I've released a new version of the MGSI Launcher for PC MGS1.
hi
===============================================================================

Metal Gear Solid Integral (PC) Launcher
1.3 Update Notes

===============================================================================

New Features & Major Changes
============================

Current Save Set added to the Save Manager:
\ Allows direct export of saves to the working save game location, without
the need to wipe it entirely and apply a profile.
\ Reorder and delete saves in the working save location.
\* Import your own saves from the game into custom Available Saves categories
for later use.

Major update to the music patch:
Now includes music for VR Missions.
Track fade-in has been eliminated, making openings for many tracks more
impactful.

New patches available in the Patch Installer:
Native Analogue & Diagonal Controls - full native support for analogue
stick controls and d-pad diagonals, without the need to use a mapping tool
such as AntiMicro[X] or DS4Windows.
Select Gamepad in Extra Options - select which gamepad is used when more
than one is connected.
Clearer Controller Options UI Text - Rewords the Controller Settings UI to
be more clear, and swap the descriptions for the weapon/item equip
functions.
Gamepad in Background - Allows you to use gamepad controls even when the
game is unfocused (clicked away from).
Audio in Background - Plays the game audio even when the game is
unfocused.
Fix Blank Save Bug - Fixes the bug in the Load Game/Save Game menu that
causes some saves to disappear, and a blank save to appear instead.

The Patch Installer now remembers which patches have been applied (once a
patch has been applied in 1.3) so they don't need to be reselected.

GoG installations can now select the Windowed Fullscreen display mode, and
set Windowed and Fullscreen modes directly in the launcher.

Windowed Fullscreen display mode can now select the game's aspect ratio, and
position it Left/Centre/Right on the screen if not stretched. The stretched
mode will cover the taskbar (true fullscreen), while non-stretched modes
will not.

The launcher will automatically check for new updates daily:
Minor changes to the Patch Installer's patch collection will be downloaded
automatically, and can be installed without needing to update MGSI
Launcher itself.
You can change how frequently update checks occur, or disable checks, in
the About dialogue.

===============================================================================

Minor Changes & Bugfixes
========================

The installation backup folder is renamed from e.g. "Backup-12345678" to a
name representative of the game install location (e.g.
"C_GOG Games_Metal Gear Solid").

Patch Installer:
Actions are now mostly asynchronous, making the UI more responsive.
Fix EXE files not being backed up correctly (UPX decompression step fails)
on oxide-NL when the Windows username contains a space.
The installer is less picky about what needs to be done before it can
apply a patch set.
By selecting no patches, "patching" will restore an unpatched version of
the game.

Fix Save Manager not opening if the SavedGames folder does not exist (e.g.
if the Save Game function has never been used).

The Mount ISO status bar button (oxide-NL only) has been replaced with a
button to wipe the gamepad binds in-game.

The Extra option -fs is now correctly described as "Force fullscreen mode",
although it may not have any effect on modern versions of the game.

Various minor UI changes.

===============================================================================

Potential Issues Updating From 1.2
==================================

On first launch, you will be prompted to auto-rename the installation backup
folder (from e.g. "Backup-12345678") to a name representative of the game
install location (e.g. "C_GOG Games_Metal Gear Solid"). If you choose Yes,
the folder will not be recognised by old versions of MGSI Launcher. If you
choose No, a new folder with default settings will be created for the new
version.

If you use the new Analogue Controls patch, you should set the in-game
direction mapping to the d-pad, not the analogue stick. You may also need to
remove any external remapping of the d-pad/stick, so the d-pad only presses
d-pad buttons and the stick only activates stick inputs.

With the new music patch, the timing on many tracks will be changed. This
may affect cues if you use the music as a timing guide.

On GOG, when launching the game, the official graphics configurator's
Presentation option will be automatically changed to match the launcher's
Display setting (Windowed Fullscreen selects the "Set by application"
option). This may cause minor changes to the launch behaviour.

On oxide-NL, the window positioning for the Windowed Fullscreen display mode
has changed.

Massive work, thanks so much! o7
The Dpad fix is so good, I can finally just use one instance of gamepadviewer!

Really nice bmn, the analog patch is a godsend. Perfect time to come back to running MGS1, gonna do some runs with it and submit later.

Yeah Analog is a long-awaiting QoL in this game. Just makes it more and more like console. Plus the unified Gamepad Viewer is nice.

Thanks hau5, appreciate it.
