i just got it...but its 2 dvds and reading the nfo dont make much sense....any idea if this has to be burnt a different way ?
i have burnt it as normal but it just wont boot

u havt to install on xbox harddrive dont ya? and it has to be a bigger hard drive than standard too

MGS 2 is ona dvd-9, which holds 2x what a dvdr or dvd-rw can hold, so basically you can't burn it onto 1 disc to play, gotta be run from the hard drive, and since the game is bigger than the largest partition on the xbox original hard drive (around 4 gigs I think) you need a bigger hard drive too.

any method to make it fit in the standard HD?

No compression stuff to run games.

Just upgrade your HD or buy the game

is there no way of shifting around the space on each partition?

i was ready to start testing this game and making it 2 dvds, 1 for the game, and one for the vr missions and extras, but the newsgroup had incomplete files and the pars were missing. until i get to rent it, the bigger hard drive is the only way

can we fit it onto one dvdr if we cut out the extras such as movies and music

it wont work on a xbox with 10gb harddrive?

MGS will not work without an upgraded drive. I'm pretty sure that if it was possible it would have been done by now. Also, if you look at the iso's theres only ~6 files per disc. Looks more like a dvd with a bunch of vobs than a game, so how would you cut the vr missions out of the game if the code to run them is embedded within these ~1 gig files? The amount of effort required to put it in the regular hard drive or spit dvdrs is not even near worth the cost of the game! Think about it, you can buy it for $30-40 or you can spend the next year trying to reverse engineer 1 game.

There is a whole thread on xbox-scene about cutting it down to one dvd & nobody has managed it yet.
