About

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a 2008 Wii crossover fighting game developed by Sora Ltd. under director Masahiro Sakurai and published by Nintendo, the third entry in the Super Smash Bros. series. This is an ongoing, work-in-progress decompilation of Super Smash Bros. Brawl (USA Revision 2) that rebuilds the game's source code without including any of its original assets or data -- players must supply their own copy of the game to build it. A companion diffing tool lets contributors compare the rebuilt code against the original binary as the project progresses.

Getting started

Building it requires supplying your own USA Revision 2 disc image, cloning the repository with its submodules, and running the project's configuration script followed by a ninja build.
