New Play Control! Pikmin is the re-release of the cult classic Pikmin on the Wii as part of the New Play Control! series.

Problems

Crash

The game may crash randomly with the OpenGL backend, use D3D to avoid this.

Template:SPAL VersionTemplate:/s

Since the new Zelda HLE merge, the Wii PAL version of Pikmin 1 (R9IP01) doesn't boot with the HLE audio backend. Refer issue 8968. Fixed by 4.0-8342.

Template:SSound IssuesTemplate:/s

When using DSP HLE, sound effects are distorted and the volume is extremely high. Use DSP LLE to fix these. Should be fixed with 4.0-7286.

Revision OS CPU GPU Result Tester
r4089 Windows XP Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 @ 2.13GHz NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT The graphics are perfect with no bugs and the game always runs at full speed (50/60FPS). This game doesn't need a hefty PC to run at full speed, i have the audio throttle enabled to keep the game at a steady speed so it doesn't run at 80FPS.

The audio is good but can be buggy sometimes. You can create a save game and play right through the game as you would on a Wii. Pikmin Wii (NPC) on Dolphin Wii/GC Emulator (720p HD)

r7128 Windows 7 Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 3.2GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 896MB Tested NA version, runs fine, with minimal glitches. Some slowdown, but very playable. Tested through start of second level. Occasional nasty slowdown after changing to fullscreen, difficult to replicate. Shadow flicker on some grass types. Some sound crackling with DSP HLE. MaJoR
r7408 Windows 7 Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 3.2GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 896MB Runs better in r7408, but still has some glitches. Slowdown at start of a stage and flicker with grass are both gone. Sound crackling remains. Observed nasty slowdown when turning on "EFB Enable CPU Access". MaJoR
