Super Smash Bros. Melee, known in Japan as Great Melee Smash Brothers Deluxe (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズDX, Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Derakkusu), often abbreviated as SSBM or simply as Melee, is a crossover fighting game released for the Nintendo GameCube shortly after its launch in 2001.

Like its predecessor, Super Smash Bros. Melee differs from traditional fighting games in that inflicting the most damage does not guarantee victory. Instead, opposing players must inflict damage to add to the opponents percentage, to make them lighter, then force their opponents beyond the boundaries of the stage. Unlike other games of the same genre, in which moves are entered by button-input combinations, most moves in Super Smash Bros. Melee can be accessed via one-button presses and a joystick direction.

In addition to highly refining the gameplay of Super Smash Bros., Melee also sports additional stages and characters, and an expanded single player mode, called 'Adventure Mode'. The game also introduced many of the staples of its sequel, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Melee received universal acclaim from critics, and went on to become the best selling GameCube game of all time.

Problems

Saving Screenshots

Saving a screenshot in Camera Mode of Special Melee will just be a black image. You can fix this by turning off EFB Copies to Texture Only.

Enhancements

16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix

The built-in Widescreen Hack causes clipping issues. The following Gecko codes work as a replacement, causing fewer issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using these codes.

NTSC

The NTSC version of this game has 3 different revisions. You can check the revision of your ISO by going into Game Properties.

PAL

Revision patch for Netplay

For netplay to work, each player must not only be playing the same game, but have the same revision of said game. However, Melee was sold in many different revisions, and this may block some players from participating in netplay. Your netplay ISO can be patched to other revisions to work around this issue. For details and instructions, see the Smashboards post on the subject.

Texture Pack

A fantastic beautiful texture pack keeps the original art style can be found here, Melee HD Texture Pack (Dolphin) (v1.01)

There have been many Melee texture packs over the years, so don't stop at the one linked above.

Gameplay Videos

Dolphin has two performance related configuration windows: Dolphin configuration and Graphics settings, in addition to applying settings per game via their GameINI. Dolphin is a very demanding program, so configuring Dolphin the right way is very important to run titles smoothly.

System Requirements

Every game has different requirements, some titles may require a powerful computer while some other titles may not. Generally, these are the minimum recommended requirements for Dolphin.

GameCube

• OS: 64-bit edition of Windows (7 SP1 or higher), Linux, or macOS (10.12 Sierra or higher). Windows Vista SP2 and unix-like systems other than Linux are not officially supported but might work.
• Processor: A CPU with SSE2 support. A modern CPU (3 GHz and Dual Core, not older than 2008) is highly recommended.
• Graphics: A reasonably modern graphics card (Direct3D 10.0 / OpenGL 3.0). A graphics card that supports Direct3D 11 / OpenGL 4.4 / Vulkan 1.1 is recommended.

Dolphin Configuration

Dolphin is shipped with default settings for the most optimal performance, you do not usually need to change anything on your first time Dolphin setup.

Enable Dual Core

Provides a significant speedup on modern systems. Recommended on most titles, though may cause issues like crashing or graphic issues on some titles. Refer to this page for a list of titles that require disabling Dual Core.

CPU Emulator Engine

JIT Recompiler is the fastest engine and is recommended on almost all titles. There are a few titles that work better with different emulator engines but unplayably slow.

Audio

Super Smash Bros.

DSP HLE is the fastest DSP Emulator Engine. It is very reliable, and only a few titles still have problems with it. See DSP LLE for more details. Cubeb is the faster backend. Recommended on almost all titles.

Graphics Settings

Some of these settings will improve emulation compatibility in exchange of PC performance.

General

Video Backend

• Depending on the game and the graphics card: Vulkan will generally provide the best performance for Nvidia and AMD, while Direct3D 12 is preferred on Intel. Direct3D 11 is a good fallback option for stability or compatibility reasons. OpenGL should be avoided on AMD and Intel GPUs on Windows due to poorly optimized drivers.

• V-Sync helps prevent screen tearing.
• Use Fullscreen toggles between fullscreen and windowed mode.
  • Exclusive Fullscreen is available on Windows, it gives Dolphin full control over the graphics card. This results in minimal latency which is important for competitive games such as Super Smash Bros. Melee. More details on its benefits can be found on Progress Report of July 2014. D3D and Vulkan are well supported for Exclusive Fullscreen. Support on OpenGL is more of a hack. Exclusive fullscreen is enabled by default when it is supported, it can be disabled by checking the Borderless Fullscreen checkbox under Graphics > Advanced > Misc.

Shader Compilation

• Specialized (Default) should be used as a fallback for older systems or GPUs that do not work well with ubershaders such as some mobile GPUs.
• Hybrid Ubershaders is the recommended setting for most GPUs as it reduces shader compilation stutter with minimal performance impact.
• Exclusive Ubershaders is the most effective at reducing shader compilation stutter but should NOT be used unless you've encountered stuttering with Hybrid Ubershaders and have a very powerful GPU.
• Skip Drawing is NOT recommended as it causes rendering issues in many games.
• Compile Shaders Before Starting can reduce in game shader compilation stutter once a cache is built in exchange for longer game startup times.

Enhancements

The emulation can suffer slowdowns from extreme multiplier options in Internal Resolution, Anisotropic Filtering, and Anti-Aliasing settings. Start with minimum option like '1x Native (640x528)', and go up from there until you can find the highest setting without slowdown. Keep in mind non-1x options may cause graphical issues in some titles.

Hacks

• Skip EFB Access from CPU - Provides a speed boost. However it provides this boost at the expense of emulation accuracy, breaking some titles and removing effects. It's off by default for greater emulation accuracy.
• Ignore Format Changes - The vast majority of titles don't care about this, and it provides a small boost. However a small number of titles hate this setting. It's enabled by default.
• Store EFB Copies to Texture Only - Enabled by default. Disable it only when running a game that requires it. Refer this page for a list of titles that require disabling it.

• Texture Cache - Setting the slider on the 'Fast' position will improve performance greatly, but it may cause graphical glitches in some games (Most commonly missing text).
• Fast Depth Calculation - Uses a less accurate method of calculating depth values. Gives a small speedup, but can cause flickering textures.
• Disable Bounding Box - Don't emulate bounding box calculation, which is only required for a limited set of titles, mostly Paper Mario titles.
• Vertex Rounding - Rounding 2D vertices to whole pixels, fixes graphical glitches seen in several titles at higher internal resolutions.
