___________________________________________________
1) Installation
In order to apply the patch, you must already have Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
installed onto your computer.
In the archive that you have extracted, there will be one executable file named
"mgs2patch v2.0.exe"; double-click on the executable to begin installation of the
patch. The patch will automatically detect where Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance is
installed, however it is always best to confirm that the directory path is correct.
Click on "Install" to apply the patch. After the patch has been applied, click
"OK" to confirm. You are now ready to play Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance.
***NOTE***
-- If you have previously updated to the v1.0 patch, you will need to uninstall and
reinstall the game before applying the v2.0 patch. Your savedata will not be
deleted during the uninstall, and you will be able to resume gameplay from the
point you left off, as long as you reinstall the game to the same directory where
it was previously installed.
-- It is NOT recommended that you delete any files from the bin directory in the
install folder prior to installing the patch. Doing so may result in an incomplete
or incorrect update, and the game may not function. The best way to remove old
files is by performing a complete uninstallation and reinstallation of the game.
___________________________________________________
Now that you've installed the patch, there are several ways to begin playing:
- The Autorun screen will appear each time you insert the DVD into your DVD-ROM
drive. Click RUN to play the game.
- You may also begin the game by clicking on the Windows START button, and
selecting Programs>Konami>METAL GEAR SOLID2 SUBSTANCE>METAL GEAR SOLID2 SUBSTANCE.
- If you chose to add a desktop shortcut during installation, double-click the
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance icon on your desktop.
Note: You will need to have the DVD in your DVD-ROM drive in order to play Metal
Gear Solid 2: Substance.
___________________________________________________
If you need to uninstall Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, you may do the following:
Click on the START button, go to Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and
remove METALGEARSOLID2 SUBSTANCE.
