Metroid Prime (GC)

Metroid Prime is a video game developed by Retro Studios and Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. It is the first 3D game in the Metroid series, the fifth main installment, and the first of the three part Metroid Prime storyline.

Despite taking place in the first person view, Metroid Prime is classified by Nintendo as a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter, due to the large exploration component of the game and its precedence over combat. As with all Metroid games, players solve puzzles, perform platform jumps, and fight enemies in a large, open ended world. Along the way, the player finds power ups that improve her abilities, and clues about the mystery of the planet. The story is told organically; the story is revealed through scan logs, allowing the player to dive into the story or ignore it as they see fit.

An updated version exists for the Wii as part of the Metroid Prime: Trilogy; which also contains the sequels Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Problems
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|

Raindrop Effects
Raindrops will have varying degrees of corruption, usually sporting a black line that can take up half of the actual raindrop. To fix, disable Store EFB Copies to Texture Only.

Missing Effects
Lightning and some other graphics effects are not rendered appropriately on the OpenGL backend with Intel and perhaps some other integrated graphics cards. This can be accounted for by using a different graphics backend.

NA Culling Fix
Like many games, to optimize performance, objects outside view are not rendered (this is called "frustum culling"). In 16:9, you can see culling on the sides of the screen (because you see more than what you are supposed to). The AR code below simply makes the frustum larger. Make sure to turn on Widescreen Hack when using this. This code only works for the NTSC version 1.00 of the game. Source: https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/metroid_prime_hacking_research_1196.html

If you don't have the version 1.00 of the game, you can try this Gecko Code. Disable the Dolphin Widescreen Hack before using. This Code works for any region of the game but some users experience crashes using it and the EU title.

VR Culling Fix
In VR, culling needs to be disabled completely and this is the Gecko code to do that. This code only works for the NTSC version 1.00 of the game. $VR Culling Fix 04344FCC 38600001 04344FD0 4E800020 0434502C 38600001 04345030 4E800020 04345098 38600001 0434509C 4E800020 04345188 38600001 0434518C 4E800020 043451D0 38600001 043451D4 4E800020
