Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 02 Oct 00:21

Super Smash Bros. Melee running natively on an original Xbox. Not an emulator: the decompiled game is compiled for the Xbox and drawn by its own GPU.

Fully playable. Matches run around 30-60 fps depending on the stage, menus at 60, and the game always ticks at full speed. It's still in development, so a crash can happen, but it's unlikely.

You need your own disc image of Super Smash Bros. Melee NTSC-U 1.02 (GALE01). Nothing from Nintendo is included.

Install

  1. Unzip Melee-X-*.zip.
  2. Put your Melee disc image in the Melee-X folder next to default.xbe.
  3. FTP the whole Melee-X folder to your Xbox (for example F:\Applications\) and launch it from your dashboard.

Want a disc instead? tools/make-xiso packs everything into a burnable ISO. The full steps, saves, settings and controls are in the README.
