Key points
- Called Metal Gear Solid in packaging but is called Metal Gear Solid: Integral in the title screen.
- Expanded version of Metal Gear Solid, which was previously exclusive to the PlayStation and unavailable outside of Japan, featuring various extras and gameplay enhancements. The PC version has a set of two executables:
mgsi.exe
for the base game andmgsvr.exe
for the VR Missions. - Music and sound effects are lower quality than the PlayStation version, and some tracks are missing. Certain sound clips play back at the wrong pitch, and framebuffer effects such as motion blur or depth of field are not displayed correctly.[1]
General information
Availability
Source | DRM | Notes | Keys | OS |
---|---|---|---|---|
Retail | SafeDisc DRM[Note 1] | |||
GOG.com | English version only. When prompted to check the back of the CD case, check the store page instead. |
- SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows Vista and later (see above for affected versions).
- Demo of the original 2000 release can be found here.
Version differences
- The GOG.com version fixes compatibility issues of the original 2000 release running under modern Windows operating systems.[4]
Essential Improvements
Bring back PlayStation subtitle font
- By default, the PC port uses Arial for its subtitles and its resolution is tied to the one the game is running at. The PS1 original uses Helvetica rendered at the same resolution as the rest of the artwork.
Use the -notruetype command line arguments
|
---|
Disable Bilinear Filtering
- Removes the filtering from all textures making the game look the way it does on PlayStation.
Use the -nofilter command line arguments
|
---|
Mods
MDX Restoration
- An on-going project to fix the issues with the game's audio.
- Music is significantly higher quality and tracks that didn't loop properly now do.
- Doesn't bring back the boss fight theme that remains unused in the game's files.

- Tested with the GOG.com version, and even with MSAA disabled through its DirectX configuration tool, some of the game's text would get stray pixels from upscaling the game to a resolution it wasn't designed for (e.g. 1080p).
