Game description: Snake returns in the stealthy action title, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Take on the role of a one-man army determined to stop a deadly high-tech weapon from falling into the hands of a highly elite resistance group called Dead Cell. Encounter familiar faces including Revolver Ocelot and battle the new war machine, Metal Gear Ray. This time around, enemies are more aware and agile, so you must use your skills in stealth, weaponry, and counter-terrorism to fight off the competing powers.

| NTSC-U/PAL | ? |
|
0.9.8 (RC r4563) | GSdx (r4459) |
|
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 |
| NTSC-U | Windows |
|
1.1.0 (r5492) | GSdx SSE41 (r5464) |
|
Runs above full speed. | |
| NTSC-U | Windows |
|
1.1.0 (r5800) | GSdx SSSE3 (r5800) |
|
Game works at decent speed and stable. | |
| PAL | Windows |
|
1.1.0 (r5829)
|
GSdx |
|
Europe v01.70(27/02/2003), Goes from Ingame to Playable. Game is quite GS heavy, so a powerful graphics card is recommended. Slowdowns seem limited to cutscenes. | |
| NTSC-U | Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (SP1) |
|
1.3.0 (git 704) |
|
BIOS: USA 2.30, ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO, 6GB DDR3-1333, 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 | |
| NTSC-U | Windows 10 x64 1909 |
|
1.7.0-20200609215006
|
GSdx 20160105132032 (MSVC 19.00, AVX)
|
|
BIOS: USA v02.00, Full playthrough is possible (with Xbox 360 wireless controller via Steam Link, with some workarounds due to the lack of pressure sensitive buttons), awful slowdowns during some cutscenes (sometimes for inexplicable reasons because not much seems to be happening on screen), strange slowdowns (to about 45fps) when holding the girl's hand, some boss fights slow down to about 15 to 45fps, and slowdowns when the attack team comes storming in. | kontenterrorist |
