What's the best way to play MGS3?

[I AM BAYTOR]

PS2, Xbox or PS3 emus? Can I get the game to run properly at over 60fps with true 1440p with one of those?

I played the series like that:
MGS1 - PS1 emulator (forgot which, it was a long time ago)
MGS2 - PC port with "V's fix"
MGS3 - Xenia (it's X360 emulator, runs really well, no BS with pressure sensetive buttons like on PCSX2/RPCS3. Downside is you need to stay at 720p resolution or you will get broken cutscenes if you try to get above like 1080p or 1440p, but I find 720p + in-built FSR to be pretty good looking, you need to tinker with it to get best result.)
MGS4 - RPCS3 (requires a beefy CPU, I completed it just fine with Ryzen 5600X on CipherXOF build of the emulator in 1440p resolution, GPU don't really matters, first run was on RX580 8GB, then I switched to 3060 Ti and saw almost no difference with same settings. Game don't use pressure sensitive buttons as much as MGS2-3 and it's fully playable on more modern controller like DS4, DualSense or even Xbox Controller)

Didn't played PC port yet, but forced 720p is a big oof, at least on Xenia you have things like FXAA and FSR to get more smooth visuals. This "collection" isn't worthy of 50$.

if you got the specs for it RPCS3 and the HD colllection.

Can run at any res you want, keeps a solid 60 FPS on my 3080 at 1440p and looks great. MGS 4 even runs amazingly well.

Do you want pressure sensitive buttons? PS3 or PS2.
Do you also want to play on PC? PS2 emulation.
Do you want to play in widescreen? PS3 emulation.

Do you not want to use pressure sensitive buttons, xbox 360 version on any xbox compatible with it
Do you want to play on PC? Then this version.
Do you not want to play on PC, then any of the other versions.

Anyone know how to get a ds4 controller to show up under xinput controllers with pcsx2? Using DS4Windows but my controller only shows on the DirectInput option, and for some reason that leads to the camera always turning left. The fix is supposedly to disable DirectInput and only have Xinput checked, but that's not working for me so far.

Having played through the whole game on rpcs3 with a 3080, this is it tbh. rpcs3 requires pressure sensitive buttons and has massive timescale slowdowns in the 2nd half. every boss fight is at 3/4s or half speed and the boss fight is at 1/4 speed because it cant get above 20 fps. This port is mid but if you want to play it on pc this is it. The ps2 emulated version is locked at 30 imo rules it out.

I got the ps2 version to run at 60 with no issues, but the controls screw it up. I tried swapping circle to L2 and square to R2, but it's way too finicky. End up shooting too often. I need to find some way to get the xbox hd controls on to the ps2 version.

But for now I'm gonna give the 360 version a go. I'm reading year old threads saying it has graphics and audio issues though so idk.
