Metal Gear Solid issue on PS2

Butch Cassidy

I know the VR Missions/Integral didn't work on the PS2fat but my problem is at the end of the game... I let the credits roll but at the very end it just stalls and is dead so I can't save it and can't get the stealh camo.

My discs are in perfect order, can't see anything wrong with them. Did anyone else ever hear of this?

stellarartois

never heard of this IMHO.

I have the same problem.

That's one weird problem. Reason enough to hold onto an original Playstation. I haven't come across it myself as I haven't played through MGS on a PS2. Good to know though.

Easy, get a ps1 to play it on. They sell for buttons.

pc version was good too,had really smooth graphics and first person view whilst you where moving..

Mr. K

I had the same problem, I just played it on my PS1 instead.

Butch Cassidy

Ah grand I knew I wasn't mad. I'm playing through it again so I'll see if it stalls on my PS2 slim and then I'll load it up into the PS1 slim.

Butch Cassidy

Just to confirm: the credits stall on the PS2 slim as well. It's when the last credit rolls up reading "Developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan Co., Ltd."

That's a load of balls! Cheers for confirming. As a matter of interest, any idea if this also happens on PS3s with backwards compatability?

well all ps3's play ps1 games, id hazzard a guess it doesnt happen thjough but i havent played the disk version through on my console as of yet (have it downloaded and disk sitting on shelf)

Retr0gamer

Hmm... it's a possibility that it will happen on the PS3 as well since it's probably using a version of the same chipset.

Butch Cassidy

I was convinced for the longest time that it was the disc that was at fault but I plugged in the PsOne and no bother there though the disc spinning was a bit noisy - probably just the console as I neverreally play it.

I don't have a PS3 with backwards compatibility but does anyone anymore? I heard a large number of them died a death of some yellow light

All PS3s can play PSone games. I assume the glitch doesn't occur on PS3, since you can download MGS.

All PS1 capabilities on the PS3 is software-based so it it shares nothing with the hardware used in PS2s to play PS1 games.

Hang on, the Playstation3 can play PS1 games?
