SSunnKing's Open Nectar runs Pikmin (2001) and Pikmin 2 (2004) natively on Windows, Linux and Android (macOS from source), translating the GameCube's GX graphics to OpenGL. It's not Dolphin or any other emulator: it builds on projectPiki's Pikmin and Pikmin 2 decompilations and adds a native port layer. Pikmin 2 is playable start to finish from USA or European discs, with 30/60/120 FPS, the original audio engine, a randomizer, speedrun mode, Hard and Permadeath rules, HD texture packs and touch controls on Android. v1.0.6 landed Oct 20, the third release in two days. The creator says AI tools helped write it and that they review and test the code themselves.
