Metroid Prime Trilogy, separate the games

Foreword: Why do this?

You're going to ask me: Why do this? Well it can be useful for lots of little things, for example being able to burn Metroid Prime or Metroid Prime 2 onto a single DVD (and even Metroid Prime 3, but if that's your goal, just take that game alone ^^).

1 - Let's download what we need
Pack Metroid Prime 1 , 2 , 3 Wii.zip

This pack contains: Wii Scrubber 1.4 and WII ISO Gametitle Renamer v3 + a blank file, you'll understand its purpose later ;)

You must also own the ISO of Metroid Prime Trilogy, but I won't provide a link for that :roll:

2 - Separating the games

a. Extract the archive wherever you want and launch WiiScrubber

b. Image unavailable (removed by its host)
do "load ISO" and choose your Metroid Prime Trilogy ISO

c. Image unavailable (removed by its host)
Now, you'll need to extract the .dol of the game you want. Right-click on that .dol then click on extract. See the image to know which .dol belongs to which game.

d. Copy the .dol you extracted over all the other .dol files. To do that, right-click on the other .dol files and click on "Replace".

e. Image unavailable (removed by its host)
Now, we're going to use the "blank" file to save space. In the fe folder, replace each file with this blank file one by one using the right-click Replace function. Then do the same for the other folders besides the one for the game you want to keep. For example if you want to keep MP1, replace all the files in the MP2 & MP3 folders.

PS: To see whether you've replaced a given file, look at the 3rd value in brackets:
example of a normal file: [0x1] [0x65B9A434] [0x5EAEDE0] [299]
example of an empty file: [0x1] [0x65B9A434] [0x0] [299]
The 3rd value of empty files is always [0x0]. Whereas, for a "normal" file, the value can vary.

f. There you go, your ISO is ready. Now let's change its ID to tell it apart.

3 - Change its ID

a. Launch your new .iso with "WIIISORenamerv3.exe".
b. You can change it however you want, then do Save ISO
c. And there you go! :D .

:arff: that could work for wiiflow too. maybe more convenient for the lazy ones.

One thing though is you need to be careful not to choose an ID that's already used by another game otherwise savegames would be a disaster... I don't know what that would result in.

For wiiflow no worries for those who install with WBFS manager... no way to install a game over another with the same ID.

Thanks :bravo:
