I'm using ePSXe 2.0.5 with video plugin Pete's OpenGL2 GPU core 2.0.0.
There's graphic issues occurring in the intro cutscene, radio and other cutscenes.
2 examples:

Post your video plugin settings, cause that looks more like the disc is corrupted.
Also are you using a BIOS file? What version?

Here set it up like this.

Thou to be fair, unless your PC from 2010 or older you can pretty much max out all settings, or if it's a very weak laptop.

Three things you don't wanna change thou is.
Threading mode - this is broken, best left at 0
Stretching mode - best set to 0 other modes give odd proportions, if you want that og 4:3 use a 4:3 resolution like 800x600
Last GFX card vram - just type in 1024 the auto detect mode is also broken.

This fixed it but a new issue occurs, now there are static lines in cutscenes.

Sadly only way to fix it is to use GPUcore plugin, good thing is that this issue happens only in underwater scenes, which is only the intro.

That fixed the static lines. GPUcore aint pretty, the graphics are kinda pixelated, more obvious at times.

Look at that pixelated water!

Yeah that's the downside of GPUcore it has almost none issues but it is very limited and its extremely depended on your CPU.
You can make it look slightly better by setting the Internal Resolution to 2x or even 4x if your CPU can handle it.

Alternatively you can give RetroArch with BeetlePSX HW core a try, for PCs it is the superior option thou it is difficult to set up.

I'll just use Pete's plugin and ignore the static lines.

Like I said those lines only appear in underwater scenes which there's very little of in MGS other than the intro.
