Metal Gear Remix v1.995

I've noticed it before, the rate of the text display was set this way from the game's development. Not sure whether the speed of this specific message was intentional by the developers or just a long-lost bug of some sort. Outside of the text itself, the script system only determines message box sizes and whether to prompt the player for next page of text or not. There's no speed setting in that area, so it'll be somewhere else in the assembly. I believe it will be specified by the room. I'm looking at GuillianSeed's dissassembly on github for some clues.

I'll try a build that asks for a player prompt, rather than a timed message and see if it changes. The message almost acts like the player has already pressed the space button to speed up the message or something similar. Will reply when I know more.

Very cool you have made this update and tweaking it.

One question I had with regards to one of the passwords; DS 4 gives you the highest rank. Do you have any idea what DS refers to?

My guesstimate is it's the transliteration of DeSuYo/DeSuYon ("that's the thing"). 4=yo is often used for Japanese puns, and it gets along with the fact other passwords aren't serious. At least DS can't be the Disk Station that wasn't released then

The message positions won't have changed. The hack is just modification of the script area and the font, the rest of the game code is unaltered. Remember that Diane won't be reachable in some boss areas after the boss is dead. I also notice that about Schneider. Sometimes he is set to answer in the same room that someone mentions a needed item and others just outside the room. Not sure what the logic was behind that. When I'm playing, I'll call in the room where a prisoner mentions something and then if Schneider doesn't answer, I'll call in the room outside.

I'm really curious about it, but I wouldn't want to mess with it in the game. It's too much of a change, even for me.

When I originally had the idea, yes, I was thinking Jack/Snake. I'm actually playing through MGS5 for the first time now, haha. I'm not aware of the details on Venom Snake, other than I've gotten the impression that he is a clone or duplicate of Jack. I'll have to finish the game and think on it. I really like the addition and I don't want to lose it, but if it doesn't make sense after I learn what's in MGS5, then I'll have to.

Nop... No problem here. I can control Snake without any problem using OpenMSX 0.15. Maybe a problem with your pathed version? You could try downloading the one from my download site to see of that solves the issue.
