Is it as long as the first one? Or is it just like an hour long + a lot of codec conversations?

Because I started playing MGS for the first time (yeah, I'm late, I know) ... and I got to the end of CD1 and was enjoying it a lot ... but the thing is that CD2 doesn't work on the version I'm playing. And after wasting several hours trying to fix it, I've finally given up.
But since I was really enjoying the game, I'm considering watching the rest of the game in a playthrough on youtube .... unless there's actually half of the game left. So how anyone remember if CD2 is as long as the first CD? And no spoilers pls

Not nearly as long as the first CD, no. That said, the last sequence and boss is one of the most ridiculously epic things ever, and should be played

I always seem to get the estimation of the second disc's length totally wrong when I replay the game. I think it's longer and it isn't or I think it's shorter and it isn't. It's f***ed up.

Anyway, it's like 40% of the game... I... THINK.

I wouldn't say 40%, but it's pretty long. Definitely not under 30%.

And yeah a lot of the stuff on disc 2 is awesome.

Disc 2 has all the most awesome parts of the game on it. If you have a PS3 you can DL MGS and use a Memory Card convertor to preserve your data.

The thing is ... I wasn't playing on a PS1 so I don't have a physical memory card

CD2 is like ten times better than CD1.

Also, I don't know what emulator you're using, but it sure isn't the right one if it doesn't let you switch disks. Use pSX, it's the best and most straightforward one.

(If you're actually playing a legit copy despite your wording, you could always just get the emulator and restart, if you're not willing to shell out the cash and wait on the mail)

I'm too poor, especially to buy a game that I've already played half of
And it's not the PC version either. Let's just say I'd get modded if I said how I played it

It sounds like you're playing on a screwy version of the path you've chosen to go down

I can't switch discs with the most recent version I'm using (1.7.0), so I have to use the previous version (1.6.0) to switch the discs, then save on Disc 2, then open my saved game on the 1.7.0 version. The problem is that when Disc 2 starts, the game freezes whenever I try to use the codec. So I can't save.
Several other people have had that problem, because I googled it, but none of the solutions work. I've spent at least 2-3 hours trying to get this to work so right now I'm losing my sanity, which is why I've given up.
