A mod to make an ancient game play like an even more acient game you can already play on the console in question.
As I stated, both of these games are very popular, Melee having been the most popular game of its system. They are thus still popular, Melee being still being the most popular competitive game in the series here in Europe, despite being "ancient".

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?
Absolutely, if that beta would get as much attention as this post already have I would definitely say it would be worthy of having been posted.

It's also pretty much plagerism, so copyright infringing and not allowed to post links to on here, if they are just recreating Melee...
It certainly isn't plagiarism since it's a mod. No copyright infringement is being made as the files needed to make this run (apart from a brawl disc which you have to provide yourself) have been created by the developers of Project 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.
The Project Melee team are not recruiting additional developers. If someone makes a post in that section, that's up to that person. I made this post here because it is news and to get the attention of people like myself.

So they won't own a Wii and a copy of Brawl,
Wii games play much better on Dolphin than on the actual console graphically (and that's the only difference) and a large part of this forum are pirates who would instantly download this if it would interest them.

QUOTE(cwstjdenobs @ Feb 8 2011, 08:52 PM) 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.

There are huge Melee tournaments held all the time, mainly in the US but also here in Europe like BEAST which was held here in Sweden a few weeks ago with people coming over from all of Europe. There has been much talk about Project Melee amongst these people (to which I belong) lately and very many are anticipating it, so the group you are describing is pretty big even amongst the hardcore Melee fans.

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?

From my original post:
QUOTE(Mazor @ Feb 8 2011, 05:00 PM)

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.
[/p]

As can be read here, they aim to balance the cast of characters (while the original Melee is pretty balanced amongst the better characters, there are very many characters that are really worthless and have never won any tournaments), the cast consisting of not only the characters from Melee but also the ones from Brawl. Apart from this, the game is graphically superior to Melee and has additional stages (like Hyrule from SSB64) as can be seen in the trailer I linked above.

Edit: Spacing.

 

[Clydefrosch]

uhm... does the hackless thingy work on an EU wii with a pal smash bros?
It seems a little like this would be using the ntsc/j smash bros exploit=

 

[Keylogger]

Can't download it....

 

[Haloman800]

Didn't there used to be a Project M? Then there was Brawl+, then Brawl-, then Balanced Brawl, and now this again?

Please leave Brawl alone and stop splitting up the community with trivial hacks.

We're currently having site issues due to the huge amount of traffic. here's a mirror to the downloader, however. It searches for several of our servers, so you shouldn't have any issues! (Could I get that added to the OP, thanks.)

 

[jceggbert5]

Would you guys be OK if I attempted an ISO-contained version of this and released it? (for us USB loader users that have bad disc drives)

 

[Dantarion]

Don't release any kind of Project M ISO.

First of all, Project M is more than just file replacements, so it won't work.
Second of all, we don't want our project associated with piracy.

If you get the game working on a USB loader by yourself, thats fine, but the team would rather not deal with that.

 

[Sir-Fritz]

Is this for pal or ntsc brawl?

 

[Kurossaki652]

How do I use this
I have a hacked wii and the Actual SSBB game
What do I need to play this???
Also, I have neogamma
ow do I use it with neogamma?

 

[Schlupi]

This won't work with CFG USB Loader. I was so excited but it keeps Black Screening at the spinning logo Brawl Loading screen.

ALl my old hacks worked fine before this...

Update your loader. I use CFG myself and very randomly it used to stop on the title screen. I updated to the most recent version and haven't had it happen yet.

 

[Midna]

Hey Shadic! Yeah. Cfg has never troubled me with codesets. Good luck on Geno!

Edit: Try USB Loader GX if updating doesn't help. it never troubled me either.

 

[Shadic]

Hey Shadic! Yeah. Cfg has never troubled me with codesets. Good luck on Geno!

Haha. Always weird being recognized cross-site. Thanks though. I'm less busy now that the P:M demo date isn't lurking around the corner, so we'll see.

It is the latest version...

I found the problem. My dumbass forgot to delete my old RSBE.gct from the Geckoos code directory. deleted it and now it works.

VERY impressive. I am very happy to say this is a very impressive hack.

I really like Lucas's new moveset. Offense Up is pretty sweet and much more useful than PK Flash.

I support this hack very strongly!

Which one do I use if I have Neogamma?

 

[Kurossaki652]

I dont need help anymore
I just needed to use GeckoOS
I couldnt use Neogamma

 

[EvanUnisil]

Does this mean I can't create custom stages with this hack installed? Is there no other way of getting this hack to work than through custom stages?

Keeping in mind I am completely new to the hacking scene so if this is the only way we've been able to hack Brawl and every other hack does it like this please ignore my statement. I just love one of my custom stages and will want to fight on it.
