Hi everyone, I apologize for the delay, but the PMBR is proud to release our official demo build!

Secondary Download (use if the first one doesn't work, thanks goes to Shadic for providing it.)

For those who haven't heard of Project Melee before:
Project M is a community-made mod of Brawl inspired by Super Smash Bros. Melee's gameplay designed to add rich, technical gameplay to a balanced cast of characters while additionally enhancing the speed of play. Project M employs new codes which seamlessly add in new, universal features to the entire cast to add technical variety to all characters.

This is awesome! Thanks! I'll be sure to try this out ASAP

! I have one question though: is it somehow possible to switch between vanilla/brawl+/brawl-/project m with little effort? I don't like having to re-install each one when I want to use them.

Melee, you say... I may need to get around to hacking my Wii if this holds water...

How would you go about patching this onto a brawl iso for the sake of Dolphin emulation?
The ISO is entirely legal of course, dumped using my wii.

Ican't recall its name... there IS an early tool used to hard patch ISOs from back in the heyday of Brawl hacking...

There's Riivolution, or you could use WiiExplorer or another file manager to rename/move the files each time you want to switch (put a + behind a filename if it is a file for Brawl+, remove the - from the end of the corresponding Brawl- file to switch to it etc).

You don't have to hack your Wii.

Edited the OP to make this even more clear.

My Wii doesnt read DVD's anymore. Can I use USBLoader?

Edit: Works fine with USB loaders.

This is news? A game mod? Shouldn't this have gone in one of the Wii sections where the people who care about this shit are more likely to see it?

 

[Anakir]

Its a demo release. This "shit" you speak of is news to others.

 

[Mazor]

This is news? A game mod?
How exactly is the first release of a serious complete conversion of one of the Wii's most popular games into the Gamecube most popular game, aiming to combine the best of both, not news?

Apart from this actually being news in every way and thus fitting here, many of the people interested in this, myself included, don't necessarily go to the Wii sections. This is the case because this mod appeals to many players of the Gamecube predecessor who don't like Brawl or anything else related to Wii.

Any vids of the changes?

You got me there, I haven't visited the Wii section seriously in months.

There might be easier ways, but you can just replace the files manually.

Yeah, there are various, like the (somewhat old) official trailer on youtube.

 

[KingAsix]

Cool...As soon as my Wii is up and running again I might give this a go

 

[Blayd]

It's called "Project M" not "Project Melee".

Project Melee is another Project for Textures in Melee. Just saying.

Actually, this is also referred to as Project Melee as the M stands for Melee. I'm aware of the other project but there is no reason to refer to this as Project M outside of the smashscene, like on this public forum, because anyone outside of it wouldn't know about the other project and could possibly not know what the M stands for.

 

[Midna]

Oh, this finally came out? I prefer Balanced Brawl, but I'll give it a try. Brawl+ is just pointless rubbish.

 

[awssk8er]

Cool project. Except for the fact the I hate Super Smash Bros. Good job!

Sorry, I was going to edit/remove my post, but I won't do now because someone replied to it. I was just being old and miserable but will explain myself. Because it's just a mod. A mod to make an ancient game play like an even more acient game you can already play on the console in question. And, this is the major point, a demo release at that. Like I said I was being cranky, but would a beta of any other project be news worthy at all to you?

It's also pretty much plagerism, so copyright infringing and not allowed to post links to on here, if they are just recreating Melee...

Forget the fact I'm a cunt right now, it's also where most of the people into game hacks for the console hang out, a lot of them could/would probably help the team move this on from a demo if they want the help too. A post in one of them as well (though I'd say instead of) would be a good idea.

So they won't own a Wii and a copy of Brawl, when they almost certainly, if they are such big fans of Melee, still have a cube and the copy of the game. I own Melee and still play it, so I will admit there are a couple of minor differences that could make a big difference to beat 'em' up fans, but only to the "would rather be playing with consoles than girls/boys/cuddly toys/[insert wierd sexual partner preference here]" nerdy lot would it make Brawl unplayable. This has no point unless it can do things Melee can't. The source site, while pretty, is quite a mess and hard to get around, so why not put some of that info in for us neigh sayers?

You do realize this is a gaming site, right? Is there other, more pressing (gaming) news you feel should be on the front page?
