Will it be on actual hardware? If not, will there be a designated emulator, such as blueMSX?
Also let's share notes on the rerouting :)
I have been planning to buy a Japanese MSX2 and cart (the ¤original¤ version) for a long time, so I have put off practice since I would rather play on console. But now that I finished the TAS and it will probably still be a while until I get the console, I may as well just play on the emulator. Since I used openMSX for the TAS, I will use it for speedrunning since I am now TASing Metal Gear 2. I suppose blueMSX would be okay as well; I assume it would be as accurate, but I don't know much about it.
As for route planning, I imagine it will be as close to the TAS ( http://tasvideos.org/2974M.html ) as possible. Obviously ration usage and item drops will have to be different, and of course the scorpions.
Good news everyone. The testing has concluded and thus far no difference in movement speeds for the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 Versions of Metal Gear MSX have been found. The movement speed is the same as HD Collection and PS2 NTSC speeds. That's why you can now submit your Metal Gear
