I have been waiting so many years for this. Thank god the framerate was left unlocked in the original release. The frame drops broke my heart back then, but I knew that one day, emulation would let this gem shine. My heart hurt for so many years, under the impression that the Cell CPU's tricky architecture would disallow us to ever enjoy this game on PC. When I saw the game actually boot earlier this year, I knew it was only a matter of time. Thank you for doing God's work, PC gaming community.
@@ThePeacePlant There are a ton of old games that we want emulation for. Before Breath of the Wild came out, and after FF VII was released for PC; this was one of the top contenders in the community.

@All Gucci Drip I cant even get metal gear 4 to work on mine. Closest Ive got is loading into tbe first mission then locking up. I downloaded the special build that supposed to play this game well, and I couldnt figure out how to get it to work either. I got other games to work on the emulator though
@@kenadrian27 it had nothing to do with the specs of a PC but people saying no one would ever crack man made software. If its made by man, id can be fixed, repaired, cracked.
So if this runs at 60fps on your PC and considering how the past games ran. I can expect this to run at 20-30fps on mine. So finally I would be able to watch MGS4 at cinematic frame rates great
@@kevinragsdale6256 terrible...dont even bother the lag between inputs is awful...granted that was when I was on slower internet moves up to fios since then so maybe itd be better but not 60 fps smoothness lol
@@HandleNameIsStupid Im really thinking about downloading this emulator on my pc and trying it. I have a jailbroken backwards compatible ps3 I can get the metal gear 4 iso file off of if I need to.
Give it another couple of months and it'll be 100% ironed out of all bugs and able to be played in 60FPS very smoothly. People laughed at me when I said we'd be able to do this with emulation. Now we can.
This is probably the closest we could get for the PC port of MGS4. Cemu these days focuses way too much on BOTW fixes whereas RPCS3 is getting more improved with many PS3-era games being playable. Excellent job.
funny thing, i have 2 titan x pascal and Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 4.70GHz but i dont see any difference from 100% to 300% resolution scale and i play it on a 3440x1440 monitor.
Fantastic video as always, BSOD. I've got a 4790K, 1070 TI with 16GB of RAM, playing on 1440p, and I'm getting anywhere between 30-40 fps in-game, and 40-60fps on cinemas! This is awesome!
@@nalvareza I think it boils down to several things... First, we can see that this custom build clearly increases performance and now the game is running pretty much on par with the PS3. Second, having a good CPU always helps... As we have seen in other videos, the performance is much better than that of our CPU on a non-optimized build of RPCS3. Finally, a high-end GPU that can handle 4k content is a must. I'm sure in the coming months RPCS3 will have all these optimizations added to the newer builds.
Nice video but i don't know how to install and configure all this stuff. PLEASE DO A STEP BY STEP Tutorial video!! Its like unreachable for so many players that want play it on PC.
MGS 4 at almost 60fps its a dream cause it runs like shit on ps3, time to konami release an hd remaster on ps4 or maybe ps5 but they rather work on pachinko machines
@@KFPSplayer just finished 1st playthrough on ps3 and particle effects make the FPS tank. the section where you control metal gear rex and crush all the gekkos runs at like 10-15 FPS the whole time
swirls I just remember and apology for that! On emulator it runs much better BUT has crashes! Like when I wanna farm DP by destroying the little black droids on bridge before you get heated by the microwave red looking room it freezes after 20 min of farming DP :,(
Imagine a MSG4 remastered and ported to PC with the option to play online with dedicated servers! That would be a dream. And that also would be a shot in the foot for them because they produce only shit. Old games, classics, masterpieces, are always a reminder of how they turned bad with time and can only produce stupid retarded games. MGSV? MG Survive? What a joke!!
If people can do this then I hope Sony can do this with the ps5 since they have the original source code and well the original everything for the PS3, if they put enough resources to it they can have an emulator working
you are the only one that can play the game for start to finish, we have to wait a little more because i download everything and i cant pass from i can control snake when he get out of the truck
I went back and played it on my old ps3 like last month and graphics wise it still holds up really well. It shows what devs can do when they understood the cell chip set.
One X's are getting cheaper. Saw one go for £180 a while back on ebay. If anyone forgot, rd1 is a backward compatible 4k title on the one x, you just need the 360 disc (£5 ebay) But yea I hope it run better on emulators too.
