Metal Gear solid 1: Psycho Mantis on ePSXe

I need help defeating the boss Psycho Mantis; for those of you who don't know, this guy "reads your mind" and is virtually impossible to beat unless you put your controller into another port.I cannot figure out how to accomplish this using ePSXe keyboard controls.any help is appreciated, thanks in advance and plase keep any snide remarks to yourself ::)

reconfigure your gamepad to pad 2

use pad 2 to beat him with your fist! :)

thank you. It turns out that I deleted MGS out of frustration (and because I needed the disk space) before thinking to post this, so it'll be a while before I get a chance to try that out :P.that being said, what is the best configuration of plugins/settings to play MGS so that the video/audio doesn't skip, I had that problem when I started playing it again.Also, sometimes when I'm detected, the alarm noise keeps playing even after the danger has past. It's really annoying and to stop it I tried pressing esc, then run, but that just cuts off the audio completely!

yep...sometimes games make us stress enough rather than release the stress...heheh
i usually use pete's OpenGL2 Video with Eternal plugin audio....
if the audio is mute after you resume...esc again and resume it again....cheers :)

I was wondering this same thing myself before I got to Mantis. My question is, it wont let me change any config settings if Im in the middle of playing a game, I have to pretty much close the emulator down and reopen it before I can change and settings. Im guessing I use Save State when I have to change then restart it and change Pads, then open the game and Load State.Anyone have a better idea cause this is kind of time consuming, plus I dont always trust Save/Load State on these emulators

Just configure a second controller, even as the keyboard, and use it for this one point in the game.

[me=mds64]facepalms[/me]Always back up your games-or you could have burnt it off as a disk-epsxe does use those ;)My 1TB hard drive shows how much I back up-heck most of the psx games are burnt and saved on the hard drive-just incase the disk break for some strange reason.If you taken the time to download such content..might as well save it-disk or external drive-save it-never just delete it.Just saying is all :)
