I always used a real Wiimote and Nunchuk for it (connected via Bluetooth). I haven't played it with Keyboard and Mouse, though. Only minor problems, aside from the rare 1 or 2 frame/s long stutter which I blame on my external HDD (EDIT: It's actually from shader compilation and is apparently an issue that goes away the longer you play?) I have an Intel Core i5-6600 CPU, an nVidia GTX 1060 (6GB) graphics card, 16 GB of RAM, Dolphin version 5.0, running this stuff off of my external HDD and it plays as fluid as can be. You probably will need a halfway decent PC to run the games at 60fps though, and an even beefier one for HD or even 4k. Here's the entry for Metroid Prime Trilogy.Īccording to that it runs just fine with only very minor problems. Honestly, when you don't have a Wii Remote/Nunchuk/Sensor Bar on hand, the Steam Controller is the absolute best way to play Wii games on Dolphin, generally speaking.ĭolphin has a huge Wiki listing (almost?) every GameCube and Wii game that runs (or doesn't run) on it. (I accomplished that by making the right pad into a virtual analog within Steam, that I set as the Wii Remote cursor control within Dolphin, so that the cursor centers whenever I lift my thumb off the touch-pad.) It's like your thumb is a tiny little Wii Remote. Metroid Prime is fine with an Xbox 360 controller, and it's absolutely excellent with a Steam Controller, where the right touchpad controls the cursor's location (absolute, not relative - so that any given location on the touchpad corresponds to the same cursor location on-screen, every time). Metroid Prime is fine with a mouse, but you're gonna have to get used to mouse controls that turn your camera based on the cursor's position as opposed to using 1:1 mouse movement to camera movement. With that said, in my experience a bit of stuttering still exists, but becomes less and less common as you progress through the game. I had very little stuttering and I wasn't playing on an ishiruuka build (because I got much better performance on normal Dolphin in general).

I've only played Metroid Prime 1 and 2 on Dolphin, but they were the trilogy versions.
