hi guys,
i thought i might give the old MSG1 a go on the pc.
and was wondering if anyone would know if i bought a "DUAL PS/PS2 to PC USB CONTROLLER 2 PLAYER CONVERTER " would work on the game, basically can i play the game on my laptop using my ps2 controller, providing i had the usb converter.

thanks.

I don;t see why it wouldn't.

I'd recommend the Gamecube remake though. Way better graphics and the first person view makes the Ocelot battle much easier.

graphics doesnt really bother me i just want to play the old msg1 one of my favourite games ever, thanks for the feedback aswell mate

It would almost certainly allow it. I have the same adaptor and it's worked with pretty much every game i've tried. Only problem i've had is not having enough button configurations for games like Far Cry, but with the controls being simple on Metal Gear Solid, that won't be a problem.

I was playing MGS at the weekend for the first time in years, still very fun to play and brought back memories. Incredible game.

"Snake?...Snake?? Snaaaake..."

lol i love the game i just want to complete it and get stealth camo so i can complete it again lol i completed it 8 times on the ps1 when i had it lol,

also on my laptop it said it wont run because of my gfx card (i think) what gfx card should i get, how would i install in in my laptop and how much would it be, (i dont want to spend too mcuh just for a game.

I was always forced to submit to Ocelot's torture, although I borrowed my mate's memory card to copy his save which had stealth and the bandana, but once the initial fun has died down, it becomes too easy. The cardboard box is usually useful for tricking the guards.

I'm determined to survive the torture this time, but I couldn't save the game I had at the weekend, as I don't have a PS1 memory card anymore. I'll have to buy another one soon.

As for the graphics card, i'm not too knowledgable about that, if you post in the technology thread in Off-topic, someone should be able to help you out.

i loved mgs1 on the playstation. my fingers were hurtin after ocelots torture, but i survived it.

 

[liverpool1287]

i thought resisting the torture was quite easy to be honest.
i was playing the ps1 version about 2 days ago i got on the the second disc in like 2hours, and then i remembered i couldnt save on the ps2 memory card and lost my ps1 memory ages ago lol i was like wtf lol but id be quite happy to go through it all again lol.

I always used to love those exclamation marks that pop up above the enemy's head with an aroused 'huh?'.

Or was it question marks :huh: (?)

yeh the excalmation marks are when they notice you and the question mark is if they hear a sound and are confused

The MGS series consists of the best games ever.

MGS1, 2 and 3 are all brilliant.

 

[liverpool1287]

you being serious? mgs2 was shit, a complete let down to the series. guns of patriots will be awesome though.

It's great but it's annoying going back for the keys.
It took me ages to defeat ray when I was younger.
