    That's probably part of your own personal link, sometimes download managers don't correctly name them. Try naming it to metalgearsolidetc.7z, and then extract it.

    so disc 1 works? it sounds like a configuration issue, what version of ePSXe and what plugins are you using?

    There is now way to fix this at the moment, BUT you can use take a save state OR a regular mem card save then transfer to a DIFFERENT emulator and then switch to disk 2 then switch back to your original emulator then load save state/mem card file and play without problems. The problem is you have to beat it in one go. If you save or exit emulator it will crash. Can't use save states either, it will mess up the game permanently.

    .sub comes standard with .img. Make sure they are in the same folder too.
