Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Fix

This is a fix that adds custom resolutions, analog input, mod support and more to the original Metal Gear Solid within the Master Collection.

Games Supported

• Metal Gear Solid
  
• Metal Gear / Snake's Revenge (Vol.1 Bonus Content)
  See Lyall's MGSHDFix for the other games in the collection.

Features

• Custom internal render resolution & widescreen support (MGS1).
• Borderless/windowed mode.
• Control over built-in filters and Master Collection game patches.
• Analog input (MGS1).
• Launcher skip (MGS1, boots last launched game version).
• Skip intro logos.
• Modding support (MGS1, via Ketchup - see below).
• Debug features (including stage select menu in MGS1).

Installation

• Grab the latest release of MGSM2Fix from here.
• Make sure to download the correct zip for the game. A separate fix is required for Bonus Content as it's 64 bit, while MGS1 is 32 bit.
• Extract the contents of the release zip in to the game folder.
  (e.g. "steamapps\common\MGS1" or "steamapps\common\MGS Master Collection Bonus Content" for Steam).

Steam Deck/Linux additional instructions

• Open up the Steam properties of MGS1 and put WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11=n,b" %command% in the launch options.

Configuration

• See MGSM2Fix.ini to adjust settings for the fix.

Analog (MGS 1)

Modding (MGS 1; Ketchup)

'Ketchup' is a mod loader for MGS1 in the Master Collection.

It currently supports PPF3 format mods to each ISO under the following folders in the "steamapps\common\MGS1" directory:

  mods\INTEGRAL\INTEGRAL\0\
  mods\INTEGRAL\INTEGRAL\1\
  mods\INTEGRAL\VR-DISK\
  mods\VR-DISK_US\
  mods\VR-DISK_EU\
  mods\MGS1_JP\0\
  mods\MGS1_JP\1\
  mods\MGS1_US\0\
  mods\MGS1_US\1\
  mods\MGS1_UK\0\
  mods\MGS1_UK\1\
  mods\MGS1_DE\0\
  mods\MGS1_DE\1\
  mods\MGS1_FR\0\
  mods\MGS1_FR\1\
  mods\MGS1_IT\0\
  mods\MGS1_IT\1\
  mods\MGS1_ES\0\
  mods\MGS1_ES\1\

Where 0 and 1 refer to disk 1 and disk 2 respectively.

See makeppf for creating PPF3 patches/mods. PPF3 mods derived from original PSX CD releases should work correctly with Master Collection.

If your mods conflict with the built-in Master Collection patches, for the time being it may be useful to enable the DisableRAM and DisableCDROM settings in MGSM2Fix.ini. Once all of the Master Collection patches have been identified and grouped (please help, there are lots!) this heavy-handed approach should no longer be necessary.

Additional mod formats may be supported in future.

Known Issues