Must be amazing to get and play a series as legendary as MGS for the first time, this day and age. I sure hope you are doing the saga in the release-order ? It really is the essential way of playing them for the 1st time. And yeah, while there's tons of negative memes on #4 these days, it was one helluva landmark for the long-time fans at the time, and arguably the last "true" MGS game. PW was still pretty good, especially in the HD form, but V ended up being ... not so good, to be honest. It's not even finished, ffs!
With MGS4 finally being playable, the entirety of the Metal Gear Solid series is finally playable on PC with the help of emulators. If u have a ps3, then just get the Metal Gear Solid legacy collection bundle. if not then proceed to read the following. U will be a bit confused on which version of the game to play as they were re released on many consoles and U will get a lot of recommendations online tht can sometimes be problematic, and confusing. This order and version of games should give u a really wonderful experience for the series overall. for emulation u need a hexa core and above CPU especially for RPCS3, and a decent modern GPU. (ROM sites like Coolrom should help u in getting the ROM file for the PSX and PS2 games. just don't tell any of the emulator devs on how u got the rom through this site.) *Metal Gear Solid- the PSX version and use Bettle PSX HW core in the emulator frontend Retroarch.

Just ended up buying this game just a few days ago along with the excellent All Pro Football 2K8 at a pawn shop for $5, in anticipation of MGS4 someday being playable on the emu. Timing on this development couldn't have been better. Many thanks to BSoD and to the RPCS3 devs for making it all possible for us gamers to enjoy these great console games on pc.
Thank you so much for making community with RPCS3 Team about Metal Gear Solid 4 on RPCS3 on PC to make them fix it all we want Unlocked Frame-rate and Unlocked Resolution, There's some games has break higher than 60fps which is amazing please keep it up the good doing, God Bless you and I hope you have a good life!!! :D
Lots of nostalgia for the game, and the series. But it will never be the same as my first playthrough of this game. Especially the days when MGO2 was live...those were the days! Yes yes, I know about the private server(s) that brought back MGO2(and 1) but it's just not the same. I really wanna replay the game again, but then again I know I'll just sit there in the main menu thinking of the good old days TwT
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU AND THE TEAM WHO MADE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive been trying to play this for years on rpcs3, and its just gotten worse!! It would literally, and a bit ironically, bsod my pc when attempting to download..I almost gave up! Luckily, I stumbled upon this. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing! Your PC does have fantastic specs to be fair, but this is a major leap forward. I wonder how the emulation will play out in the future? The Gamecube used to have some really difficult games way back in the day but now I can run it on an Atom processor.. only time will tell.
Definitely could use more documentation on this....runs but very poorly. Unless 3900x/9900k paired with 2080ti is the minimum requirement I'm at a loss as to the why.
Considering this game runs unlocked on original hardware and stays in 30-40 FPS range a lot of the time, seeing it run on an emulator and hitting 60 FPS so much is mesmerizing. I always wanted a high res locked 60 FPS version of this game and perhaps in a few more months this dream will come true.
Can anyone tell me how to get the Custom build of RCPS3 to work? Whenever I try to launch from the file below I get the error msg: "The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found" Any thoughts?
AMAZING VIDEO! I Have a RTX 2060 with a I7 9750H. I tried the custom build but I only got 30fps and I am having "half" sound in gameplay. What I have to change in the settings to fix this issues? Thanks for your time!
The game loads really well but when it says press X to start a new game nothing starts it? my Xbox controller works fine up until then, please help, thanks.
It's just a shame the compression on this video is so bad it may as well be sub-1080p. I know that youtube's compression sucks but there definitely is a problem on your end too. Damn, I was really looking forward to seeing this game in true 4k
The end game fight scene between Liquid Ocelot and Snake in this game is SOOOOOOOOO fucking good. I rewatch it on youtube all the time. I would love to replay this game! I have an 8700K, 1070ti, and 16GBs of RAM. I think that should be plenty huh?
I have an i7 8750h with a gtx 1060 and 16gb of ram. My fps at both 720p and 1080p is around 15-25 average with the forked build you have linked. I've followed all instructions from the guide you linked but I haven't seen a huge uptick in the fps. Is it because the of the cpu or the optimisation of the emulator? I mean my cpu is 6 cores so what do you think is the issue?
