Super Smash Bros. Melee, known in Japan as Dairantō Smash Brothers Deluxe, often abbreviated as SSBM or simply as Melee, is a crossover fighting game released for the Nintendo GameCube shortly after its launch in 2001 (2002 in the PAL region). It is the successor to the 1999 Nintendo 64 game Super Smash Bros., and the predecessor to the 2008 Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. HAL Laboratory developed the game, with Masahiro Sakurai as head of production.

Problems

Minor sound glitches

Random sound glitches when using the DSP HLE audio engine. Glitches include the right or left channels cutting out, music stopping, or various crackling noises. The error is random, and its severity depends on the specific revision. If you encounter the error and it's too annoying to ignore, try other builds until you find one that is tolerable, or use the DSP LLE audio engine. Note: the LLE audio engine must be dumped from physical console. In game work-arounds include: Pausing the match for a few seconds, returning to the title screen, changing the music or sound in the Sound Test.

Minor Video/Audio Timing Bug

The video/audio of all cut-scenes are about 1 second off from each other r7564. This is however not the case with the actual gameplay. A fix for this is to use Auto for the framerate, check the "Use FPS for Limiting" and uncheck "Enable Audio Throttle". Setting this however, causes the game speed to exceed 100% in many cases throughout the game.

VS. Team Battle

Incorrect overlay effect for VS Team ... (Stage 8) in Classic Mode. If a fix is found please state here.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

General

Config Setting Notes
Enable Dual Core Enabled Requires Dual Core machine or Hyper Threading. Greatly increases overall performance.
CPU Emulator Engine JIT Recompiler There is no difference between this and the JITIL experimental recompiler. The interpreter is so slow, the game is unplayable.

Graphics

Config Setting Notes
Video Backend Direct3D11 Toss up between 3D9 and ED11. If you want real 3D go with 3D9 and grab your 3D glasses; if not go with 3D11.
Scaled EFB Copy Enabled Default setting is Enabled. Would see effect in EFB Copies Texture mode only.
Widescreen Hack Disabled Not needed for this game; 4:3 aspect ratio.
Disable Fog Disabled Needed for various effects in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Texture Cache Accuracy Fast Second-fastest value from right (Recommended Setting). No difference between this and fastest accuracy.

Audio

Config Setting Notes
DSP Emulator Engine DSP HLE emulation Using other settings requires dump of physical console.
Audio Backend DSound No difference between this and XAudio2.
