Metroid Prime 2 Echoes native on PC and Android

Echoes Unbound ports the GameCube's Metroid Prime 2 natively to Windows, Linux, Mac and Android, with widescreen, gyro aiming and mods.


No emulator

Echoes Unbound, the port byOdrannnn, runs Metroid Prime 2: Echoes without an emulator. It is built from the game's decompilation, and rendering goes through Aurora (SDL3 and WebGPU).


On which machines

Windows (x86-64 and ARM64), Linux, macOS on Apple silicon, Android, and iOS as an experimental option. It accepts the US (G2ME01) and PAL (G2MP01) GameCube discs, as well as those of Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii (R3ME01 and R3MP01).


What changes

• Widescreen with an adapted HUD, render scale, and high frame rates with interpolation.
• Mouse, twin-stick, gyro or pointer aiming, with fully rebindable controls.
• Save states, quick resume, and memory card import and export with Dolphin and PrimeHack.
• Mods and an HD texture pack.

A pre-release

The first public pre-release, 0.6.0, came out on October 28, and four more followed within a day (0.6.4 on the 29th). The author warns that sharing saves with an emulator may damage them for now. Back up your memory cards.

You need an image of your own disc: no game files are included. The same author is also porting the first game, with MetroidPrimePort, at version 0.36.0.
