• Older versions of this program have occasionally triggered false positives in antimalware software, perhaps because it reads and writes the memory of another program (mgs2_sse.exe). See VirusTotal report for the latest stable version (b4)

Instructions

• Extract the zip file to any location
• Optional: edit

  HotKeys.json

  in a text editor (or add your own profiles in files ending in

  .HotKeys.json

  ) to customise keyboard/gamepad hotkeys
• Run

  MGS2Trainer.exe

  .
• If the game is running as admin (the V's Fix game launcher does this), the trainer will need to be run as admin as well. When launched without admin in this situation, the trainer will restart itself and send a UAC admin request. To avoid this, you can go into

  Properties > Compatibiility

  for

  MGS2Trainer.exe

  and select "Run this program as an administrator".

Using with the ASI plugin

• Use the ASI plugin to launch the trainer directly from the game, and without worrying about admin privileges.
• Activate the Actions plugin at

  MGS2.Actions.ini

  .
• Find the

  [Actions.Trainer]

  section, and set the path to MGS2 Trainer, along with your keyboard/gamepad/contextmenu shortcut(s).
