Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots [BLES00246]

Also I am really interested how will you handle the flashback sequence. I imagine that will be one of the hardest things to implement.

What/why?

The game calls PS3's internal PS1 emulator to launch MGS1
AFAIK not even PPSSPP supports POPS.

So you'll most likely need dump of the emulator ie. ps1_emu itself and then make it work.

When the game finally boots to menu I'll try my save which is literally right before the flashback sequence.

Have you found a solution yet on how to make MGS4 playable on PS3 You better not give up on me DAMNIT!

what are you talking about? Developers can't just do this game playable for you or someone else, because they make an emulator, not certain game for emulator.

Just wait for 2-3 years for possibility play it...(maybe)
