How to [Net]Play

For Normal Offline Play, you must launch the game from the PMNetplayV4.elf. If you do not see the following, there may be an issue with your sd card path or settings:

From this Screen: PRESS A to Launch Project M:

Netplay is a defining feature of Dolphin: it allows you to set up online sessions for any GameCube or Wii title with a local multiplayer mode, without the problems or limitations of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or hassle of the BBA.It is improving regularly, and GameCube Netplay should be painless. On netplay, it starts up on a black screen and stays frozen on that black screen. NOTE: If you're running multiple mods e.g. Infinite and Project M you will have to reselect the default SD Card each time and run the corresponding boot.elf for that mod to avoid any issues. Project M Remix. Download Project M Remix for Dolphin and extract the files. Extract the sd.rar to get the sd.raw.

To Connect:

7) Go to Tools > Start NetPlay...:

8) From the host, you will receive an 8 digit code. From here, you will input the 'Host Code' and hit 'Connect'. Just a reminder, your game CANNOT be running. The host WILL start the game for you:

9) From here, you will be able to set your own preferred buffer. More on this in the next section. For now, let your host set up the correct Minimum Buffer, and they will start up the emulation:

To Host:

10) As the host, you have two methods to host. The first as listed above is to click Tools > Start Netplay... However, there is a new feature of right clicking the game and 'Host with Netplay.' In either case, you must host PMNetplayV4.elf:

~ OR ~

11) Once you're hosting, you must copy the host code in the top right and send it to your opponent. Once they connect, you will need to judge what the Minimum Buffer should be set to. To figure this out, divide the Ping of your opponent by 8 and round up.

REMINDER: Ping / 8. In the case below, the ping is 37ms, so it would be 37/8 = 4.625 rounded up = 5.

ALSO, if the ping is < 32 ms, we recommend setting the buffer at a minimum of 4 buffer as the new input reduction codes provide the console + CRT experience @ 4 buffer. Any less would feel unnatural.

REMINDER: If Ping < 32ms, Minimum buffer = 4

Once set, both you and your opponent may change their personal buffer. If you prefer to play at a higher buffer than your opponent or vice versa, you/they may set their buffer to whatever buffer you/they desire >/= the minimum buffer sat. From here, Click Start and Press A from the launcher screen and you should be on your way to dueling!

This article is about the usage of DEVELOP mode in Melee. For a collection of images of each stage under the effects of DEVELOP mode, see here.

Melee when run in DEVELOP mode.

DEVELOP mode is a debug mode found in Super Smash Bros. Melee accessed through its debug menu. The mode is activated by changing the DBLEVEL setting to DEVELOP. This will give the player extra control over matches, including free camera, visual hitbox, and frame advance.

Below is a table detailing the controls for the DEVELOP mode extra controls. Through these controls, one can obtain free control over the camera, see character and stage hitboxes, frame advance the match, see the parts of the stage, and drop items (similar to Training Mode).
