I'm proud to announce that we here at SaveMGO finally have MGO2 working on Official Firmware, along with MGO's final version, the 1.36 update!
This means that anyone on official firmware, meaning any PS3 console, will soon be able to play MGO2.
This is accomplished by restoring a custom backup from USB.
This method uses files to spoof MGS4's Game Data version to 2.00, to circumvent the Trophy update, and to replace the URLs within the game to connect to our servers.
This update will include the 1.36 update, as we currently aren't able to use the original in-game updater.
All you will need is a USB flashdrive with enough space for the backup (about 6GB, may increase later), and a copy of NA MGS4 or EU MGS4.
At this time, we only have the 1.36 update for NA and EU, but if you have the 1.36 update for JP MGS4 or JP MGO, then please contact us.
The game is still region-locked but we will be looking into methods to bypass the lock.
In addition, we have also figured out they key to getting 1.36 working again.
If you remember, this update changed Drebin prices, changed skills, increased runner speeds, added anti-cheating measures, and removed the lag nade (invisible grenade) phenomenon.
