What the title says, is what i want to do. I was tryin' to run Metal Gear Solid 2 (SOL) on my pc and since it didn't work to well i decided to learn to patch or improve the emulator for myself and others, not just for MGS2. I now know that i can't just start makin patches...I need to learn C and C++. Can anyone direct me to some tutorials that a noob like me could read up on. I can't find any good ones most require some background knowledge and i don't know anything.

Thx for the help...

You would need the source code for the emulator before you have to worry about learning a programing language, but you can only get it if the emulator is open source. If its not, then you can't do nothing about it.

pcsx2 is open source. You can find the source on its website.

A quick google of Learn C brought me this page http://www.cyberdiem.com/vin/learn.html it has links to guides but I'd probably go for a book from the library

Off-Topic :
Metal Gear Solid 2 is available on PC if you or others didn't know.
