Brawl Recompiled and Smash 4 PC (Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Wii U PC ports)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out on the Wii in 2008, and its community has kept it alive for years through Dolphin and mods such as Project M and Project+. Brawl Recompiled appeared on 22 October 2026 and had online play two days later; Spanish sites PCMRace and Tarreo covered it. Its author’s GitHub account dates from 9 October 2026 and has put out a run of recompilation ports since, including Super Paper Mario. On 27 October 2026 Brawl Recompiled had about 110 GitHub stars.

Brawl Recompiled and Smash 4 PC side by side

Brawl Recompiled: what it is

• A static recompilation: the game’s PowerPC main program and all 126 of its modules are translated into C++ and compiled for x86-64 with WiiCompiled by patchzyy, a Wii recompiler and runtime that reimplements the Wii’s system libraries. The function map comes from the Brawl decompilation project and Dolphin’s signature database.
• Graphics through Aurora on WebGPU: Direct3D 12 on Windows, Vulkan on Linux.
• Mods and codes: a built-in PowerPC interpreter runs any code that a Gecko code or mod replaces, so mods load from a virtual SD card as on a real Wii.
• A launcher that sets up the game from your disc (about 7 GB extracted) and has a Mods page.

Brawl Recompiled: current status

What the README lists:

• up to 4K, the game’s own 16:9 mode and fill-the-window for ultrawide; 120 FPS frame interpolation on by default (experimental; the game logic stays at 60);
• every gamepad works as a GameCube controller (Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo layouts), keyboard and mouse for player 1, and real Wii Remotes over Bluetooth;
• online rooms of two to four players with room codes, plus LAN and Tailscale; some mobile and carrier networks need Tailscale;
• mods from a virtual SD card, each tested from boot through a full match: Project+ 3.2.1 (42 fighters), Project+Ex, Legacy XP, Brawl Minus and Super Smash REX (about 150 fighters), plus Brawl Vault costumes and stages;
• saves in the same layout as a Wii’s.

Known problems: in the issue tracker on 27 October 2026, players reported mods other than Project+ misbehaving (momentum, ledges, music, REX physics), a Project+ hang on Steam Deck OLED and a stretched-graphics glitch; menus that mods replace can drop below 60 FPS on slow PCs. CPUs without AVX2 are refused. We didn’t play it ourselves.

Smash 4 PC

Smash 4 PC is the same developer’s port of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, released as 0.1.0 on 25 October 2026. It recompiles the Wii U game’s PowerPC code to C++ on Petexy’s Wii U runtime from the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 port, with Vulkan graphics and Cemu’s Nintendo Network code. Per its README:

• it plays from update v304 (all fighters and stages) or version 1.0, with your own DLC, including 8-Player Smash; up to eight players locally, the first pad acting as the GamePad;
• up to 4K or 5K, 60, 120 or uncapped frames (interpolated above 60);
• online on Pretendo Network, which needs your Wii U’s own console files and a Pretendo account;
• there is no second-screen GamePad view.

It needs your own US Wii U dump in Cemu’s folder layout and a GPU with Vulkan 1.3, on Windows. In its first two days players reported a silent close at start on one PC, stutter every few seconds and a crash on a “new challenger” screen.

What’s in the download

Both release packages contain the game’s recompiled code: Brawl Recompiled ships the built game program and engine library, and Smash 4 PC its game programs for v304 and v1.0. Brawl Recompiled’s launcher also uses fighter portraits, a font and Smash Ball textures taken from the game’s files, which are committed to its repository, although its README says the repository contains no game code or data. The full game data still comes from your own disc or dump. We don’t link the files.

What you need

• For Brawl Recompiled: your own US Wii disc, RSBE01 revision 1, as .iso, .ciso or .wbfs (convert RVZ, WIA, GCZ or NKit images to plain ISO first); a 64-bit Windows or Linux PC with an AVX2 CPU; about 7 GB free, more for big mods.
• For Smash 4 PC: your own US Wii U dump (base game, update v304 recommended, DLC optional) in Cemu’s code, content and meta layout; Windows 10 or 11 and a Vulkan 1.3 GPU.
• We don’t explain how to obtain or copy game data.

Is it official, and will it stay up?

• No, both are unofficial fan projects, not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo.
• We found no takedown on 27 October 2026; the only Nintendo notice in GitHub’s October DMCA archive concerned another game. Nintendo takes Smash fan projects seriously and both releases contain recompiled game code, so they may not stay up.
• Get them only from the official repositories. Forks and copies exist on GitHub.
