SYMPTOMS
When you play Microsoft Metal Gear Solid with a Microsoft SideWinder gamepad, some game commands such as Switch Weapon or Switch Item may not function as expected.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because some game commands, such as Switch Weapon or Switch Item, require that you hold down the SHIFT key while you press a button on the controller to activate the command.

NOTE: The game recognizes the START button on the Microsoft SideWinder gamepad as the SHIFT key.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, press the START button on the SideWinder gamepad when you use a command that requires you to hold down the SHIFT key.
