Since {{revision|3.5-471}}, when using the MS Bluetooth Stack (the default Bluetooth stack on Windows) the game will think that the Wii Remote is constantly disconnecting. Pressing a button on the Wii Remote will restore it, but it will disconnect again seconds later. Disable '''Enable Speaker Data''' to remedy this problem. It's a problem bound to PC hardware and driver, you can also try [[Bluetooth Passthrough]], or follow this [[Wii Remote Plus (RVL-CNT-01-TR) Connection Guide#Windows|Wii Remote -TR Connection Guide]] anyhow to avoid the MS Bluetooth stack. DolphinBar is another viable solution for this problem. | Since {{revision|3.5-471}}, when using the MS Bluetooth Stack (the default Bluetooth stack on Windows) the game will think that the Wii Remote is constantly disconnecting.

=== The Black Bar === | === <s>The Black Bar</s> === | ||
During Shader Compilation, stuttering can become so severe that it desyncs the GPU and CPU threads in Dual Core mode. The game freaks out over this desync, creating a black bar at the bottom of the screen, which takes up 15% of the screen space and "squishes" the game in the remaining space. The black bar will remain there from then on whether stuttering continues or ceases. | During Shader Compilation, stuttering can become so severe that it desyncs the GPU and CPU threads in Dual Core mode.

After {{revision|4.0-7517}}, enabling Virtual XFB or Real XFB will fix and/or prevent the problem. If XFB is disabled the problem may still occur.

=== Bloom Offset in IR>1 === | |||
Like Prime 3 and all the Trilogy games, Prime 1 Trilogy has bloom offset problems when playing above 1x Native internal resolution. Fortunately, it is not very noticeable with this game. The only solution is to disable Scaled EFB copies, which creates issues of its own. See {{issue|5573}}. | |||

=== Dot in IR>1 === | |||
<!-- Shared problem with other [[Metroid Prime: Trilogy]] games --> | |||
When playing above 1x Native internal resolution, there is a dot in the very center of the screen. It's small and easy to ignore, but it's always there. It can be hidden along with the helmet display in the game settings (Hit '''"2"''' then '''"-"''' on your Wii Remote to bring up the option screen then go to "Visor" in the left column, "Helmet Opacity" in the right column, then move the slider all the way to the left). This problem did not appear in the original game [[Metroid Prime (GC)|Metroid Prime]] for GameCube. | |||
