You got much farther than me at least (Are you playing NTSC version where the scanner work?) If there is an error message when it crashes, please post. I don't think many people have been playing the game past the space station yet because of save scanner/save issues.
If you haven't turned on "safe texture cache" in advanced graphics options, do it. I've tested the game a little with later game saves, and I remember it crashed also when trying to use the space ship unfortunately.

Somehow I got it to save once. I don't know how it worked, because I tried it again in the same game and with all the same settings and it crashed again... But I got it saved at the very first save point, where you first get out of the ship, I haven't been able to save it since then.

But I play the NTSC version and the scanners work now. Have to have Copy EFB to RAM (real) on.

I haven't been able to get very far though, I keep getting freezes with the message about that it can't access the memory card because it's HLE'ing the BIOS, this happens in all 3 metroid primes, more frequently in MP2, and more repeatable in MP3. MP1 does it with the IL version, I have a save game that I can't load with IL now. =(

Hey, just a quick one, tell me more about IR_Pointer.zip. How does it work and where do I put the INI file?
