How to Run Metal Gear With a PSP eBoot

The Metal Gear Solid franchise is one of the most successful video game franchises in the history of the industry. Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, revolutionized the industry with his "Tactical Espionage Action" found only in the MGS series. The first ever Metal Gear Solid game was released on the Sony PlayStation in 1998 and became in instant hit. Unfortunately, the first Metal Gear Solid game was not re-released on the PSP, but if you have already made an eboot file of the game, it can be played using the PSP's built-in PlayStation compatibility.
