Super Smash Bros. Brawl, known in Japan as Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Ekkusu (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズX), often abbreviated as SSBB or simply as Brawl, is the third installment in the Super Smash Bros. series of crossover fighting games, developed by an ad hoc development team consisting of Sora, Game Arts, and staff from other developers, and published by Nintendo for the Wii video game console.
Like its predecessors, the object of Brawl is to knock an opponent off the screen. It features a greatly expanded single-player mode known as The Subspace Emissary (SSE). This mode is a plot-driven, side-scrolling beat 'em up featuring FMV cutscenes and playable characters from the game. Like all Smash games, Brawl supports multiplayer battles with up to four combatants, but it is the first game of its franchise to feature online battles, via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Emulation Information
GameCube Controller Conflict
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is capable of using both GameCube controllers and Wii Remotes at the same time. If a GameCube controller is being emulated or is connected via the Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U, the GameCube controller will be prioritized over Wii Remote for its assigned port and the Wii Remote will be assigned to another port or lose most of its functionality, typically only reacting to the Home button being pressed. Use the mapped GameCube Controller or disable it to resolve this.
Controller Map Overlap
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is capable of using both GameCube controllers and Wii Remotes. If a physical controller is set to emulate both a GameCube Controller and a Wii Remote concurrently, it will operate both devices at the same time. To fix, migrate controls to use separate physical controllers.
SDHC Cards
Support for Virtual SDHC cards (4-32GiB in size) was added in 5.0-5044, solving issue 8823. See here for help with creating a virtual SDHC card. The SDHC Extension 1.1[Bero] code [1] needs to be included in your GCT file found within sd.raw's codes folder.
It is recommended to use build 5.0-5821 or later to avoid issue 10636.
Both issue 10461 and issue 10514 are known to affect SD emulation and are more prominent when using a virtual SDHC card.
Subspace Emissary Videos
Many disc images of this game are DVD5 (4.7 GB) altered versions of the original DVD9 (8.5 GB) release. In these most of the videos are removed, resulting in black screens or the same video being repeated all the time when playing the Subspace Emissary. Following these videos, the character select screen may appear; however the names represent the characters for the next level. Dolphin cannot fix this problem; the only solution is to rip a full unaltered ISO.
Problems
WiiConnect24 / RiiConnect24
The WiiConnect24/RiiConnect24 features of this title cannot be used because Dolphin does not currently support them. Refer issue 10200.
Black Background in Off-Screen Hoop
When a character goes off-screen, it will display the character in a hoop, but the background is black. To fix, turn off Store EFB Copies to Texture Only.
Saving Screenshots
Taking a screenshot from the pause menu will produce a garbled mess or black. To fix, turn off EFB Copies to Texture Only.
NES and SNES Masterpieces
Texture Cache Accuracy needs to be set to Safe because sometimes the game will fail to update its frames.
NES Masterpieces
Store EFB Copies to Texture Only needs to be turned off because a black screen will show instead of the game.
Classic Mode Rectangle
After winning a stage in classic mode, the game is supposed to zoom in on the character, and then partition them off into a rectangle with the game stats around them. See issue 2828. Enabling Real XFB (before 5.0-5874) or disabling Store XFB Copies to Texture Only (starting with 5.0-5874) fixes the issue.
'With Friends' Menu Problems
After connecting to the Nintendo WiFi Connection, when you enter into 'Brawl', 'Friend roster', 'Team Multi-Man Brawl', or 'Home-Run Contest' sub-menus the game will suddenly drop to 1-5FPS and display SrcPixelEngine.cpp:193 W[PE]: (r16) ALPHAREAD errors in the Log. This is due to a known slow/problematic codepath, and can be avoided by enabling Skip EFB access from CPU. This error only appears when interacting with Nintendo WiFi Connection menus. See issue 6553. Fixed in 5.0-9638.
Saves Not Working
On rare occasions the game will create a save but be unable to read or write to it. The exact reason why this happens is unknown. The save file is now corrupted. It should be deleted and recreated:
Smash Bros Melee Emulator File Download For Mac
- Right click on the game from Dolphin game list and select 'Open Wii save folder'.
- Delete the contents within the data folder.
- Restart the game. Normally it should take several seconds to create a new save file.
Fixed since at least 5.0-10516.
Enhancements
HD Texture Pack
Modding
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is unusually moddable for a console game. The gecko code 'File Patch Code' created by Phantom Wings can read fan-made patches from an SD card on top of Brawl's on-disc data. These patches range from simple character skins and balance adjustments to more complex modifications such as additional characters and extra stages more complex than the Brawl's Stage Builder allows.
Dolphin can virtualize a SD card, which is necessary for Brawl mods; Virtual SD Card Guide provides a tutorial for this.
A regression introduced in 5.0-2712 may cause gecko code mods to not load properly. This was fixed by 5.0-3301. See issue 10187.
Netplay Patch
There are multiple revisions of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but the online community seems to prefer revision 1. The patch linked below can downgrade a revision 2 disc (MD5: 52ce7160ced2505ad5e397477d0ea4fe) to revision 1 (MD5: d18726e6dfdc8bdbdad540b561051087). Download the Revision 2 downgrade (71.7MB) and use the included patcher to revise revision 2 images to revision 1.

