Get the Essentials

Get Super Smash Bros. Melee. You can play on console (GameCube/Wii) or emulator (PC). For online matchmaking to work, make sure you have the correct version of the game, which is NTSC v1.02 (USA region). Rip your copy of the game and save it as an ISO for use with Slippi. Also, obtain a GameCube controller. Generally speaking, you should try to get first party, Nintendo-made controllers over third party controllers (advanced guide).

Slippi

Install Slippi to play Super Smash Bros. Melee with rollback netcode on your PC (tutorial). View our optimization tips to make sure your emulator runs as smoothly as possible on your machine. Join the Slippi Discord server for support. Looking for Slippi ranked leaderboards?

Platforms: Windows MacOS Linux

Controller Adapter

Get a GameCube controller adapter for your PC, preferably a Nintendo or Mayflash 4-port adapter (you can get the latest Mayflash firmware, V.05, below). Install drivers to get your adapter working on macOS and Linux. Advanced: overclock your adapter and increase your input polling rate (Windows tutorial).
