Links, repository & detailsAbout
Pikmin 2 is Nintendo's 2004 real-time strategy puzzle game for the GameCube and the direct sequel to Pikmin, in which Captain Olimar returns to the Pikmin planet to collect treasure. This is a work-in-progress decompilation of Pikmin 2 for the GameCube, supporting the USA, PAL and Japanese retail releases as well as two USA demo builds. The team says a US build made in non-matching mode is, to the best of its knowledge, functionally equivalent and compiles entirely from C++ source.
How it differs from the original
Building in non-matching mode lets modders edit every source file and add new source files to the game executable.
Getting started
Install Python and ninja, clone the repository, and use the Dolphin emulator to extract the system data from your own Pikmin 2 disc into the folder for your release. Then run the configure script (choosing another release with its version option if needed) and build with ninja.
