Metal Gear Solid 3D - NG+ Foxhound Rank Run

Decided to do my Foxhound rank in MGS3D instead of MGS3HD (mainly because I didn't realize food was a requirement by the time I was at the end of my HD playthrough). This also gives me an opportunity to show off mods, which the HD version does not have. This is being played on the Citra emulator with some texture mods and a 30 FPS code. There is a 60 FPS code but even with a beefy computer there are parts of the game that drop frames, while 30 FPS is mostly consistent. The mods that I used are listed below:

This version of the game is easier than the HD port overall. There are modifications to the guard layouts on extreme compared to the HD and OG version that are mostly just removing some guards. A big example is the Groznyj Grad escape sequence, where it's almost trivial to escape now. Also, likely because of the 30 FPS code, EVA rides super quickly on the motorcycle making that whole sequence fly by. Not really consequential, it would be super easy either way due to the Cold War Camo.

NG+ run so I abuse the Spider and Spirit Camos quite often. Spider isn't quite as OP as MGS3 for casual runs since crouch walking can provide near identical values and isn't as slow as running but it's still useful in most places.
