away and he was a big MGS fan and pretty much introduced me to the series been playing through all them and wanted to play 1-2 ,4 so this was awesome help
Hopefully, you enjoyed the series! Also, sorry about your loss
I have never before seen a video where I agreed with the author's points that much. Amazing guide, thank you.
I've struggled with pcs3, honestly playing the titles on psx2 is really great too. It's not perfect but better than the $60 nonesense for games I already own on ps1 and ps2 and ps3.
i personally wouldn't touch it, my computers i have wouldn't be able to run it anyways, using the PS2 versions is a far better option which would also work on the steam deck too
what about the input lag, i heard ps2 emulators are kinda ass on that and don't do much to negate it and hence it feels like there is more input lag then og versions
@@MGrey-qb5xz I haven't had any issues with input lag and psx2. When I'm upscaling, sometimes it can get kinda choppy. Think the rain in the tanker chapter on MGS2. Otherwise it's pretty smooth on my PC with hardly any configuration. My pc was beefy 10 years ago.
Beat mgs1 for the first time its still a soild game, thanks for the tutorial cant wait to play through the rest of the franchise. Emulation truly is the future
Why is it that this little 7k view youtube video was so much more helpful than anything else i've managed to find !!
I have demonstrated on my channel that upscaling MGS3 (and 2 by extension) on RPCS3 actually looks worse than using the 4K mod that came out soon after the MC got released.
I also had major issues with MGS3 near the end, where it kept giving me infinite loading screens after the penultimate boss. Had to replay the boss 5-6 times in order to progress. I know it's not my specs, because I have a 7700X and a 4070Ti.
TL;DR - wait for a major sale or... you know, and then use the 4K mod that exists for free, and play MGS2 and MGS3 that way on PC, in true 4K.
Not upscaled from 720p. The only "major" issue that exists right now in MGS3 is that the DoF effect goes away. That's up to preference.
why buy it, you are on pc lol. buy it if they fix the issues themselves rather then the community doing it for free
Great stuff bud i havent kept up to date with emulators in many years last time i tried wss many years ago when they were hard for even a high end pc to run thr ps3 emulators well. So this is brilliant! Thabk you vrry much and stay Based AF 👌🏻
cheers my g
Glad someone called this crap out for what it is!..glad i Kept my original consoles and original games to play..a huge opertunity missed to bring one of the best games ever made to modern consoles..il keep my 60 quid..regards from ireland man!..
SO i had already bought the collection. I played MG,MG2SS, and MGS1. Great time, wasn't expecting much graphically especially since it was the first time i had played MGS1 myself. I wanted to also experience MGS Twin Snakes ( which; unpopular opinion, i thought was a great way to experience the original's story) so I used Dolphin to run it and it looked great! Since i had the Vol. 1 collection, i was like "okay time to start up MGS2"... and immediately realized the MGS Twin Snakes emulation looked quite some notches better than the port on that collection we've received in the year 2023 -_- i was disappointed to say the least. I ran into this video and I'm glad i did cause i was honestly really enjoying how good that Twin Snakes emulation looked for such an old game. Downloading the emulation now. Hoping all goes well cause i would like to replay these amazing games in their full glory. Also just greatfull i got a tutorial on downloading a ps3 emulator cause i was definitely going to buy a whole ps3 to play other ps3 games! So thanks a alot for the tutorial!!
you're welcome bud 👍 enjoy, these games are timeliness classics
@@mycardboardbox game booted up okay but unfortunately i'm running into an issue where i'm not exactly sure how to access these "advanced settings" to be able to add the 4k stuff to it. If it's under "Configuration --> Advanced" all i'm getting is a pop up saying "Fatal Error" and just straight up crashes the emulator. Some help on this would be super appreciated cause getting those juicy settings was the main point of switching over to RPCS3 to play metal gear instead of the crappy Collection
for those with the same issues... i fixed my problem by updating my drivers manually. But now i'm having another issue. (sigh). with the settings that were provided in this video.. i tried my best to copy everything but it was a tad confusing cause i guess with the the update that RPCS3 got, it looks a bit different with some additional options and box checks not having any blue, just white, a couple reds, and the blank unmarked. So the problem that i'm having is that when i'm booting up the game, it gets stuck literally on the last numer or numbers of "building SPU cache... Progress: module 129 of 130" or whatever the number or numbers might be... so i literally can't even boot up the game to see how the settings are working. Maybe the update and additional settings might have something to do with it. (ALSO FORGOT TO ASK)... in advanced settings where the "firmware libraries" section is... there's quite a few other boxes left to check there and i wasn't sure if you checked them all as well. (i did) assuming you did as well because all of the ones that are visible are checked...
