This page should be used for specific issues with the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes sub-game of [[Metroid Prime: Trilogy]]. For other [[Metroid Prime: Trilogy]] games or launcher information, please see the following pages.

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 solve this problem, or avoid the MS Bluetooth stack by using the DolphinBar or the Toshiba Stack (for instruction of which is available at [[Wii Remote Plus (RVL-CNT-01-TR) Connection Guide#Windows]]).

Like Prime 3 and all the Trilogy games, Prime 2 Trilogy has bloom offset problems. Fortunately, it is not very noticeable with this game. There is no known solution to this issue. See {{issue|5573}}.

=== Dot ===

When playing above 1x Native internal resolution, there is a dot in the center of the screen. It's small and easy to ignore, but it's always there. There is no fix for this problem.

=== Visors ===

 

=== The Black Bar ===

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. Details can be found in the [https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2015/10/01/dolphin-progress-report-september-2015/#40-7517-derive-field-timings-from-video-interface-registers-by-booto September Progress Report].

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-766|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-3770K @ 4.4GHz|GPU=AMD Radeon HD 6970|result=DX11 at 1900x1200 (using internal resolution auto, 4xAA), averages 50FPS. EFB-copy-to-RAM must be used 100% of the time for the scan visor to function (contrast to MP1 where it is only required for the rarely-used x-ray visor), but fastest cache option can be used (causes very minor graphical glitches).  "Skip Destination Alpha Pass" also breaks the scan visor and should be left off.  "Accurate V-Beam" (in right-click options) provides noticeable speedup in large rooms with no ill effect. DSP-HLE works fine, except for very occasional loss of BGM (can be resolved by save/load or reset); DSP-LLE does not drop BGM but instead causes crackling and clicking sounds whenever framerate drops below 60FPS. OpenMP texture decoder, cache display lists, and disable fog/per-pixel-depth are all recommended for slight speedup. DOL swap still required to run.|tester=anon}}

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0-4843|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-750 @ 2.66GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680|result=ES_Launch problems now solved, no problems with speaker data. Direct 3D, EFB to RAM  used. Frequent drops to 25FPS and I must go to windowed then fullscreen again to gain 50FPS. Everything OK otherwise.|tester=Paulli}}

Runs very nicely, minor FPS drops when entering water and in some places, otherwise constant 50FPS. Played all the way through without major glitches.|tester=XorUnison}}
