Pikmin (GameCube)

This page contains notes for the game Pikmin (GameCube).

Windows Executable#

To get the Windows debugging executable to run on your machine, follow these steps:

1. Extract the entire Pikmin ISO onto a folder on your computer.
2. Get a copy of MSVCRTD.DLL, very carefully search around the internet for one of the following versions:
   • 6.0.8168.8 (md5: 2760781da57e727ba519af0139b4b1bc)
   • 6.0.8797.0 (md5: 01c72cfcaaed3a7564e5b893b7712d28)
   • 6.0.9782.0 [SP6] (md5: 65f232ae50755a6fbf72dac2977a118f)
3. Place MSVCRTD.DLL on the same folder as sysBootup.exe.
4. Create two shortcuts to sysBootup.exe, one to start the AtxServer module and the other to load the PikiGame module:
   • for the AtxServer shortcut, after the filepath to sysBootup.exe in the Target section, add " +direct 127.0.0.1 +client AtxServer" without quotation marks.
   • for the PikiGame shortcut, add "+output +plugins plugins +direct 127.0.0.1 +client PikiGame", also without quotation marks.
5. Run the AtxServer shortcut first to start the server, then run the PikiGame shortcut. Always run the AtxServer shortcut first otherwise any other debugging feature outside PikiGame will refuse to work!

Running The Windows Executable On Linux Using Wine#

If you are trying to run using Linux under the Wine compatibility layer:

Get the MSVCRTD.DLL, paste inside the sysBootup.exe folder as requested in the Windows tutorial, and run the following commands in order using the Linux terminal:

1. Open a terminal and run the following command to open the AtxServer:
:wine /path/to/executable/sysBootup.exe +direct 127.0.0.1 +client AtxServer

2. With the AtxServer running, open a separate terminal and run the following command:
:wine /path/to/executable/sysBootup.exe +output +plugins plugins +direct 127.0.0.1 +client PikiGame

Remember to substitute "/path/to/executable/" to your system path where sysBootup.exe is stored.
