Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (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 2 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.

Audio Issues
Several sounds don´t play appropriately, and sometimes music stops playing. DSP LLE fixes the sound effect problems, but it does not fix all BGM issues. LLE also causes stuttering problems. See.

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

Visors
Visors will only work if EFB to Ram is enabled. Unlike the original Prime releases, Trilogy does not have EFB to Ram enabled by default in the GameINI, and must be set manually.

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. See.



Bloom Offset
Like Prime 3 and all the Trilogy games, Prime 2 Trilogy has bloom offset problems. Fortunately, it is not very noticeable with this game. There is no known solution to this issue. See.

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.
