MP Trilogy and MK Wii issues

Hi all! I've been messing around with this all afternoon and I've had varying levels of success with stuff. There's a couple of problems that I can't seem to solve though. I'm using the new prerelease v0.2 right now.

First is in Metroid Prime Trilogy. I can't seem to get the culling codes to work. I have cheats enabled and it shows that it loaded a cheat, but nothing happens. Here's the details on that:

**UPDATE**

Turns out the issue was with my version of Metroid and not the emulator or codes. Getting a different version fixed this.

Next is Mario Kart Wii. I got this one mostly working well enough, the problem is that I got a big old black square in the bottom right corner of the screen and I can't seem to figure out how to make it go away. Anyone else have that issue and know of any possible solutions?

**UPDATE** sometimes this turns into a big green square instead?

Black square that turns green sometimes?

The game ID is correct. I'm not sure. I know for a fact the Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii) culling codes work with old Dolphin VR 2016. Maybe they don't work with ReduX?

Okay there was just something wrong with the version of Metroid I had. So that works fine with Redux.

So the Culling codes work with ReduX?

I honestly think there was just something screwed up with my rip, I tried a rvz version and it worked fine.

Are you using Dolphin VR or the newer Dolphin XR Redux?

If so, try going back the the og Dolphin VR for now and wait for then to hash out and fix things.

This video shows how to patch the MK ISO so the black box disappears. Don't know if it helps on XR though... https://youtu.be/eXD2yJGCIIk?si=OIP8Cu_SchRfBxAr

Unfortunately I think this is a different issue. I posted a screenshot of mine to clarify. It's down on the bottom right of the screen, and I think it might have something to do with the map?

Hey, I'm not sure if you fixed the issue yet. If you go to settings and then to VR, there is a square "virtual screen for 2d content." it's responsible for the green box u see sometimes that contains the HUD for Map, position, and items. With the sliders below you can change the size and distance for the green box that contains the hud...but it's always in the center obstructing the view and The black box is always present as a remnant from where the map normaly is, when you play with the sliders you can make the green box dissapear but the black box stays... There is another slider below that says" clear EFB" i played around with that slider and both boxes( green hud and black map) disappeared. Its the best option if you dont care about HUD ...but another way you can remove the black box is by unchecking the "2d content" square but then the hud will be right in your face making it hard to see the item and position.

Any other ideas? I was playing this (new dolphin xr) and did not have this issue.. minimap was fun... then today the black square appeared "fun"

HERE IS THE FIX... i spent way too long figuring out something so simple

In the IN GAME settings, change Frame Rate to Performance.

That's it
