BIOS: USA v2.00, running near full speed. Requires a powerful PC. It's worth mention that MGS2:SoL requires PS2's pressure sensitive controls, so a PS2 controller is almost a necessity. | Machina |

Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), MTVU, INTC Spin Detection, Enable Wait Loop Detection, mVU Flag Hack, Goes from Ingame to Playable. Game is quite GS heavy, so a powerful graphics card is recommended. Slowdowns seem limited to cutscenes. | |

BIOS: USA 2.30, Requires a powerful computer to run at fullspeed, and even then there's still some slowdowns. Also requires fiddling with sensitivity on controller settings as well if you want to properly play this game. (When holding up enemies, etc). Pressure-sensitive controller recommended! | Ryudo |
