Hmm, I still suspect the symlinked NAS drive might be the culprit here, as it was the setup I didn’t test with. Directory size should not be related to this.
For MP3 files, synced lyrics are embedded in the SYLT tag. Unfortunately, not many music players support this across platforms. For example, MusicBee supports reading SYLT, but tools like MP3Tag and PuddleTag do not.
LRCGET author here, I'm really sorry to hear about this issue. Could you let me know which platform you're using (Windows, Linux, or macoS)?
I played the MGS3 on nintendo 3DS. It is quite laggy but still playable (and still I'm impressed by the graphic despite of 3DS's limited power), and I enjoyed it a lot. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Hideo Kojima, but I refuse to support Konami in any way and will never buy this.
Second this. If I remember correctly, at some points in VLR, you have to enter some certain passwords to deactivate some certain things or something terrible will happen. But if you play this game on 3DS which has an additional touch screen, you can utilize integrated notepad feature of the game to write down what you need to remember ;-) It is crucial to play these kind of games knowing as little as possible, so I won't disclose any more details.
