WindowSmash

PC WindowSmash running on PC through recompiled. Free and complete.

How this port works

This is a static recompilation: tooling mechanically translates the original console binary into PC code rather than rewriting the game by hand. The result runs natively, typically with an uncapped framerate and widescreen.

Experimental Windows x64 native porting toolkit for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: static AArch64 recompilation, a D3D11 runtime, and Local Wireless relay netplay.

Frequently asked

Do I need the original game to play WindowSmash on PC?

No. WindowSmash is free and complete: download the release and run it, with no ROM, dump or commercial game copy.

What does "recompiled" mean?

This is a static recompilation: tooling mechanically translates the original console binary into PC code rather than rewriting the game by hand. The result runs natively, typically with an uncapped framerate and widescreen.

Will WindowSmash run on a low-end PC?

Native ports and recompilations skip CPU emulation entirely, so they are usually far lighter than an emulator for the same console. With no published measurement for this project, though, any estimate would be guesswork — test it on your own machine.

Which systems does it support?

The current release ships builds for Windows. The game originally shipped on PC.

Is it legal to use?

The project is public and open source, maintained by OpenSmash-Ultimate, and contains nothing from the commercial game. Responsibility for the game copy you use is yours — which is why the developers require you to supply your own.
