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.

If your Apple laptop or computer is running the latest version of its operating system, you may have found yourself unable to turn off the Do Not Disturb function. Users of macOS Big Sur have been. A Bug's Life: Captain America: Super Soldier: 2011: Next Level Games High Voltage Software (Wii) Griptonite Games (DS) Sega: Captain America: The First Avenger: Cars (video game) 2006: Locomotive Games (PSP) Rainbow Studios (GameCube, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, Mac) Helixe (Game Boy Advance, DS) Beenox (PC, Mac) Incinerator Studios (Wii) THQ. A new, devastating bug could be waging war on your computer. Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity team issued a warning against the Shellshock bug Wednesday.

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

Bug Brawl Mac Os Catalina

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.

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.

NES Masterpieces

Store EFB Copies to Texture Only needs to be turned off because a black screen will show instead of the game. Fixed since 5.0-4896.

NES and SNES Masterpieces

Texture Cache Accuracy needs to be set to Safe because sometimes the game will fail to update its frames. Fixed since 5.0-4896.

'With Friends' Menu Problems

After connecting to the Nintendo Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 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:

  • 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.

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.

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
