It took a modder just hours to make a tool that would render Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 at higher resolutions.

After a lot of confusing messaging from Konami, Metal Gear fans discovered that the HD versions of Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 included in the Master Collection would render at 720p on PC, making for a poor-quality image on higher resolution displays. Luckily, it took a modder just hours to remedy the problem, PC Gamer reports.

The MGSResolutionPatch, which is just 64.5 kilobytes, was released to GitHub by Sergeanur not long after the collection released. The mod is recommended for resolutions 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, though Sergeanur notes that other resolutions may also be compatible with the tool, so you might as well try out other combinations.

While the mod is compatible with the emulated versions of both Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 that were shipped with the Master Collection, Sergeanur notes that increasing the resolution in MGS2 will result in noticeable bugs to the UI--though it's likely this will be fixed by modders sooner or later, too.

Installing the mod requires another tool from GitHub called Ultimate ASI Loader, but otherwise is a simple process you can check out on the mod page. Once installed, players can input their desired resolution using a text editor.

The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection has been generally well-reviewed by critics including GameSpot, with reviewer Richard Wakeling scoring
