Anyone know if Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii) works with Dolphin?

I just picked up this game today. (Thanks for reminding me that it just came out!:thumb

Anyway, I obviously have the NTSC-U version and the game *appears* to brandish a golden tint, suggesting that the game is DVD9. I assume that the NTSC versions will be unplayable due to this. I haven't yet tested it in Dolphin as the game is still dumping. I'll update after testing.

You will update and I will wait...

Metroid Prime 1 - 1.5GB
Metroid Prime 2 - 1.5GB
Metroid Prime 3 - 2.5+GB

Interestingly, the game starts just fine! I expected to see the same "insert disc" error that SSBB NTSC gives.

Unfortunately, only the bootloader runs. The trilogy loads a boot menu of sorts that plays an intro video, allows you to pick a Mii (to represent your savegame), and allows you to choose your game and the game's difficulty (normal or veteran).

Before choosing the game, however, the game will attempt to connect via WiiConnect24. Just wait until it times out and continue.

I've noticed on my Wii that the Wiimote disconnects and then reconnects after I have picked the game I want to play. This suggests that the loader points to the appropriate gameboot. I suppose this is why Dolphin cannot continue as loading another gameboot is probably not supported at the moment. You just end up with a black screen and frames no longer being rendered.

Brawl's error wasn't related to Dual Layer support (as F|RES said), so no wonder this game runs well.

so can we play it on Dolphin?

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

no.

You can, but with LLE plugin, which is really slow.

...since when was ES_Launch implemented in Dolphin? Multi-Dol Games probably don't work yet, unless I missed something. Trilogy doesnt run for me.

Issue 233 - dolphin-emu - Games that use multiple executables don't load (Sonic Gems Collection, Zelda Collection, demo discs, etc) - Project Hosting on Google Code

One of the posts suggest running these games in interpreter mode, select the game, make a savestate, exit, switch to JIT, and load the savestate. Haven't tried it myself yet. It might not work for MP: T though.

My MP3 worked fine until the scanner part. Was a bit slow at 70% speed too ugh.

Yes, Metroid Prime 3 works. Metroid Prime: Trilogy however...

to get the single games to work you have to take apart that iso and change the DOLs...in the Dolphin forum someone described the process in the MPTrilogy thread.
Then you can boot MP 1, 2, & 3 - only with LLE plugin, though.

Trilogy is all of them combined into one disc?

Thank you for the info.

I've thought about trying this method but never got around to actually doing it. Sucks that it requires the LLE plugin.

Yup. Playing Metroid Prime 1 & 2 with the Wiimote is great fun. Also makes the battle with Ridley in MP1 A LOT easier.

I've only beat 1 and 2. My wii isnt working properly sent it back to nintendo for repairs so I never got to beat part 3 yet. I wish the emulator worked correctly with it but I appreciate the hard work they put into it.
