I'm sorry bro, but the whole game is about conspirations 
The game may be about whatever you want. This is real life.
i understand your point because .... shit! this is a peacefull MSX forum suddenly invaded by tinfoil hatters like me
No, you're misunderstanding me. I love the fact that new people are showing interest in the MSX, whether it's because of a game or for any other reason. This place has become too elitist and unwelcome to new users: long-timers are assuming that everybody knows about everything.
I'm happy to see new people here. The noisier, the better. :-)
i won't copypaste what i said in reddit about this matter, just look my nick there and you will see Hope you understand the obsession that we, fans of metal gear, have to solve this puzzle.
I understand, but I think you're overestimating the depth of this puzzle. Kojima used the Portopia game in the first version of the tape. He got caught and Konami changed the audio to the one from the Metal Gear ROM. That's where this particular puzzle ends. It's solved.
Suggesting that changing certain bytes in the ROM header of a game released 28 years ago would affect the game in any meaningful way is way, way too much.
I didn't have MSX as a child, but i had a few spectrums, a POKE was a way to tamper with RAM values AFTER the game loads in a similar way as how cheat engine works with PC nowadays, that's why i suggested that.
Yes. We did the same on MSX games that loaded from tape or disk. You can change values in RAM before executing the binary. However, Metal Gear was a ROM cartridge. The game itself didn't reside on the computer's RAM, but on a ROM chip in the cartridge from where it ran. You can't modify a ROM.
There's need to be rude for just a suggestion Specially since I think i have been friendly with this community in my SOLE comment if I haven't, i'm sorry, because i'm not a native english speaker, so mistakes may or may not have happened
I wasn't trying to be rude. If that's what it sounded like, I apologize. And I'm not a native English speaker either. :-)
hi to all.
and thank you all for working to solve this riddle.
i have two questions from you maybe these point you to something:
first we have a sony bitcorder in final cutscene that venom puts the tape in it.and while playing the bitcorder showing a number going up from 715 to 716.do any of you msx guys knows what is that???
and the second question i have:do we have a tape like that in reality???i mean one side of tape is playabe with a walkman but another side of that tape is not playable with music player and it just plays with bitcorder or something else
