[Wii] Metroid Prime Trilogy

[MayImilae]

What are you talking about?

[hedgesmfg]

I try to run Prime 3 from the trilogy and it just crashes every single time. I can only run it if I use the non-trilogy version of Prime 3 (the older separate release from 2007). Could I perhaps have a bad ISO, or is this a known issue? I was under the impression that it was an old glitch that's been unresolved for some time.

Edit: Scratch that, I think I actually do have a corrupted (heh) ISO.

[MayImilae]

Yea you do. Prime 1 2 and 3 work fine in Trilogy.

I had the same problem, but it was due to a faulty hard drive corrupting the iso. After replacing the drive and re-dumping I can now run the Trilogy version just fine. Which is nice, since that extended Bryyo music really makes a difference.

I assume you've tested the iso integrity using dolphin's checker (found in properties>filesystem by right clicking the main partition)?

[hedgesmfg]

Yep, turns out it was the ISO. That's resolved now. But I've encountered another error I did not previously encounter...

In Prime 3, if I attempt to use the scan visor, I suddenly get an endless string of "Failed to render Pixel Shader!" errors. I don't have any CPU based GPU, only a GTX 660 2GB version.

In older builds, the visors worked perfectly fine. Though I suspect this was before the graphical engine rewrite... is there any known configuration that's supposed to fix this? It seems to happen on both OpenGL, and direct 3D. So far, changing things like EFB to ram, Skip EFB, texture cache speed, and the external frame buffer seem to make no difference. The other 2 visors work.

I've also updated and tried the latest Nvidia drivers to no avail. Every other visor works in the whole trilogy, including the very similar Prime 2 scan visor. This happens in both the trilogy version of 3, and the original version.

Just wanted to post an update...

1. The newest revision fixed my previous issue. The game works without crashing again.
2. The new NVIDIA drivers have actually 'greatly' sped up the performance again! It's not quite full speed all the time (especially with the scan visor), but it's now pretty close on even an old i7-920 OCed to 4.0GHZ/GTX 660. I'd guess a new i7-4770k would easily get full speed now. Not sure if a newer GPU would help (since this 'is' a very GPU demanding game), but I doubt a 770/80/Titan would make a difference here. Maybe something Radeon, maybe not.

Looks like whatever PC I build next should be able to handle everything save maybe Zelda TP though, which is good to see.

Is any one getting random loud crackling noises? It's just so abrupt it causes me to jump.

I am currently using HLE with OpenAL and the Dolby Pro Logic II Decoder.

Also, on another note, are they getting close to fixing the black bar issue?

Is this still relevant for Dolphin 4.X?

At least Metroid 1 still runs very bad for me.

4.0-1569
GTX 670 OC
i5-2500K@4,4Ghz
16GB RAM
Windows 8.1 X64

Any hints on what to do?

Sound is VERY choppy.
