I've recently decided to play Metroid Prime Trilogy thanks to my newest hardware, and came across a freeze/CTD in Metroid Prime 2.
When tyring to use the Morph Ball cannon, like the one found in Temple Grounds - Grand Windchamber, I got a freeze then immediate CTD.
I have to try other morph ball cannons to check repeatability (there are multiple cannons in Temple Grounds) and try with different config for testing purpose (3xIR, no external textures, etc...)
Bug discovered in Dolphin 2412, using HD Textures for all games, exclusive Ubershaders, running in 1440p (4x internal res) with 8xMSAA and got a solid 60FPS through all games.

I'll walk you through some steps for a test.
- Open Dolphin. Right click on Metroid Prime Trilogy in the game list and select "Export Wii Save". Save the file somewhere where you can find it.
- Go to Dolphin's directory, where the EXE is. There, place a text file named "portable" (with extension, portable.txt) next to Dolphin.exe. Run Dolphin. You'll notice that your saves and settings are gone. Don't worry, your saves are safe and sound, this is just for this test.
- DO NOT CHANGE ANY SETTINGS THAT I DO NOT SPECIFY.
- With Dolphin open (in portable.txt state), go to the menu bar and go to tools > Import Wii Save. Select your Metroid Prime Trilogy save.
- Now run Metroid Prime Trilogy (you can add the path or just drag and drop the file into Dolphin) and see if the crash still reproduces with default settings.
Let us know how it goes!
To get your settings and saves back, just delete portable.txt when you are done.

Hello Maylmilae.
Just made some testing before seeing your reply. The issue DOES NOT appear when using the same configuration (everything including custom textures) but with 3xIR.
I could try mutiple cannons flawlessly, with and without custom textures, in 3xIR and 4xIR. The issue only appears in this area also.
Just had a CTD before typing this : after the cannon lanched Samus to the "SunBurst" platform, I got freeze and CTD when unmorphing (4xIR)
Again, did not appear in 3xIR.
I'm okay with 1080p so I'll stick to it for now (attached a screenshot of the area for eventual reference)