Yeah, I have to be in favor of this (especially for PC) as the Master Collection has a fair share of issues that I don't think I'll play them again once I complete the Platinum Trophies on the Ps4 version in the long run... I wanted to give Konami the benefit of doubt, and they failed big time (yeah, I admit I like the convenience of the collection to save space on my PC, but I think I rather use a PC for that or the original platforms or my Ps3... for the Ps2 games, maybe Snake Eater I'll use my Ps3 along with Solid 4 if I don't use a PC, Solid 2 my Ps2... heck, even the Substance PC port is much better than the Master Collection... especially on PC, Solid 1... yeah, Ps3 if I play on console... I have to look if my gaming Laptop can handle the PS3 Emulator, because if it works overall fine...).
Duckstation updates pack malware?
Since when dude? The project is open source, and it's combed through pretty thoroughly on the regular.
If you use any antivirus like avast or norton I would strongly suggest getting rid of it, they slow down your pc, give you false positive flags, almost always, and they're a security risk since most of them scan your files, god knows what they do with that info.
Anyway, thanks for the two disk trick, I'm going to definitely use it since I'm in an MGS mood as of late.
You just solved a big problem I was having - I couldn’t understand how to run the bin files and found this video
I’m just abt to start this any things I might run into?
at 9:14 you mention it almost gave you malware, can you go more into detail about that? because now im a bit cautious about trying this at all.
I personally wouldn’t worry about that at all. I’ve been an emulation and video game piracy rat for quite some time and I’ve never seen or heard of anyone getting malware from updating an emulator. Just be careful download roms and make sure you’re clicking the right download link
Brilliant video
You need a dualshock 3 and the correct driver to work with the pressure sensitive buttons which are a part of MGS PS3 games - so, no.
Play the 360 version in Xenia instead if you are going to go the emulation route.
or if you buy t he master collection play 2 and 3 with he awesome mod that makes it as Konami should have done to begin with.
you sir earned a sub but was risky showing off the sites for roms brave ill be here till the hammer comes down
and it has
MGS4 frequently crashes on RPCS3. I even used the official settings recommended by RPCS3, and installed all suggested patches as well.
whats your cpu like? lower your settings mgs4 works fine for me
@@mycardboardbox CPU: i9-9900k, GPU: RTX 3070 TI
I tried a couple different configurations, but I couldn't get the game to be stable. What MGS4 settings have the most impact and should be changed?
3 thing s that should never of been allowed to happen
1 - stopping the big box pc games
2 - letting digital only get has big has its got
3 - always online games
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Piracy and modding is the only way to save the gaming seen now
Konami still profiting off of Kojima’s greatness. Great vid sir. Couldn’t agree with you more.
Hello, i have a litlle problem, How do I change the language to Spanish? and how can I remove the windows bar? Amazing video
cancelled my preorder when amazon changed the delivery date. quick cash grab from konami and it's a shame they did this. I'll worry about this version for the trophy support when its on sale and hopefully vol.2 is better. hopefully they learn from this debacle but i doubt it.
What to do if I don't see the bio file and can't find it anywhere, when i want to download it to the emulator
bro after i download the bios from mega and go to open the file in rpcs3 it doesn't show up pls help
I haven't tried 2 and 3 from HD collection but at least MGS4 from PS3 runs like a crap on my I7 8700K and still has many problems at current time...
For MGS1 actually I think it's by miles better to go Twin Snakes at 8K and use the HD (4upscale) texture pack and use the uncensor cheat built-in the dolphin emulator, it really makes a true MGS 1 re-remaster and with my current settings it's going pretty smooth for me.
MGS2 and 3 from Master Collection have lots of mods and fixes by the community already and keeps increasing over time and you can increase resolution too...
It's nice that MGS3 is finally on PC, but yeah this wasn't worth $60. I only got it to sync between the Steam Deck and my PC. I've noticed that the audio in 2 and 3 is a bit fuzzy as well. Although I haven't had any framerate issues. Wait for a sale y'all.
lol forget the sale, its trash its downgraded on every level
Hello Thevoicebox!!!
Thank you for the video thats so helpfull and very well expleined!
I have it downloaded in the emulator, but when I click inside the collection to one of the games, lets say sons of Liberty, It takes me out of the game. Do you know how It could be fixed? I have follow all the steps in the video.
