Metroid Prime (Metroid Prime: Trilogy)

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.

Metroid Prime in Trilogy has been updated with many features from Metroid Prime 3, such as its aiming system, bloom rendering, 16:9 aspect ratio, and reduced difficulty level (to play the original difficulty, play "veteran" instead of normal). The update also has higher resolution textures, and uses Trilogy's menus, save system, achievements, and unlockable soundtracks.

Performance
Performance in general seems reduced compared to the game's GameCube counterpart. This may be related to the higher resolution textures and various new screen effects added for the Trilogy versions.

Micro-stuttering
All of the Prime games suffer from micro-stuttering: screen redraws and small stops in the video that can become very annoying. It occurs in all graphics backends, but the OpenGL backend has consistently been the most resistant to the problem. DSP HLE and DSP LLE are both affected, though DSP LLE appears to make it worse in some revisions. Its severity varies depending on the revision and settings used, so if you want to play the game you should try a wide variety of combinations. Micro-stuttering can trigger the Black Bar glitch.

Black Bar
Whenever Dolphin has trouble with the game and flickers, from a loading hiccup to taking a screenshot, a black bar will appear on the bottom of the screen, taking up 15% of the screen space and "squishing" the game in the remaining space. This occurs in all graphics backends, and there is no known solution, but OpenGL is the most resistant. See. Old versions of Dolphin, such as 3.0-135, do not have this issue on all backends.
 * PAL users can disable "EuRGB60 Mode (PAL60)" in the Wii settings to prevent this issue.

Bloom Offset
Like Prime 3 and all the Trilogy games, Prime 1 Trilogy has bloom offset problems. Fortunately, it is not very noticeable with this game. The only solution is to disable Scaled EFB copies, which creates issues of its own. See.

Refraction Slowdown
Refraction effects, such as raindrops on Samus' visor, cause slowdown in OpenGL. Even the strongest computers are affected by this issue, and there is no solution with the OpenGL backend at this time. D3D11 and D3D9 are not affected by this problem in this game.

Dot
When playing above 1x Native internal resolution, there is a dot in the center of the screen. It's small and easy to ignore, but it's always there. There is no fix for this problem.

Visors
Visors will only work if EFB to Ram is enabled. However, EFB to Ram is set as default within the game INI, preventing the user from using anything but EFB to Ram for this game.

Audio Issues
Several sounds don´t play appropriately, and sometimes music stops playing. Use DSP LLE to correct it. See. Fixed by the merger of New-AX-HLE 2.0 in.

Wiimote Lag
The game may experience a small amount of Wii Remote lag. Use "Alternate Wiimote Timings" in the game settings to correct it. Fixed and the option removed by.
