Metroid Prime: Trilogy is an action-adventure video game compilation developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Wii video game console. It features Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on a single dual-layer disc. The former two, which were originally released for the Nintendo GameCube, have been updated with many of the features that were first implemented in the latter. Metroid Prime Trilogy comes packaged in a Steelbook case (only available in the North America release), contains an art booklet, and includes other features; it is one of a handful of Wii games to come in a non-white DVD case.

Problems
Slow Speed
Starting with 3.5-367, the launcher is unable to run at full speed on any computer. The emulator will show 60vps and 100% speed, but the fps and the actual speed of the game will be 10-20fps. Adjusting the Framelimiter cannot correct it, and Accurate Vbeam Emulation makes it even worse. Holding Tab or turning off the Framelimiter eliminates the slowdown, but makes the game run too quickly. Fortunately, the launcher does not require fullspeed, and it has little impact on functionality. See issue 5982. Fixed by 3.5-380.
Crash on Game Load
Emulation crashed when launching any of the games. This occurred because Dolphin didn't support soft-resets/multiple dol files. See issue 661. This problem is currently fixed with the merger of the ES_Launch branch in 3.5-268. Booting games from the launcher now boot properly. The old workaround is below, for users who wish to use 3.5 or other versions prior to 3.5-268.
Older Builds
- For builds before 3.5-268, the problem can be worked around by making a second ISO, and replacing "main.dol" file in DATA partition of ISO image to either rs5mp1_p, rs5mp2_p or rs5mp3_p.dol depending on which game you would like to play. Then switching between the unaltered ISO and the modified ISO; basically, you are emulating the soft-reset that the Wii would usually do by exiting the game, and then loading the correct DOL manually. All games can be booted using this method. Please remember that you must keep the unaltered Metroid Prime Trilogy ISO to switch games, create your saved games, and choose your difficulty. The process is...
- Make a backup copy of your ISO image, in case you screw up, and because you need to keep the launcher for changing games and managing saves.
- Download WiiScrubber
- Extract WiiScrubber, and run MakeKeyBin.exe
- Load the ISO in WiiScrubber, and expand the DATA partition
- There will be 4 .dol files in the directory: main.dol (the Launcher), rs5mp1_p.dol (Prime 1), rs5mp2_p.dol (Prime 2), and rs5mp3_p.dol (Prime 3).
- Right click "main.dol", and click "Replace". Replace it with the rs5mpX_p.dol file of your choice depending on the game you want to play.
- All changes are saved automatically. Close WiiScrubber.
- Now you should have an unaltered Trilogy ISO, and a modified Trilogy ISO with the game you want to play. Now you need to make a new game and create a save for Trilogy.
- Load the unaltered Metroid Prime Trilogy ISO
- Create your new game, selecting which of the three games you created a modified ISO of earlier
- Attempt to load the game, and it will freeze
- Stop emulation, and load the altered ISO. It should load directly into the game using the save you just created.
- The launcher is not needed to play the game, just fire up the modified ISO and it will immediately load your latest save.
- You will need to load the unaltered ISO and follow this process to play a different game, or load a different save file.

There are some minor issues, such as the FMVs lagging behind audio, but that's not new. | MaJoR |
