Super Smash Bros. Brawl Gets Native PC Port With 240fps Support
A fan-made native PC port of Super Smash Bros. Brawl is out now, letting you play the 2008 Wii fighter with upscaled visuals, mod support, and optional 240fps interpolation.
Bet you never thought you'd see the day a Nintendo flagship fighter lands on PC — unofficially, anyway. A fan project has released a native PC port of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the 2008 Wii brawler, and it's already booting up, loading saves, and running full VS matches. According to DSOGaming, the port turns the classic fighter into a proper PC application, with cutscenes, Classic Mode, and plenty more already playable.
For PC players, the real meat is in the visuals and controls. The port can crank render resolution up to eight times the normal value, supports 16:9, and even fills ultrawide windows up to 32:9 while keeping menus and HUD at proper proportions. On the frame-rate side, it defaults to 120fps interpolation, with 180fps and 240fps options to try — though the game itself still runs at its original 60fps logic.
Mod support is another big selling point. Project+, Project+Ex, REX, Brawl Minus, and Legacy XP can all be loaded through a virtual SD card, complete with their own characters and stages. There's also a built-in menu you can summon with F10 or the Home button on your controller, letting you manage graphics, audio, controls, cheats, mods, netplay, and updates without a separate launcher.
Quality-of-life features are stacked too. You get three save-state slots, 2x to 4x speed-up, Gecko code toggles (with nine tested codes included), and any controller is recognized as a GameCube pad with remappable buttons. Keyboard and mouse work, and so does a Bluetooth Wii Remote. Saves live in UserData\NAND, while the virtual SD card sits in UserData\SD.
The install barrier is clear: you'll need to supply your own copy of the game, whether as an ISO, CISO, WBFS file, or an already extracted folder. The port also supports netplay with other players using Brawl Recompiled. So if you've been itching to revisit Brawl with a fresh coat of paint and some mods, this might be your ticket. What's the first mod you'd load up?
