=== Micro-stuttering ===
=== Micro-stuttering ===
All of the Prime games suffer from micro-stuttering: screen redraws and small stops in the video that can become very annoying. It occurs on both DSP HLE and DSP LLE, but DSP LLE appears to make it worse. It's severity varies depending on the revision used. Micro-stuttering can trigger the Black Bar glitch.
All of the Prime games suffer from micro-stuttering: screen redraws and small stops in the video that can become very annoying. It occurs in all graphics backends, but the OpenGL backend has consistently been the most resistant to the problem. DSP HLE and DSP LLE are both affected, though DSP LLE appears to make it worse in some revisions. Its severity varies depending on the revision and settings used, so if you want to play the game you should try a wide variety of combinations. Micro-stuttering can trigger the Black Bar glitch.


=== Audio Issues ===
=== Audio Issues ===
Several sounds don´t play appropriately, and sometimes music stops playing. [[DSP LLE]] fixes the sound effect problems, but it does not fix all BGM issues. See {{issue|5563}}.

=== Visors ===
Visors will only work if EFB to Ram is enabled. Unlike the original Prime releases, Trilogy does not have EFB to Ram enabled by default in the GameINI, and must be set manually.


=== Black Bar ===
=== Black Bar ===
Whenever Dolphin has trouble with the game and flickers, from a loading hiccup to taking a screenshot, a black bar will appear on the bottom of the screen, taking up 15% of the screen space and "squishing" the game in the remaining space. This occurs in all graphics backends, and there is no known solution. See {{issue|5185}}.

This occurs in all graphics backends, and there is no known solution, but OpenGL is the most resistant. See {{issue|5185}}. Old versions of Dolphin, such as 3.0-135, do not have this issue on all backends.
*PAL users can disable "EuRGB60 Mode (PAL60)" in the Wii settings to prevent this issue.

=== Bloom Offset ===
=== Bloom Offset ===
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}}.

=== OpenGL Slowdown ===
OpenGL has problems with slowdown while showing refraction effects, such as raindrops on Samus' visor and the heat effect after firing her weapon for an extended period. On Metroid Prime 3 alone, it also has slowdowns when several grapple points (yellow pulsing) are present on screen at once. Even the strongest computers will slow to a crawl from this, and there is no solution in the OpenGL backend. D3D9 and D3D11 are not affected by this issue.


=== Dot ===
=== 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 ===
Visors will only work if EFB to Ram is enabled. However, EFB to Ram is set as default within the game INI, preventing the user from using anything but EFB to Ram for this game.