Would be easy to forget the game is being emulated if it weren't for the beautiful high resolution graphics. | Helvetica |
| 3.0-201 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-2410M @ 2.3GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M | Graphics and character textures are perfect. 4 players lower the FPS, but 2 players work fine. Cut-scenes play awfully slowly and they seem to be lower-pitched. I've tried everything to correct that, but it doesn't fix it. | Doubled-revolutions |
| 3.0-204 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-2670QM @ 2.2GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M | Very smooth at 1600x900 on DirectX 11 at 2x Native (55-60FPS in-game). Results screen in Vs. Mode is garbled though and the screenshot tool is broken. Setting EFB Copies to RAM fixes them, but causes massive slowdown (slows to 25-30FPS in-game). | Marioman1 |

| 3.0-458 | Mac OS X 10.7.3 | Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.26GHz | NVIDIA GeForce 9400M | 40-60FPS in game, slower with more players, runs well for the most part. SSE works perfectly so far but for a few audio glitches | Ub3rRoy |
| 3.0-735 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4.20GHz | ATI Radeon HD 5800 | Perfect, 60FPS in-game (up to two human player tested), 55-60 sometimes in menu; Backend:Direct3D9, V-Sync:on (minor slowdown with this off), Fullscreen resolution: 1920x1080, Internal Resolution: 4x Native, Anti-Aliasing: 4x SSAA, Anisotropic Filtering: 2x, DSP Emulator Engine: DSP LLE. | Mazza |
| 3.0-758 | Ubuntu 12.04 | Intel Core i7-2670QM | NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M | Perfect, with FPS ~60 during gameplay (2X Native) and limit FPS in 65 or off. | |
| 3.0-804 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-3570K | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti | Perfect, 60FPS (even with 4 players); DX9, 2x native, EFB to RAM, AA off, AF 16x, and LLE audio. | soren121 |
| 3.5-367 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.1GHz | ATI Radeon HD 5450 | Perfect, 60FPS and 100% speed. | |
| 3.5-367 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-650 @ 3.2GHz | ATI Radeon HD 5570 | Near perfect with mostly 100% speed. Rare sound problems with Directsound can occur (scratchy sound and sound distortion), which are disappearing after the match is over. Changing the Audio Backend to XAudio2 seems to fix this problem. Those sound issues should be extremely rare then. But XAudio2 seemed to be the reason, why the game may crash during Single-player (Classic Mode). Would recommend using Directsound. Newer revisions of Dolphin 3.5 (like 3.5-1769 or 3.5-2381) do not fix the problems and the game runs less flawless with those tested revisions. There are also some slowdowns on curtain stages and in some videos of the Adventure Mode. | DARK |
| 3.5-1154 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.7GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 | New-AX-HLE 2.0 merger. HLE works like a charm. And thanks to previous updates, so does EFB to Texture :D. | MayImilae |
| 3.5-1387 | Windows 8 | AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6850 | Okay. 50-60FPS, stable. | |
| 4.0 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-3770K | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti | Graphic Settings altered, still full speed | Zcair |
| 4.0.1 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.4GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 @ 850MHz | Game works fine and is fully playable but there are graphical bugs and slowdowns. Using EFB to RAM causes major slowdowns. Changing texture accuracy to safe causes major slowdowns. Changing AA setting causes major slowdowns. Most games 4X SSAA isn't slow for me but this game has some kind of problem with it. | Kilobytez95 |
| 4.0.2 | Windows 8.1 | AMD FX-8350 | AMD Radeon R9 270X | some bugs but full speed,with altered graphics options it slows downs a little (55FPS) | Zcair |
| 4.0.2 | Windows 8 | Intel Core i5-4200u | Intel HD Graphics 4400 | Minimal settings, stable FPS | Zcair |
| 4.0.2 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-2630QM | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M | Runs fair enough. 47-60FPS, depending on settings. | BillyAlt |
| 4.0.2 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-4960X @ 4.6GHz | NVIDIA GeForce 780 Ti | Constant 100%, works beautifully. Green rectangle appears after a battle but doesn't make any difference to gameplay. Completed SSE without any problems + tested for around 6 hours otherwise without finding any issues. Using Dolphin Recommended Settings, 4 x Internal, OpenGL, 16 x CSAA | himalayan |
| 4.0.2 | Arch Linux Linux | Intel Core i7-2600 @ 3.4GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 | Perfect. | 10n45 |

If you don't care about Masterpieces, leave Texture Cache Accuracy on Fast, and EFB Copies on Textures to gain a lot of FPS. | Mangaman1001 |
| 5.0-rc-34 | SteamOS 2.60 | Intel Core i3-4170 @ 3.7GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti | OGL, 3x IR, no other enhancements, NTSC-U. Fullspeed in any situation and glitchless, aside from the green bar in classic mode at default gameini. | monojin |
| 4.0-7133 | Windows 10 | AMD A10-5750M @ 2.5GHz | AMD Radeon HD 8650G | Runs very quickly and looks great at 2x resolution with the HD retexture pack. Green bar appears in classic mode. Slowdowns during combat with 3 or 4 opponents. | StardustGogeta |
