Metroid Prime

About

Metroid Prime is a 2002 action-adventure game developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the GameCube, the first Metroid game with 3D graphics and a first-person view. This is a work-in-progress decompilation of the GameCube Metroid Prime, currently supporting the USA v1.088 version. The repository contains no game assets or assembly, so an existing copy of the game is required.

Getting started

This is a development project, not a playable port. To build it, copy your own game disc image into the repository, then run the configure script and ninja; Windows, macOS and Linux are supported.

Known issues & limitations
