-'''''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]]'').

-Emulation crashes when launching any of the games. This happens because Dolphin doesn't support soft-resets/multiple dol files yet. See {{Issue|233}}
+Emulation crashes when launching any of the games. This happens because Dolphin doesn't support soft-resets/multiple dol files yet. See {{Issue|233}}. Emulation of soft-resets is currently in development; until it is completed, there are two ways around the problem.
-The problem can be worked around by 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. All games can be booted using this method. See [http://forums.dolphin-emulator.com/showthread.php?tid=3792&pid=58342#pid58342 forums].

Please note that you will still need to use the original Metroid Prime trilogy launcher to create your saved game and choose your difficulty.  The process is...
+::* Load Metroid Prime Trilogy without any modification
+::* Create your new game, selecting which of the three games you'd like to play
+::* Attempt to load the game, which will freeze
+::* Stop emulation, and do the DOL swap described in [http://forums.dolphin-emulator.com/showthread.php?tid=3792&pid=58342#pid58342 this thread]
+::* Start up the modified image, which will load directly into the game using the save you created
