If you use the latest dolphin version, don't open the graphic setting window while running the game since it overrides the defaults. Otherwise manually enable efb to ram.

Interesting that the current revision (4.0.2) has bad sound performance on my system (average fps 50 but awful choppy music) than the one i used before which is the 3.0-141 ES launch (average 45 fps) , i also tried 3.5 - 379 as it was mentioned in the wiki to have even better performance but was getting 15 fps... which was worst of em all.

settings the same on all except that in 4.0 it said d9 deprecated or something but used same settings...does it has something to do with that ES launch me getting best performance? is that a plugin that can be added to other revisions? its been a while and i really dont remember where i got my old stable revision...i could go with this old one so far no issues but if there is a better revision please do recommend

just used version 3.0-268 with ES merged (so it said) and had great fps performance but just as awful choppy music as in 4.0.2...:S , it seems i can get better fps performance on some revisions but the sound its always choppy tried all the sound options on recent versions but not as good as in 3.0-141 ES enabled...my guess is because it has the old audio options : Enable Audio Throttle and Enable DTK music?

any advice?

TL;DR: how to run more recent stable versions than 3.0-141 that have better fps performance but without choppy sound...(tested 3.5-268 , 3.5-379 and 4.0.2 all give me bad sound)


EDIT: fixed audio on more recent revisions using open al but with 30 lag , a bit tiny choppy but decent...

Bad audio fix:
AA enhancements are NOT recommended, especially on mid-end systems

Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2:
1) HLE, OpenAL, Latency ≥2, DSPLLE on Separate Thread=Off/Optional On - little desync during loadings and fps-drops - pretty solid fps-rate;
or
2) VBeam Speed Hack=On in the game Propertries, HLE, XAudio2, DSPLLE on Separate Thread=[bOff/Optional On[/b] - better sync with video but rare produce a sound garbage.

Metroid Prime 3:
HLE, OpenAL, Latency ≥2, DSPLLE on Separate Thread=Off, VBeam Speed Hack=Off

tested on 4.0-595 x64 git.

For some reason MP1 always get stuck on Ending "Mission Final" Screen (with total play time etc) and its impossible to return to Trilogy main menu.

Hmm. Are you playing on NTSC? If so, I'd like to try to confirm this bug. Assuming your save is still almost-complete for Prime 1, of course.

Right click the game in the game list and click "Open Wii save folder". Take all of the files in that folder and upload them to mediafire or something in a zip file. Then I can test it (assuming NTSC and that you still have an almost-complete Prime 1 save).

MaJoR, unfortunately I`m playing on PAL-version.

PAL-save (Impact Crater, near Metroid Prime boss): http://www.solidfiles.com/d/a775fd04f6/

Just a tip: if you can`t reach upper device with your cursor in Samus' ship at the begining of MP3 - then go to Wiimote configuration and change "Center", "Width" and "Height" from default "50" to any higher value (55 for example) - it's also improves cursor navigation at the main menu.

Oh well, I won't be able to try it then. Regardless, that is more or less expected behavior. ES_Launch currently only allows for a single dol change. So, loading the game counts for that, loading the launcher after completing the game? That would be number two, and so it doesn't work.

MaJoR, I tried a third time (and made working savestate at the end of credits roll) - every time it`s getting stuck on the same moment: game asking player to overwrite his save - no matter Yes or No are choosen - instant freeze after (game itself, emulator still work fine). So i think it`s another user profile problem. But not deadly

edit: WOW - yes it stuck - but the profile has been successfully updated after relaunching ! New game and hypermode activated:

[MayImilae]

Yea uh, that was expected. Saving is fine, but after you save the completed gamesave, the game wants to go back to the launcher. Instead, you get black.

hmm i for some reason getting best performance overall on the ES_Launch versions (faster and much better audio) but so far only have 3.0 141 and 3.0 636 (64 bit versions) , was wondering on more versions using this ES_launch thingy and found 3.5-88 n 89 ES_Launch versions on emucr but all download sites dont work :<...anyone know where i could get this ES_launch 3.5 versions? just to test :9

pd: already tested 4.0.2 , 4.0 and 3.5 (non ES_Launch) and always less stable for me for some odd reason...

[MayImilae]

Old versions are not supported here. There have been a lot of stability fixes committed after ES_Launch was merged. If you can't run them at fullspeed, well that's not our problem.
