Disc Swap Fix
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




For anyone who is playing the PSX port to PSP of Metal Gear Solid. You may have encountered the problem of how to Insert Disc 2 after you've beaten Sniper Wolf a second time.

What you need: PSP V3.03 oe-b or higher; Metal Gear Solid Disc 1 & 2 eboots; CWCheat (see below); & Your Thinking Cap.

What to Do:
1.)First thing you need is to download this modified folder of CWCheat. and place it in the Root of your Memory Stick.
Download: Here
"OR" if you already use CWCheat then just open the cheatpops.db from your seplugins folder in Notepad and add these lines to the end of it.
_S slus_00776
_G Metal Gear Solid Disc 2
_C0 Disc Swap Fix A
_L 800B7518 0002
_C0 Disc Swap Fix B
_L 800B7520 0002

2.) Enable the CWCheat by starting the PSP in Recovery Mode (Hold the "R" Shoulder Button during startup). Navigate to Plugins and Enable "CWCheatpops.prx". Then exit and Boot as normal.
Note: Anytime you change settings in the Recovery Menu you run the chance of Bricking your PSP. BE CAREFUL!

3.)Play MGS Disc 1 until you go through the Lvl.6 door in the Snowfield. Don't go down the stairs, save your game, then quit. Put the Disc 2 EBOOT on your memory stick if you haven't already.

4.)Start Disc 2 and before you load your game hold "Select" for a few seconds to bring up the CWCheat Menu. From here go to Select Cheats and enable one of the two cheats availible (be sure to enable cheats from the main menu also).

5.)load your Disc 1 save. If it doesn't work try enabling the other cheat from the CWCheat menu. Now run back into the Comm. Tower, and back out into the Snowfield, then continue down the stairs into Disc 2. Once your in the Blast Furnace you can continue playing.

Note: Once you are past the Snowfield and into the Blast Furnace you won't need to use the CWCheat again so long as you save it. The only time you need to do this is when switching between Disc 1 and Disc 2.

Alternate Psycho Mantis Strategy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You cannot trade controller ports here so do this method.

When: when fighting Psycho Mantis
Effect: kills Psycho Mantis without him dodging your bullets
How: phone Campbell when Mantis isn't controlling meryl and keep on phoning him until he says he has the answer then get off the phone ,press start and do what he told you to do

This should allow you to break the 2 Statues in the top Corners (ideally by shooting them), Thus preventing Psycho Mantis from reading your mind.