Serious question : do i need the original PS3 DISC to play the game on the emulator or can i play by just downloading the game? i cant start the game, it shows this E LDR: Invalid or unsupported file format: C:/Users/T-Gamer/Desktop/Metal Gear Solid 4/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN S LDR: Boot successful.
You can, but they may have issues outside the master releases. some games work better on this build, like Gran turismo 5, but its usually better to use master for other titles
Can't find anything on my problem, so i'll try here, i'm on act 3, I made it passed a few loading screens while following the Rebel, but the area where you have to avoid a spotlight the loading screen tries loading then freezes completely, any way I can get passed it?
Hey BSoD, quick question. Followed all instructions, yet for some reason, my audio is a little messed up. Sounds effects and music cut in and out at random (footsteps are the only somewhat consistent sound). Is there a fix or a setting that I am just forgetting to edit? Thanks in advanced

@@cameronburch2914 yeah but how do i get that to work
Respect for playing one of the most badass scenes in MGS 4!
Already above original performance, love the progress
Just ended up buying this game just a few days ago along with the excellent All Pro Football 2K8 at a pawn shop for $5, in anticipation of MGS4 someday being playable on the emu. Timing on this development couldn't have been better. Many thanks to BSoD and to the RPCS3 devs for making it all possible for us gamers to enjoy these great console games on pc.
This is great birthday news, holy cow!
I cannot believe this. Finally, MGS4 at glorious 60fps!!! Literally no reason to keep my PS3 anymore
*excited mgs fan noise*
Thank you so much for making community with RPCS3 Team about Metal Gear Solid 4 on RPCS3 on PC to make them fix it all we want Unlocked Frame-rate and Unlocked Resolution, There's some games has break higher than 60fps which is amazing please keep it up the good doing, God Bless you and I hope you have a good life!!! :D
Lots of nostalgia for the game, and the series. But it will never be the same as my first playthrough of this game. Especially the days when MGO2 was live...those were the days! Yes yes, I know about the private server(s) that brought back MGO2(and 1) but it's just not the same. I really wanna replay the game again, but then again I know I'll just sit there in the main menu thinking of the good old days TwT
I like to see your Ryzen 3700X working with emulators. Great video!
Not clunky smooth and clean so happy seeing this in 4K.
Well I know what I'm doing for my next day off. Thanks BSoD!
can't wait to get home and try this out. if it all works fine than i think u know what am doing this weekend
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU AND THE TEAM WHO MADE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive been trying to play this for years on rpcs3, and its just gotten worse!! It would literally, and a bit ironically, bsod my pc when attempting to download..I almost gave up! Luckily, I stumbled upon this. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing! Your PC does have fantastic specs to be fair, but this is a major leap forward. I wonder how the emulation will play out in the future? The Gamecube used to have some really difficult games way back in the day but now I can run it on an Atom processor.. only time will tell.
can you please make a guide about this? i followed every single step and im still getting black screen.
What are you supposed to do with the source code files with the custom build?
Definitely could use more documentation on this....runs but very poorly. Unless 3900x/9900k paired with 2080ti is the minimum requirement I'm at a loss as to the why.
I had been checking for this game's compatibility since RPCS3 was released (years)!!!!!!! Yay!
Wish you would include an already compiled version in your links section :(
Considering this game runs unlocked on original hardware and stays in 30-40 FPS range a lot of the time, seeing it run on an emulator and hitting 60 FPS so much is mesmerizing. I always wanted a high res locked 60 FPS version of this game and perhaps in a few more months this dream will come true.
i have a iso for the mgs4 but the emulator says "E LDR: Invalid or unsupported file format: G:/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN" and the game not work..
Anyone know how to get the audio working for footsteps, gunshots, and etc.?
I would LOVE for someone to make a full setup for RPCS3
how you mean full setup? how to get the RPCS3 working or the build extra for mgs4?
Konami: "You'll never see Metal Gear Solid 4 on PS4 or PC."
Fan Base: *Laughs in Kojima*
My game never ends loading after the "TV Cutscene" in the beginning
its showing the "Loading..." screen but is stuck there
Can't believe this!! Gonna try It now
Can anyone tell me how to get the Custom build of RCPS3 to work? Whenever I try to launch from the file below I get the error msg: "The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found" Any thoughts?
