Metal Gear Solid 3 - Subsistence PAL issues
#1
Hi everyone! 

I'm a newbie in emulation and it's my first time with PCSX2. After playing the first two episodes of the saga, that have a PC version, i would like to continue with MGS3 in his Subsistence version [SLES-82044] [5E31EA42] using the ISO file.  Searching around the Internet i find a lot of videos/guides that show a great emulation of the game but in his NTSC version using the widescreen hack; i tried to follow the instruction I find but I really don't know a starting point from which I would start my test to reach the maximum performance using this PC

My Configuration

- Windows 10
- Intel i5-6600K
- GTX 960 4GB
- 8 GB of RAM
- PCSX2 v1.5.0-dev-2292-g10ebe1665

I tried to switch from OpenGL/Direct3D and HW/SW mode but I really don't knows which option I should set in the hardware Renderer Setting. Just for info I used a the widescreen hack taken from the NTSC and added into my configuration just changing the pnach name file and I modified the FrameratePAL to 60.00 in PCSX2_vm.ini file to move from the original 50fps PAL (this one works, the widescreen hack seem to be loaded but i really can't know if it really works).

My issues are :

- Framerate at 60FPS except for some part of cutscenes, START menu (where you could set the camouflage) and sometimes in the codec where it drops to 30FPS or little more.
- Codec : you should see Snake blurred, I see him as in the game.
- Sound : sometimes seems that voice slows the framerate (but i can't state it for sure)

My goal is to run the game as smooth as possible at the best graphic possible, so I ask for your help Smile

Thanks for the attention!

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

I can't find the folder you said, there's only a log file in my installation folder but empty, so I save the log directly from the register after the opening video, a menu selection and a codec call.

Delete the file from your cheats_ws. It won't work and will likely break your game at some point. A widescreen hack for this game is available by default in the cheats_ws.zip archive.

Setting the framerate to 60 like that will not make the game run at native 60 FPS. It will run at 120% the normal speed.

I deleted the myself created file in the cheats_ws folder but there's no trace of a similar one in the zip you mentioned : I extracted all the pnach files from that and move them into the folder to be sure, but no files are loaded as we can see from the log

As you say, if I want to play the game in italian, I have to play it at 50FPS?

You don't "have" to, but if you run it at 60fps it will speed the game up. PAL games all run at 50fps, 60 isn't a magic number that has to be reached.

All PAL games run in 50 Hz mode will run at 50 Hz. MGS3(S) actually runs at 25 FPS.

It turns out your specific version isn't included in the archive yet, but other PAL versions are.

Create a new 5E31EA42.pnach in cheats_ws folder and just add the following line:
patch=1,EE,20205D4C,extended,3F400000

I know that, I didn't want to confuse him. Please stop nitpicking at my posts, it's getting irritating now.

You are confusing people by sharing false information.

Don't argue for me! Smile

@refraction : i know that, I'm just trying, if possible, to run the game at 60fps and I find that solution. I don't know if it was the best, but if this breaks the game I'll return to 50fps as PAL games usually works.

@FlatOut : what you suggest is what i had done before you tell me to delete the file Smile
