Did you know that you can run the original Pikmin on Windows without an emulator by extracting the ROM files and adding a copy of MSVCRTD.DLL (used in Win98) to that same folder?
This has been known for years now, but blew my mind when I found out just recently. Here it is running on my PC!
@UKFilmNerd From what I understand, resizing the window changes the resolution? there’s more info here: https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_(GameCube)/Windows_Executable
Unfortunately no sound it seems :/
exactly, and has it been evaluated to determine which calls are needed to draw / produce sound, so it can be done on other os's...
and flipped, can this be used to determine how to make calls for drawing on the gamecube?
- and if you don't know I'm gonna be calling in someone who probably does know (:
I should go to work now, but obviously, I had to check, and yes the person who I know who does this sort of investigation writes stuff for the cutting room floor and therefore I am not surprized to find the writeup there...
