Pokemon TCG Live Credential Extractor

A tool to transfer Pokemon TCG Live authentication tokens from a working Windows installation to Wine. This is necessary because the game uses a Unity extension called Vuplex to show a login window when initially logging into the game, however it appears to use low level functionality that is not yet compatible with Wine, causing a crash. This tool allows you to bypass the broken login functionality by exporting your credentials from a Windows machine to the Wine prefix so you can skip Vuplex altogether.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create and configure a new Wine prefix:

WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/prefixes/ptcgl winecfg

2. If using wine-staging, navigate to Staging tab and disable CSMT
3. Optionally install DXVK (see https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk#how-to-use)
4. Install VC runtime with `winetricks:

WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/prefixes/ptcgl winetricks vcrun2017

5. Install PTCG Live in Wine but do not launch it when finished:

WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/prefixes/ptcgl wine PokemonTCGLiveInstaller.msi

6. Log into Pokemon TCG Live on Windows Machine
7. After loading into the game, exit Pokemon TCG Live
8. Click Start, type regedit, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->pokemon->Pokemon TCG Live
9. Right click Pokemon TCG Live and click Export, copy the .reg file to the Linux machine:

10. Download Cred.exe from the releases page or compile it with Visual Studio and run Cred.exe read from the Windows command line
11. Copy the token shown, as well as the Cred.exe file to the Linux machine
12. Run WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/prefixes/tcgl wine Cred.exe write <token>
13. Run WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/prefixes/tcgl wine regedit /path/to/reg/file
14. Launch PTCG Live on Linux
