Play Super Smash Bros. Melee on the PC

Do you want to play Super Smash Bros. Melee on your PC? Then this is the article for you! Must be somewhat experienced with computers.

Steps

  1. Before you begin, do you own Super Smash Bros Melee? If you don't, be warned: it is not legal to emulate unless you own the game. If you do own the game, still watch out; it's a legal gray area.
  2. The first thing you need to do is download the Dolphin emulator. This is the link to the download page that's best: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ If you have a 32-bit system, get the 32-bit edition, and the same for 64-bit. If you're not sure which type you have, download both, and if steps 3-5 don't work for one, use the other.
  3. Create a new folder (name it something you can remember). This is where you'll put Dolphin.
  4. Double-click the Dolphin file and click the "..." button. Navigate to the folder you made in step 3, and click on it. Then click extract. This may take a minute or two.
  5. Go to the folder you made in step 3, and double click the file named "Dolphin". It should have an icon with a little blue square with a white man inside it.
  6. Assuming it opened up a program, you can close it.
  7. Now you need to download the Super Smash Bros Melee ISO. Google "emuparadise super smash bros melee ISO and click the first link, you should have the right one. It's possible to use other sites, but be aware that sites like these are often full of viruses, so use caution. Download it according to the site's directions. It may take a while according to your internet connection speed, since it is about 1 GB.
  8. Now navigate to the folder you downloaded.
  9. Right click the file called "sc-sbbm.001" and click "Rename". Then rename it as "sc-sbbm.001.rar". Click "Yes" to the window that warns you about file extensions.
  10. Do the same thing for all the files labeled "sc-sbbm.002" all the way through "sc-sbbm.022". If you're done you should have "sc-sbbm.001.rar" all the way through "sc-sbbm.022.rar".
  11. Now double click the first file. If windows doesn't recognize it, you need to download a file extraction program. This article helps with that: https://www.wikihow.com/View-RAR-Files
  12. Once you're done extracting it, navigate back to Dolphin and re-launch the program. Click the "Open" button, and navigate to the folder with Super Smash Bros Melee. Make sure you click the last folder. The typical file path is My Name/Downloads/super smash bros melee stuff/Super_Smash_Brothers_Melee_USA_PROPER_NGC-STICKYCUBE
  13. Once it's loaded, double click the "Super Smash Bros Melee" logo.
  14. It may take a few minutes, but there you go! You can now play Super Smash Bros. Melee on your computer!
