Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake MSX Versions (for Windows)

Note!: The English release of Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence comes with English versions of both MSX Metal Gear games. In addition, they're based off of the Japanese mobile phone versions with added features, tweaks and graphics updates!

So for the official Kojima-blessed MSX Metal Gear experience in English, you should play the Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence versions. The mobile phone version of the first game has already arrived in the US (depending on carrier) and it's possible the sequel will follow in time.

New/updated in this release (v5 & 5.1):
1. Contains the new blueMSX v2.1 including fixed save states (very important) and more reliable cassette handling!
2. v5.1 adds a small fix that insures reliability. I also renamed the "Roms" directory to "Metal Gear Roms".


New/updated in this release (v4.0, v4.1 & v4.2):
1. Contains the new blueMSX v2.0 including fixed save states!
2. This release allows you to easily use a version of blueMSX different from the one included in this zip since the blueMSX and Metal Gear-related files are initially separated in the zip. The zip contains the latest (as of today) v2.0 of blueMSX, but will allow you to use future updates of blueMSX in it's place. So, I won't have to keep releasing a new zip every time blueMSX is updated. You can just patch it up, yourself!
3. blueMSX v2.0 no longer included the "blueGEAR" theme which was very Metal Gear-like. So, I fixed that by putting it in this release with the Metal Gear-related files and, again, made it the default theme!

5. v4.2 adds more typo fixes to v4.1.

4. Added a very Metal Gear-esque, called "blueGEAR" and made it the default theme.

1. Some additions and fixes in the "Game Controls.txt" and "Metal Gear 2 Note (Tap Codes).txt" files.


New/updated in this release (v1.0):
