What you need: Your own dump of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (USA) from your own Wii U: the game folder, plus the update (recommended) and DLC (optional), as dumped with Dumpling. Windows 10 or 11 64-bit and a Vulkan 1.3 graphics card.

Smash 4 PC is a native Windows port of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The game's PowerPC code is statically recompiled to C++ ahead of time and runs as x86-64 code on a reimplementation of the Wii U's system libraries, with its graphics commands and shaders translated to Vulkan, so no emulator is involved.

It plays from the game's update (v304, with every fighter and stage) or its original v1.0, with DLC from the player's own dump, covering Smash, 8-Player Smash and the game's other modes. The picture can be drawn at up to 4K and 5K rather than upscaled, and frame rates of 120 or uncapped are reached by interpolating between the game's own 60 frames.

XInput, PlayStation, Switch Pro and other SDL controllers work alongside the keyboard: the first pad is the GamePad and the rest are Pro Controllers, so 8-Player Smash works locally. Smash's own online modes work on the Pretendo Network, and content mods such as Sm4shExplorer packs, SDCafiine mods and Cemu graphic packs can be installed and switched in the launcher. No game files are included, and the project is not affiliated with Nintendo, Bandai Namco or Sora Ltd.

## How to set it up

1. Download the zip and unzip it anywhere.
2. Run `Smash 4 PC.exe` and choose PLAY.
3. Choose your game folder (`0005000010144F00`), then the update (`0005000E10144F00`) and the DLC (`0005000C10144F00`) if you have them.
4. Play. Each shader compiles the first time it is seen and loads from the cache after that.
