Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Difference between revisions

|forumlink = http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-wii-super-smash-bros-brawl--25925

'''''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.  

Support for Virtual SDHC cards (4-32GiB in size) was added in 5.0-5044, solving {{issue|8823}}. See [http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=74757.0 here] for help with creating a virtual SDHC card. The SDHC Extension 1.1[Bero] code [http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=65342.0] needs to be included in your GCT file found within sd.raw's \codes folder.

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 <var>Src\PixelEngine.cpp:193 W[PE]: (r16) ALPHAREAD</var> 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 {{revision|5.0-9638}}.

{{testing/entry|revision=3.5-367|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-650 @ 3.2GHz|GPU=ATI Radeon HD 5570|result=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 {{revision|3.5-1769}} or {{revision|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.|tester=DARK}}