Thank you very much
hello, it might be worth just double checking all your drivers are up to date, the problem is the emulator setting may not work the ones i used because it depends on your pc set up, i recommend right clicking on the game itself and go to the rpcs3 website to see what are the most stable settings to run the game on for your pc, you may also need to update your game to, by going to this website you will be able to do so the moderators there should be able to help you set it up and get the updates which are really simple its just a drag and drop on to the game interface (when the games not booted of course) join that link and it should give you some help, even i use it too, hoped that helped! discord.com/invite/4XQ8RkX53j
@@mycardboardboxthank you very much!!! I'll try that
Thank you so much!! That worked!!
Really appreciated content!! I Hope not to bother you to much, but do you know how to save the game properly during your play? There is an option of "saved emulator process" in the PS bottom (I play with a DualShock 4) but then when I run the game again there is nothing in the hard disk drive so I can not load It.
Thanks
This just proves that gamers now don’t care about preservation of games but just want shiny updates or new games. I bought this knowing full well what it was and to experience it as if I was on my ps1 and ps2.
your talking backwards bruh if that's case of perseveration wouldn't that mean playing the games you already previously own on the classic consoles? your logic is diminished, you haven't brought into anything revolutionary as your sort tell yourself, you bought a games that you already own, that infact the master collection was a disaster with all kinds of issue's fact, a "true" gamer knows when there been exploited for a nostalgia trip, face it your in denial and lack the intellect to notice
@@mycardboardbox attacking my character of intelligence means you have no real argument. You can make a claim, provide factual proofs without attacking me. That in itself shows your fallacy.
I don't really get this. The modern PC version has WORSE performance than the originals. Graphical errors not present in the originals, (filters and effects missing, etc), texture artifacts, crashes, frame drops not present in the originals, horrible ui, again, all things that were not present in the original. You are effectively saying people don't care about preservation because they don't want to play a downgraded version of the originals. Emulating gives you the option of closely reproducing what it was like on the originals, while also giving the option of higher resolution and performance, should you choose to do so. If the modern port was 1:1 with the originals, or even better, I could understand your point.
Can i combine the twin snakes version as well and run it with dolphin emulator?
Great vid, I agree with your all of your points but the pc part is kinda exaggerated. Yes it's good for emulation but for gaming? It's debatable for instance look at the newer games they relay HEAVILY on upscaling
many thanks
Don't play Europe MGS 1, play NTSC version instead of Pal - PAL is slower due to 50hrz
additionally the integral version is the definitive version of the game is the best one, on top of that the twin snakes version is the one that is up to date if you prefer to play that one too
so crazy that despite the frame rate and graphics improvements in hd collection (then downgraded in master collection alongside audio lol), the ps2 ports are still better
try tell that to the fools who buy the master collection, they think we got it wrong bruh
😃👍🏼 Keep it real man. The so called master collection is garbage. The only thing worth getting is the bonus content for the digital graphic novel but it's behind a paywall having to grab MGS1-3 games. So you might want to sail the seas 🏴☠ to get just that. Plus getting the original games you won't have to deal with deleted scenes and deleted mini-games in MGS3, you won't have to deal with input lag on MGS1, and MGS2 messed up cut scenes (as mentioned by the video). In addition, another game collection Konami (and their co-porter) ruined Silent Hill collections so you can do the same process as above for those titles.
Fuken awesome idea
Xenia Canary > RPCS3, just because of the controls for MGS2 and 3. No pressure sensitivity on modern controller face buttons is an issue. Xbox has the workaround with L3.
ya can set mock pressure inputs on rpcs3...its easy to sort out.
@@seeker2657 How would you switch between the pressure settings on the fly? Cause sometimes you'd want half press, sometimes you'd want full press.
I've done everything the video says but when I go to load the m3u folder its not there
m3u document in your mgs 1 folder on your files desktop were you have your disc 1 and disc 2 files in go VIEW - SHOW (FILE EXTENSIONS) the m3u should be a "file" not folder, try it
why i dont have cue files do i have to create them?
thank you!
For Duckstation it requires a BIOs, where can I find a US/Canada one? Asking because I dont wanna download malware

I keep getting an error where the spu cache keeps getting stuck at 118 out of 119 and I can’t play the game at all, any help? I also just get a black screen sometimes are you able to make a more recent video explaining this?
i take it you're trying to play hd collection ? is the game got the latest update? make sure your gpu drivers updated to, be sure to join the discord to update you're game discord.me/rpcs3, and try this video you're cpu might not handle the settings i gave for black screen - czcams.com/video/vfFY24rsy7E/video.html
@@mycardboardbox I have the same gpu drivers as you honestly and they’re all updated and yes Im playing the HD collection. But the new version of RPSC3 has newer options now that aren’t displayed on the video so I don’t know if that’s the problem
How is the emulator called again? :D ;)
konami hurry up with the release of the pc version of metal gear 4 , we are tired of waiting, and make sure that it is supported by a gtx 1050ti
Hopefully they add multiplayer on mgs pw in the volume 2
I still buy mgs games, but if there is not 'A game by Hideo on top' I'll just ignore it...
