Metroid Prime 1 has few rooms with long load times but the few that do take a while are cut way shorter with the eshop version.
the version order goes like this: GC version, Trilogy Disc version, Trilogy eShop version, Trilogy homebrew USB loader.

notes:
- the GC version was played on a Wii with BC.
- the Trilogy USB homebrew clip comes from a Wii
- the Wii is connected through a Wii2HDMI adapter to a Framemeister to make the signal HDMI and 1080p.
- Trilogy Disc and eShop clips are from Wii U set to 1080p
- eShop release uses an SSD since it's the fastest storage medium on Wii U.
- Wii homebrew uses an HDD with WBFS file system.
- Trilogy saves work for all Trilogy versions since the game itself is the same.
- the load times aren't too bad since this game was made with them in mind (for Prime 3 they dropped the ball in this area)
- the video is 720p max because my capture card doesn't do 1080p60 and i sacrificed resolution for framerate.
