Most things I google are from 2009 and such. Any current news on how it performs?

It works fine using 3.5-379 from the downloads page in the link at the top of the page.
There is also a game discussion thread for this game: http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-wii-metroid-prime-trilogy--26043 02-06-2013, 02:39 PM
I just tested it yesterday. The answer? Still bad. ES_Launch means it can boot games finally, but the games themselves are still riddled with problems. Micro-stuttering and screen redraws are the worst problem, and get extremely annoying. Plus whenever it stutters it can squish the screen, showing a black bar on the bottom. I guess you could ignore it, but as a graphics artist that drives me crazy.
Check out the wiki page on it. Make sure you click to all the sub-games to see their individual problems. http://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Metroid_Prime:_Trilogy ![]() AMD Threadripper Pro 5975WX PBO+200 | Asrock WRX80 Creator | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 FE | 64GB DDR4-3600 Octo-Channel | Windows 11 22H2 | (details)

And: As new revisions are a bit slower than older ones, you should consider to overclock your CPU. You'll get some slowdowns in the Metroid Prime games (especially in battles and demanding areas). ![]() 02-06-2013, 05:24 PM
Oh and uh, it gets worse.

Oh, when you get so little FPS (with THAT CPU!!) then definitely is something broken. I hope it'll be fixed soon.

Damn, killing my hopes. Still, I got Xenoblade working in HD so I can finally play it in all its glory so this emulator is more than I can ask for.
That being said, I only have a few Wii games; RE4, Okami, XBC, and MP Trilogy. I may pick up Last Story. I checked the forums for each game and they all appear to share the same problems due to them all running on MP 3 engine. I don't think the squishing would bother me too bad but low FPS kills me. Edit- Just looked over those different revisions and their performance. So if I use a slightly older revision, I could run the game full speed? 02-07-2013, 12:41 AM
It is a recent regression, so a version before 3.5-367 won't have the framelimiter problem. But you'll need a beast of a machine to run these games, and there were a ton of problems before the framelimiter started to act up...

Thanks for all the info. I have another question about gamecube games that I rather ask in here than blow up the board.
I just dumped Tales of Symphonia and now I am doing windwaker. What do I do once they are dumped to prep them for Dolphin? Particularly about the dual discs of Symphonia? 02-07-2013, 04:31 AM
n1Catastrophe Wrote:Particularly about the dual discs of Symphonia?You do nothing after you've dumped them properly. Once you get to the ending of disc 1, you simply go to file -> change disc in Dolphin and switch to the second disc. |
