|Comments=Europe v02.00(14/06/2004), INTC, Wait Loop Detection, microVU and MTVU, The only way to boot is to make an iso and load it using the internal PCSX plugin under CDVD => ISO. Game is playable in hardware mode with very small graphical glitches (background in codec is broken on both HW and SW mode). Thermal googles are broken on HW mode, showing a green picture, works in SW mode. Fps are almost constant at 50, just dropping down to 35-40 in very crowded area.

|Comments=BIOS: USA 2.30, Decided to replay this game. A few things worth noting, a microVU0 warning will pop up every now and then, but it does not seem to affect the gameplay. One gripe I do have with the game is that when you have Stealth equipped, it causes a massive slowdown in the frame rates. I can easily lose well over 10~15 FPS when Stealth is equipped on Snake/Raiden. It's really annoying playing the game with just 40 FPS, especially on the higher difficulties like Extreme. Been trying to fiddle with the GSdx options to see if something can make it run smoother, but haven't had any success yet.

|Comments=The main game - i.e. the story mode and the extra missions - runs fine. I get decent speeds on both hardware and software mode. The Skateboarding mini-game, which is accessible from the main menu, crashes PCSX2 at the loading screen. It gives the error
    ..\..\FiFo.cpp(48) : assertion failed:
    Function:  ReadFIFO_VIF1
    Thread:    EE Core
    Condition: vif1Regs.stat.FQC != 0
    Message:  FQC = 0 on VIF FIFO READ!
At this junction, I fear it may be a problem with my ISO. I may redump my disc and try again.
