Sent.

ePSXe 1.7 with P.E.Op.S. 1.18 works best for me, but the credits display all weird.

for anyone else here's where i found mine

@slowbeef: you had a look at the "debug mode" video setting yet? (w/e is toggled w/F12) found some plugin on ngemu that's supposed to be a sort of debugger wrapper but i cannot get it to detect the other gpu plugins :(

Yep. I even have video of both the end credits and what VRAM is doing during it.

Do you guys have a dump of where exactly the PlayStation emulator crashes? Maybe running PCSX through gdb will give us all a hint.

pSX is the one that crashes. It's not a core dump, it's a specific memory dump you're supposed to send to pSX Author. I posted on the pSX forums about, but no word.

Unrelated, but April 30th was the day that the Big Shell incident occurred! I.E., if MGS was actually happening, Manhattan's in for shit.

unrelated some more! I play MGS2 on April 30th so I can feel like I'm Raiden having Rose ask me "Do you know what day is it today?" and a hypothetical giant turtle crash into Liberty Hall in reality.

Artemio. You are a funny man!

Slowbeef. I love you for being so active in the forums letting us know the scoop.

It's a daily routine for me to read on this board. sorry. I know my posts seem useless. But I really do love what everyone is doing so far. I wish I could constructively contribute. I tried with the poems and the epsxe talk. :(

akor I can honestly say you never cease to surprise me with your posting.

If I ever meet Hideo Kojima, I will be sure to tell him to never give up and maybe even back up his data. Hopefully this will be before strangling him to death for making his game such a pain in the ass to modify. "Compressed graphics, you motherfucker, just make it eight discs why don't you- akor1108 says hi FROM HELL."

Be sure to release this patch someday... or someone won't live long to tell
(that's the feeling I get everytime I read this akor guy)

I'm pretty sure that if the patch doesn't come out, Akor will become the world's greatest An Hero.

This is funny! I have never been received so "well"! I promise this is the last poem I post, and this is relevant to MGS3. Think about it as what the Boss might say to Snake after the final fight. it goes to the tune of Gun's and Roses sweet child O'mine. So I find it quite fitting. :) I won't do this again. I promise, or you can banish me. I only wish to inspire! This thread is interesting enough! Here I go... *ehem* it's called Anew ...


Open up your feelings
And express your pain…
Remind me of times
When you were happy again
And… don't let the world turn you
Upside down...

Feel free to cry
And empty your soul…
My shoulders hold your
Burdens old,
But only you
Can change…
That ugly frown...

The Joy, the Sorrow,
The Pain, the Fear…
The Fury that engulfs one
When the End is near-
And the only person
To hold you dear
Is your guardian angel
Over here.

Life's still living,
The heart's forever loving,
The time's still ticking
When the dark's still coming,
And the mind's still thinking
Of all the days…
Where places were stages
For the most amazing-
Acts of kindness,
Or words unjust:
It's better said
Than kept pent up.
And... the past's behind us,
Our future's ahead…
A new day awaits
When you make your bed.
You are
And will always be
Sweet child O’mine…


I seriously just want to be able to contribute something to this board that might be useful. I'm done. honest. I go on haitus now. ;) This is my gift to all of you for tolerating me!

They're talking about us on Destructoid...

There was a write up on Snatcher and in the comments someone suggested the writer was gearing up for Policenauts coverage.

Good to know we don't live in a bubble here, but we might have to put akor in the basement when the dinner guests arrive, heh.

Kinda funny how this account was created after MetalGearAlex got banned, and now they're sporting the same signature...coincidence?
Life and Death hang in perfect balance...I'm only here to tip the scales.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the hard work you have put in on this translation project.

I have wanted to play this for a while now in English, so I am very grateful for the way it appears to be going and how thorough you appear to be with your translation work.. It's great to see that you're incredibly passionate about it and want to deliver an efficient end product to the fans.

Thank you!

Being Kojima fans, we can see through the disguise. :)

But he did in fact admit he was MetalGearAlex a couple of months back, actually, because I remember him saying "I'll behave this time, I promise". :lol:

OF COARSE!! Just look at Charlie Johnson's and akor's signatures...Lilu and a poorly drawn snake. What do these things have in common?...Well, neither of them are wearing any clothes...Eureka!

Wow, a twist that would do Kojima himself proud, Charlie!

Now, if there is some sort of massive conspiracy going on, then it would be even more perfect. :D

And double-posting.

EDIT: New Page, you ruined the effectiveness of my post.

To avoid becoming a nuisance, I'll also mention that I've got an Obscure Games topic going on in General Gaming. I encourage conversation and contributions. (After all, didn't obscure games bring us here in the first place?)
