Decompilation
About this project

A native port for Windows and Linux built from the matching Melee decompilation. It plays online with rollback netcode, room codes and a competitive lobby (Windows and Linux players can face each other), renders in HD, runs m-ex mod discs and loose mods with an in-game browser for SSBM Nucleus mods, and can be scripted in Lua. Adds the Envoy roguelite mode, solo or co-op. A public test build, so expect rough edges.

What you need

Your own Super Smash Bros. Melee disc image (GameCube, NTSC 1.02, GALE01); mod discs work too.