I get the same thing and I'm not sure why, I'm hoping I see a resolution for it soon.
AMAZING VIDEO!
I Have a RTX 2060 with a I7 9750H.
I tried the custom build but I only got 30fps and I am having "half" sound in gameplay.
What I have to change in the settings to fix this issues?
Thanks for your time!
What iso did you use, US or EU ver?
wow this has made my day its the only mgs game ave not played so I am looking forward to it
You are amazing. Great content always.
wow... to think i started playing this at 6 years old... i never thought it would look this great!
The game loads really well but when it says press X to start a new game nothing starts it? my Xbox controller works fine up until then, please help, thanks.
Fucking finally. Thanks to the guy, the rpcs3 team and you.
It's just a shame the compression on this video is so bad it may as well be sub-1080p. I know that youtube's compression sucks but there definitely is a problem on your end too. Damn, I was really looking forward to seeing this game in true 4k
I keep getting stuck on the intro commercials.Anyone else have the same problem ?
I don't know what happened but....it somehow fixed itself......didn't do anything it just started working.
@@propagandalf9511 Works intro tv scenes?
@@dudo66 Ye it works.
Sorry for my english friend ,and thanks for the answer.
Nothing to work.I'm stuck for the intro
I bought a PS3 just to play this game in 2010. Best game ever.
The end game fight scene between Liquid Ocelot and Snake in this game is SOOOOOOOOO fucking good. I rewatch it on youtube all the time. I would love to replay this game! I have an 8700K, 1070ti, and 16GBs of RAM. I think that should be plenty huh?
I have an i7 8750h with a gtx 1060 and 16gb of ram. My fps at both 720p and 1080p is around 15-25 average with the forked build you have linked. I've followed all instructions from the guide you linked but I haven't seen a huge uptick in the fps. Is it because the of the cpu or the optimisation of the emulator? I mean my cpu is 6 cores so what do you think is the issue?
I just cant believe im playing this on pc finally for one, but in 4k 60fps??????!!!!!!!!! Thank God!
You are breathtaking!
Serious question : do i need the original PS3 DISC to play the game on the emulator or can i play by just downloading the game? i cant start the game, it shows this
E LDR: Invalid or unsupported file format: C:/Users/T-Gamer/Desktop/Metal Gear Solid 4/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN
S LDR: Boot successful.
Same error here...
When using custom builds, can i still play my other games as well? (Skate 3, Persona 5, etc)
You can, but they may have issues outside the master releases. some games work better on this build, like Gran turismo 5, but its usually better to use master for other titles
GOW III seems pretty playable with this release too...testing it now
Can't find anything on my problem, so i'll try here, i'm on act 3, I made it passed a few loading screens while following the Rebel, but the area where you have to avoid a spotlight the loading screen tries loading then freezes completely, any way I can get passed it?
My 3600X + RTX2060 Super setup is coming to life next week and the first game ill play is MGS4 on RPCS3
Hey BSoD, quick question. Followed all instructions, yet for some reason, my audio is a little messed up. Sounds effects and music cut in and out at random (footsteps are the only somewhat consistent sound). Is there a fix or a setting that I am just forgetting to edit? Thanks in advanced
I know this is four years ago but how do you get the game going? Because I got everything else set except for the game how do get the game?
i can only reach the start menu, then doesnt work any controls (kb or joystick) the music still playing.
You made my day...gonna try this now
Update...had an issue where the sound stopped working & you can't press new game on the controller...any way to solve these issues 😭
Tried on i7700K GTX 1080 not working. Deleting all caches solved it.
could you please do a settings guide for this game :)
Best day on my life.
anyone know how to get it working? does the build come with the actual game?
no lol
Step by step video tutorial on settings please !
So I'm getting regular RSX crashes with the custom build of RPCS3 with MGS4. Using the BLES00246 copy of the game.
F {RSX [0x0a2b10c]} RSX: class std::runtime_error thrown: Unknown primitive type 16
(in file C:\Projects
pcs3
pcs3\Emu\RSX\gcm_enums.cpp:36)
Any ideas of how to fix? I'm running an i7-6700k on a GTX 2080ti.
So how do you install the custom RPCS3? I see nothing in the link mentioning this
Is this version made specifically for optimizing MGS4 or overall very game?
