I just want to thank the developers of Dolphin for making such an awesome program.

My Gamecube broke more than five years ago. I bought a PS2 and never looked back.

Just a few days ago I was looking through my old things when I found my old Gamecube games. I didn't care for most, but when I saw my old copy of Metroid Prime, I suddenly had a rush of nostalgia for the game. I had almost forgotten what an amazing experience that was.

Sometimes I'd just be on the bus or lying in bed and I'd remember this song. I knew it was from a video game but I couldn't remember what it was. When I saw my Metroid Prime copy I suddenly realized it was the music from Phendrana Drifts.

I went online, learned about the emulator, and within an hour I was playing again. What an amazing experience. All of a sudden I felt like I was 15 years old again, sitting in my living room on Christmas Day. I remember when you first land on Tallon IV, it's raining, and if you look up you can see raindrops hitting your helmet visor. What a feeling.

Good luck with future advancements on the emulator. It's kind of slow on my computer, but it makes me so happy just to be able to play the game that I don't mind all that much.

To speed it up, try setting frame-skipping under the emulation settings to 2 or 3. Makes it much more playable on slow machines. Just remember to set it every time you start dolphin because it reverts to 0.

Suggestion 2 -

1. Dump your Metroid Prime Trilogy disc.
2. Get a Bluetooth adapter.
3. Get the Wiimote and Nunchuk from your Wii.
4. ???
5. E-N-J-O-Y.