why didn't you recommend people to play twin snakes version of metal gear solid 1? it would be easier to run also, and it's not a great idea mentioning vims lair for downloads, it's putting it at risk to get taken down 😬
Twin snakes is utter trash sadly...i would only play that after playing the vastly superior ps1 versions...twin snakes is an abortion of a remake in a multitude of ways.
@@seeker2657 what in the word? You do know David hayter and some of the original voice actors returned for the remake right? I've played the original so many times but twin snakes have charm, each to their own 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I saw a video from this one channel called “Metal gear” something and boy were they kissing the boot on this master collection lol. Almost every other channel I saw was honest and said that it was just a cash grab
some people are misinformed, and some love poor quality games, they will gobble up anything the devs turd out there executive assholes so many downplaying it, instead of saying it as it is and if feelings get hurt, oh well
Thanks. I bought on PC and it's shit. I would do the emulator but i'm trying to keep anything 3rd party of my computer. Eventually I end up with problems every time i did.
i think this was a missed opportunity to introduce ppl to the twin snakes that never played it..at least on the switch version at least
twin snakes is not that good compared to original on ps1, its not challenging at all sure it has better graphics but so what
Peace walker has severe flickering for me.
The old 'just use a PC' argument is pretty lame. These all play fine on the ps5, and 2+3 look and sound great on my massive TV and sound system.
If emulation is so great, why did you PC master race dorks buy the master collection in the first place. Why are we here, just to suffer?
In time they will all be remade in UE5, released in chronological order going 3,1,2,4, if you make the old ones look better, it takes the shine of the proper remakes, delta etc.
you're barking up the wrong tree my good man, i will never buy the master collection lol and if that's what you believe fair enough, but pc has more specs to run games in higher quality that's just facts, please refrain from been salty its not nice 👍
@@mycardboardbox you made a salty video, about something you didn't even purchase.
All that negativity for something that was delivered exactly as expected says more about you as a 'creator' than it does about the release
@@jonnyplasma4321 god loves you buddy 👍
Can you use a controller for the emulator
yup
How can I play MSG1 with those good graphics??????????????????
Can you do this on the steam deck?
yes, just play ps2/psp versions, for mgs 1 play twin snakes
you are terribly wrong about this , the quality of those pc remasters is way better than the console version , also , konami hurry up and release the pc version of metal gear 4 this year, we are tired of waiting
PC version with mods is the way to go for 2 and 3.
Went with your guide and MGS HD Collections plays fine but MGS4 puts me right to the black screen. Any idea?
ye join rpcs3 on discord and talk to the moderators who can help you, u need to get the updates from the dc channel and drag the file into the rpcs3 interface on mgs4 , right click mgs4 "manage game patches" and check for updates
Hey, Im 68% sure this video will creae traction, havent finished watching but PLEASE, remove the roms from the description Im pretty sure people know where to get their roms, else if the video blows up even a little they can take it down, rpcs3 links are aight tho
doubt this videos taking of bro chill even if the roms get pulled people will reupload them "The Patriots are trying to protect their power, their own interests, by controlling the digital flow of information. I want my memory, my existence to remain. Unlike an intron of history, I will be remembered as an exon.” (Solidus) 😎

yeah he should have removed mentioning vims lair in the video, don't want the site getting traction or getting the site removed
On PC modders are gonna fox master collection…just give it time
na ive got the games on pc i dont need to invest in a game i already own
Can you stop giving vims lair a lot of exposure, let people google and find it them selves. Before it gets taken down
waaaaah waaaaaaaaaah reeeee go cry bruh anime dweeb
Anyone else only have the bin file for disc 2?
same
konami are xof, and were diamond dogs they tried to destroy kojimas legacy, and destroy the legend but we see them coming last time was a surprise
Pay? Heh.. cute.

Even PCSX2 with HD texture packs and 4k resolution on my 3050 laptop! Is better than this dog turd port.
I can't man, my PC barely runs ps1 games lol😅
I highly recommend buying the Master Collection, the main menus alone dazzle me and leave me staring at them.

@@mycardboardboxAgreed. That’s a good video.
I don't really care how it looks, looks fine too me, they're all super old games anyway.
