Asking for, or giving direct links to ROMs is frowned upon here, but what I can do is link to the translation patches:
http://ips.tni.nl/rom/translations/konami/
so you can patch the ROMs yourself, using Lunar IPS:

How is it 'better'? It works or it doesn't work. Smile Never had any problems with Lunar IPS. Are there cases in which it doesn't work correctly?

Better as you can also create your own IPS files, it's very interesting when you want to combine several patches.

So, it's a more complete tool that has never deceived me. I've tried 2 or 3 times LunarIPS and it does not have convinced me.

Okay, I see. Smile I should try IPSEXE then.

Actually, LunarIPS can also create IPS files, but you don't have the IPSEXE flexibility with creation and using of EXE files.

Don't wanna bother him with all this stuff. If he sends me a mail he can get the ROM I have...

Really? If you ask me, writing and sending a mail, waiting for reply, then opening that mail and downloading the files requires more time and work than just patch it yourself (or use Google).

But, oh well... it's all good I guess.

About Metal Gear (first part), if you have the European ROM and you are using an emulator (probably) just set it as an European MSX2 and that's all.

That's true PAC, but then you're missing out on quite some codec messages. Patching the Japanese version keeps them intact and offers a better translation as well.
