So I love the Metroid Prime series, and recently heard about the possibility of custom textures. Went searching, no one's done the Trilogy yet. So, I decided to try it myself. I initially tried ESRGAN, but quickly lost heart because it just couldn't live up to my standards of quality. However, shortly after that, I found TopazLabs' Gigapixel AI, and man, what a difference. And since the work was done, I figured I'd share.This is just a rough first draft, really. I fully plan on going through and touching up as many textures as I can. But the 4x upscales with Gigapixel are all done, and it still looks fantastic, even without the manual touch-up. Even after weeding out all of the obviously junk images (and let me tell you, there were TONS of them), and the mips I didn't need to upscale (since we have a tool on the forum that automatically puts mipmaps into DDS files), there are still almost 25k textures that were upscaled, including font textures (15k in MP3 alone).

The hack altered the g. When you quit, the game will return to the NES Metroid title screen. In other words, if you want to save your game, you need to score a 'Game Over' through dying. The NES Classics edition of Metroid will let you save on the fly by pressing Start, the Up + Select to each the Password screen.
In Metroid II, Samus travels to the Metroid homeworld, SR3888, to exterminate the species, but saves a hatchling Metroid that bonds to her and delivers it to the Ceres research station for study. In Super Metroid, Ridley steals the hatchling and takes it to Zebes, where the Space Pirates are attempting to clone the Metroids. Samus is nearly. I have just tryed a hd 1080p metroid prime youtube video with Vr player and this is realy awesome this game realy fit for vr experience even it is not 3d you really feel you are inside samus helmet and the screen door effect is really low.You need just to configure vr player in order to increase the fov.
Yes, I know those are all from Corruption, but that's what I was doing when I finished up, so that was the first I took pictures of. However, I did do this transition comparison of the Phazon Mines cutscene from MP1 as well: Video on DropboxSpeaking of the separate games, I can confirm that the textures are interchangeable with their standalone, and to make that easy (if you like playing one standalone over trilogy), I made separate ZIPs of each individual game's textures in their respective game's region-free folder name.
Also of note, unfortunately the menu backgrounds and endings of all the games (and the intro for Echoes) are all pre-rendered videos, so unfortunately there's no way to upscale those (trying to save the PNGs of each video frame and upscale them seems to be able to load fast enough, but it results in some pretty annoying visual glitches).

If you come across any portions of any of the games that you think are not upscaled, let me know where, and if you know how, send me a rip of the textures in that area so I can double check.

MP1 Text and Logs Update 5/17/2020
Download this only if you got the pack before the date listed above, as otherwise it was in the ZIP you downloaded. To update, navigate to your Dolphin Texture Load folder, delete the MP1 logs folder (either GM8logs or R3MMP1logs), then extract this into the same directory from which you just deleted the logs folder. If in doubt, just redownload the pack above that you wish to use, as they have the proper files (and directory structures).
Now here is something really cool. Thanks to a custom version of the Dolphin emulator, called PrimeHack, PC gamers can play the main trilogy of Metroid Prime like never before. And by that, we mean with proper keyboard and mouse controls, as well as higher FOV values.
PrimeHack currently supports Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Similarly to the original Dolphin emulator, gamers will need an .ISO of the GameCube versions Metrid: Prime Trilogy Wii version in order to play them.
So while we are not talking about native PC versions of these three Metroid Prime, this is the closer we’ll ever get to them. After all, Nintendo does not plan to ever release these games on our platform.
As you may have expected, these first-person games play wonderfully with mouse and keyboard. The fact that you can also adjust the FOV is a big plus, making the games feel better on a PC monitor.
You can download the latest version of PrimeHack from here. You can find more details on the creator’s Discord server.
For those not interested in downloading the emulator, we’ve included below a video showing Metroid Prime being played with mouse and keyboard.
Enjoy!
