=== NA 16:9 Aspect Ratio 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). Here's an AR Code that fixes it. It 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 have had crashes using it.

In VR, culling needs to be disabled completely and this is the AR code to do that. This code only works for the NTSC version 1.00 of the game. (Note: Largely decrease performance.) Source: https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/metroid_prime_hacking_help_26.html

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-5421|OS=Windows 10|CPU=Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060|result=Nearly perfect with default settings (OpenGL). Most of the stuttering on a fresh shader cache is confined to the intro; afterwards, things were a lot more smooth. Hybrid ubershaders eliminates the stuttering entirely, but for me using hybrid ubershaders with OpenGL caused massive slowdown to below 50% speed when looking at the map (gameplay is fine). Direct3D11 and Vulkan with ubershaders both fix stuttering as well and keep the map at full speed.|tester=Xerxes}}
