SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE GETS A NATIVE WINDOWS BUILD WITH 8 CONTROLLERS
WindowSmash: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a native Windows program, alpha out
SNO2207's WindowSmash is an experimental toolkit that turns your own Super Smash Bros. Ultimate dump into a native Windows x64 program. It statically recompiles the game's AArch64 code to C, adds a Direct3D 11 runtime, and relays Local Wireless for netplay. It supports up to eight controllers (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro and keyboard). v0.1.0-alpha.1 landed Oct 18 and v0.2.0-alpha.1 followed the same day, and it already has 278 stars. It's a rival to Denkishi's ssbu-recomp, which we covered on Oct 12. The repo holds only the recompiler and runtime: the game comes from your files.
You need: Your own copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate dumped from your own Switch. No game files, keys or firmware are included. It's an alpha, so expect bugs.
How to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on PC
- Download the runtime from the Releases page.
- Follow the setup guide to build the Windows program from your own dump.
- Plug in controllers, or set up Local Wireless relay netplay with friends.
