You need your own disc image: Metroid Prime Trilogy (R3ME01 USA, R3MP01 PAL), Metroid Prime USA (GM8E01, revisions 1.00, 1.01 and 1.02), PAL (GM8P01). No disc image or game assets are included.
What changed
Video
- The resolution scale goes up to 8x
Controllers
- New Precise stick deadzones (Controls > Controller settings, off by default): the Stick and C-stick deadzone sliders become the only deadzone. The game's own ~12% dead tilt is offset, and tilt past a slider starts from zero instead of jumping in at its edge. Twin-stick aim and flick stick follow it.
- Button prompts switch to the right icon as soon as the input context changes (scan text, Morph Ball) with Separate menu buttons, instead of up to a quarter second later.
Android
- The pipeline cache no longer fails with a disk I/O error once it grows past ~2 MiB, which turned it off and made every launch compile its shaders again.
