I would love to see encodes of these. I don't suppose you're using the euro disks? I could rip mine in that instance.

Nope. European Extreme is an entirely different difficulty level. Plus iirc it runs at 5/6 PAL speed :( As for encodes:

(partially outdated) Part 2: http://files.filefront.com/13527449 Make sure you look through the thread first :) errror1 is my official encoder for now (since I suck at it)

the european extreme was created specifically for the europeans, who are known for their crazy skills in video games, unlike the japanese and americans who prefer easier difficulties. the european extreme might be a little too extreme even for a TAS. good job on the tas theenglishman. i'm suprised by the graphics in this game. this game looks more realistic than mgs4. it's because of the pixels. in mgs4 they didn't put any pixels in the game, so it looks like snake, meryl and everyone is made of plastic.

A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

I stumbled on this awesome screencap opportunity. Even though it's from an old version of the Mantis fight I still can't resist putting this as the potential screenshot for my run:

Huge progress today to celebrate (?) a study binge, being ever closer to exams :( Here's a truckload of new content, ending after I save in the jail cell, past the torture scene. This isn't an official WIP per se; while it's final in terms of input I want the encode to come later, when I'm at the communications tower. So for those of you not-lazy enough to have PCSX, enjoy :)

"Lazy" ? I asked for what version of the disk you were using earlier so I could see if I had a friend or someone whom had a copy, you never responded.

Sorry about that :( I'm using the original North American version, not the European one.

Awesome! my neighbor is an importer, I'm almost positive I remember seeing this disk amongst their collection.

A quick progress update: basically the game is painfully easy from jailbreak up to (sadly not including) the communications tower. I've posted a new WIP on the very first post, a temporary one, which has me saving in Nuke Building B1, in order to compare times between my run and the SDA run. Currently it's 0:37 vs. 0:43, although considering the MGS timer I'm hesitant to say I'm truly six minutes ahead. Might be more or less. I also saved a chaff in the snowfield. On the second time round there are less claymores so I can go through without using a chaff. Will submit a proper WIP in this post once I reach the communications tower. See you then! EDIT: Okay, up to the comm tower is all done. Now I need to study :(

You'd think so, but no there isn't. In fact, when Wolf's in certain positions her head won't even have a hitbox, like the last position she took before I killed (er, drove away?) her. I wanted to end it with a perfect headshot but the damn hit wouldn't register :(

For this game, it seems that Konami never believed that a perfect head-shot would do more damage than shooting the body. For that, you can't score life-ending head shots in MGS. However, you can score head shots in Syphon Filter.

Fix'd. FYI. I seem to de-sync before the communications tower. you return from the snowfield into the nuclear warhead building, go into the lift, then De-sync.

Been lurking this thread for a little while :) I'm really excited to see this game TASed. Don't worry about the speed, I have patience.... Unless you're going for Duke Nukem timescales. Oh, I loled hard Psycho Mantis part.

I have emerged from the shadows of obscurity! Here's my latest wip, up until the Hind D fight, on which I am going to be using an older-than-dirt trick to get the chopper stuck in one spot during the second half of the fight. Anyway, I would definitely appreciate an encode for this one error1, as my CPU and memory suck for this part :( I also fixed the desync a long time ago DDRKhat, so no worries there :)

Yeah, but I'm not supposed to be killed by them :( Shit, huge desync. Explaining that - Kojima ingeniously only counts "being caught" as the amount of times one goes into Alert Mode. The sentry guards are outside and can't raise the alarm, and being caught by turret cameras doesn't raise the alarm either. Genius! >_>
