Odrannnn/MetroidPrimePort v0.33.1

0.33.1 hotfix

on GitHub

A bug-fix release for 0.33.0: a crash with MSAA on, blended third-person animation, pointer and cheat-menu fixes, and Prime Remastered weapon effects improvements.

You need your own disc image: Metroid Prime USA (GM8E01, revisions 1.00, 1.01 and 1.02) or the experimental PAL release (GM8P01). No disc image or game assets are included.

What changed

Fixes

• Fixed MSAA on crahs where a fog volume is on screen: Tallon Canyon's Root Cavern door, Magmoor's Tallon elevator room (#200). MSAA no longer has to be turned off to get past them.
• Fixed crash after switching the Remastered mod off and reloading mods.
• A door opened before a savestate opens again after loading it (#201).
• A texture copy or depth read the renderer has no pipeline for is now skipped with a warning instead of ending the game.

Third person

• Better third person animations
• Cheat sliders no longer max out capacities or fire when you scroll over them.
• Gyro moves the lock-on free aim pointer at the Pointer speed setting (#188).
• An analog L press in the Scan Visor locks the point under the pointer (#190).

Prime Remastered

• Muzzle flashes, combo effects and the ice shell pulse now work the way they do in Remastered.
• Projectiles: lights last until their generator dies, ricochets end correctly, explosions step at a fixed 1/60 s, plasma shots start where the shipped game fires them from, and projectiles draw in the X-ray Visor.
• The hologram beam swap splits the gun at a clip plane and draws the hand only in X-ray.
• Underwater bubbles when you fire, Phazon fire and Phazon2nd effects fixed, VFX meshes tinted by vertex colour, and no global particle cap.
• Fixed the PBR backlight's bind pose.
• The Phazon Suit's aura only distorts the halo around Samus again, not her whole body.
• Remastered models that stand in for retail ones now draw, and the retail model they replace is hidden (for example, Central Dynamo's grate floor around the generator).

Issues addressed

• #188 Lock-on free aim (gyro speed)
• #190 Pointer aim cursor in the Scan Visor (analog L)
• #200 Crash entering Root Cavern from Tallon Canyon, and at Magmoor after the elevator, with MSAA on
• #201 Door from Overgrown Cavern to Transport Tunnel C refuses to open after a savestate load
