The music loop table in GOG.com's release of Metal Gear is calculated through the following code in the executable:
As you can see, when the ending music plays, the music cuts off early; THIS is why:
It literally is set to loop very earlier than intended! Why? Who knows. This is easily fixable by simply altering the end value to a more proper time, and the patch aims to do just that for user convenience. NOTE: is in xdelta format.
