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. 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. It was released in North America on August 24, 2009, Europe on September 4, 2009, and in Australia on October 15, 2009. It 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 three Wii games to come in a non-white keep case (the others being New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Zangeki no Reginleiv).

Audio
The DSP-HLE sound plug-in works on revisions 7686 and later. Note that certain sounds/music may play at maximum volume regardless of settings or distance from the sound source when using DSP-HLE. DSP-LLE provides the more accurate emulation.

For revisions before, use DSP-LLE instead. Note that DSP LLE requires a dumped DSP bios from a physical console. Instructions are on this forum thread

Performance
Performance in general seems reduced compared to the games' Gamecube counterparts. This may be related to the higher resolution textures and various new screen effects added for the trilogy versions.

Testing
{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-694|OS-Windows 7 x64|CPU=AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @ 3.2GHz|GPU=AMD Radeon HD 6870|result=DX9 OR DX11 OR OGL, 1x red, no AA, no AF. With EFB->Texture, runs at ~45fps. With EFB->RAM, runs at ~10fps. No other settings seem to have any effect on the FPS, although enabling VBeam does provide a speedup (~45fps with any settings) on the map screen. {{testing/end}}
