Lol yeah, I have Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9 on my psp as digital versions and I had to chenge discs in that quite a number of times.

ThatKid.. Wow..FF 7 has what, 3 discs?  hahahahah

Hey, I'm 13!

Don't blame me if I'm used to having blu-ray discs holding all of a game, and then having 20 gigs to spare!

GH: Try four.

4 discs?  Wow!

but swapping physical discs would involve getting off the couch.  Since, i never had a problem getting off the couch, i guess it doesnt matter.

Transmet:   Hahahaha...I need the exercise.

Hey, thanks for postng this.  I have yet to buy a multi-disc PS1 game and I was always curious to know how changing discs works.

Jamie:  You also have to change the controller settings from digital to analog to use the analog sticks.

And some games don't support analog, like WIld Arms 2.

I think my digital Tomb Raider 3 doesnt support analog either.

That pissed my brother off SOOOO much when he rented from Blockbuster and they only gave it to you one disc at a time, plus I think there was a code on the CD case you needed that wasn't on those Blockbuster cases. lol

Oh, and I thought you might like this.

Joe:  Crap, you wouldnt even be able to finish the game with one disc...what a rip-off. The code is 140.15    hahahhaah...but I have it memorized!

Joe:  That's pretty cool......I've never seen that!

Well I dont have to worry cause I only play physicle disc no digital for me If I buy a game i want to see it lol.well unless it an XBLA then I will download it but thats it, thats where I draw the line

Lee:  I've bought quite a few PSone classics...but this game was free when I bought the MGSHD Edition from Japan.

You have to change virtual discs?  That's crazy. 

James....That's exactly what Im thinking...hahahah

Part of the reason I bought the digital copy of Legend of Dragoon from PSN was because my PS3 didn't always like to load the physical discs after I switched them. I'm glad I sill have my PS1.

Tami:  I got this game for free, but I still bought the US digital version even though I have 2 complete physical copies. So I have 4 MGS1 games...5, if you count Twin Snakes

The only trouble I had with it on my recent playthrough was trying to remember Meryl's codec #. Argh.

Coolsetzer:  Yeah Hideo sure pulled a fast one with that codec numbert, being on back of the disc case...hahahahah

I have a couple of games on psn that require virtual disc switching. It really is odd when you think about it. This is a dumb question... but how do you play MGS in japanese?

Aaron:  I've played MGS so many times in english, I dont need to understand the language to know what they are saying...hahahahah

You get the same issue on Square's PS1 RPGs if you play the downloadable versions. And some of those suckers are four discs long!

Andrew:  You would think they could package it as a whole game...maybe they are just trying to recreate the feel of playing an old PSone game?   4 discs is too many!

Oh man, from swaping physical dics to swaping virtual discks.

Yeah, what an age we live in, huh, GH? Wonder what they'll think of next :)

Damn it JD. Get a grip!

That's friggin hilarious, modern tech indeed. Playing a Policenauts fan-translation and finished it. Kojima needs to go back to those older games.

Viewtiful: yeah, High Tech virtual discs..... I agree, Hideo needs to go retro!

Switching the virtual disc, I only had to do that with Resident Evil 2. Some Xbox 360 games will remind you of the old days.lol

Randy:  I have RE2 digital, so I'll look for that. And i forgot, the 360 doesnt use blu-ray

That's interesting how they do that. I like how they kept it close to having the physical discs but what did they do about the number on the back of the case? I have to say I have a couple of these Virtual PS1 games but I've never played through to see this screen. 

Chris: Interesting about the codec number, I guess you would have to googel it?

I saw that 'option' with Xenogears and Legend of Dragoon on my PS3.

I just think it's wierd that we have to 'change' discs, and it wasn't all lumped together as one file.

However, I really don't understand how the emulation works for the PSN, so I can't really go on judging and questioning how things are done I suppose!

Yargz:  yeah, I guess it's an emulation tech thingy...I kinda wish it would just play as one disc.

They have some guy in a booth somewhere frantically changing disks! I always wondered about the one where it's packaged like a PS2 game. Came in some bundle. It says PS1 and everything on front. Does it have 2 disks? Or did they somehow get it onto one?

Wayde:  The bundle you're  thinking of is the MGS Essentials Collection for the PS2, and yes, the MGS1 is 2 disc, but what it doesnt say on the box is that you have to have a PS1 memory card to save the game.

How odd that is. I think the original case is much better. I saw that one and it just looked so bland. They did a classic game like MGS no justice with that packaging.
