its been on my mind for a month or two now and putting together a fancy gba is probably gonna be my christmas gift to myself :)


awesome. I also recommend the audio amp mod, you can hear it from two rooms over but it's a bit of a pain to install and also increases the cost by like $30 so it's not for everyone

Let me know if you need any links for the stuff you gotta buy. It can get a bit confusing.

PlayStation 2 DVD Player Exploit. This allows you to burn your own PlayStation 2 homebrew discs and play them on an unmodified console as seen in the demo video. With uLaunchELF as the initial program, users can include multiple homebrew programs on the same disc.

Yeah I think they just say homebrew to cover their rear end or something. Or you might need a homebrew wrapper to boot games properly. It's a cool new way to play hacked stuff on a PS2 without much modding work at least, and people will add more stuff over time

I think there was an unmodded way to load games off of an external HDD but it's still cool that you can do it straight vanilla now.

If you have a Free McBoot memory card (you can buy them online for like $10) you can load off a hard drive or even off a network share. It works great

i think the big difference with this is this just works on any ps2 while with that you need at the least a hacked memory card to bootstrap your way in

MGS3 is one of the best games of all time for sure... and there's a lot of stuff in 4 and 5 that reference it

You still need to beat Metal Gear (NES) so start there.

Solid 3 is the best one. Some people might say play Solid 1 first to understand the context of the game itself, even if you don't really understand the story. I think they're available on the PS4 legacy collection.

Get the Legacy collection on PS3 and play all of them. MG1 and 2 kick rear end, as well as MGS1, which became my favorite probably.

With Metal Gear July coming up, people should definitely think about playing PW for the first time if they haven't already. It's like the proof of concept for the ideas behind V, and it's also got the best theme of any of the games (sorry Snake Eater).

There’s not really a bad MG game imo. I haven’t played MGS 4 or Revengeance so my statement doesn’t apply to those.

trying to beat missions with just the banana was awesome and I was bummed out when MGSV didn't have something similar.

There's a PC mod for V that makes every single mission a subsistence mission which is absolutely the way that game should be played on a subsequent playthrough. gently caress Konami.
