Open source Brawl/PM/P+ rollback

[u/Zapfy]

Someone has been working on rollback for Project M/Project +/Brawl and the early version is here.

All fully open source. Lobby system, in-game chat, dev is constantly improving it and looking for feedback. Works really well.

Launcher is a fork of of the Slippi Launcher (from Melee), and it's using its own (also open source) rollback. Dolphin settings are exposed, not hidden unlike YouGame(/Crunch/Orca).

Yes the project is AI assisted/"vibecoded", just like a lot of new things are these days.

If you're bored of waiting 6+ years for "BrawlBack" then why not give it a try?

almost 2 million additions in october. the developer must be a very hard worker

[u/Grain_Death → u/Sticker704]

this guy claude is sooo good at programming

[u/TehGamingGuyXD → u/Sticker704]

Yea, it's obviously AI, but no one, me included, wants to wait until the heat death of the universe to use brawlback. This'll do for the time being.

We need this for smash remix

[u/JigglypuffLover2 → u/SlayerkodiTV]

it's up and working now.

[u/Phillyrider807 → u/SlayerkodiTV]

In theory any of the mods should also work but im assuming both players would need the same sd card.

Im sure mod support is something that would be added further down the line once everything is fully fleshed out and working for base p+/brawl

Played some teams last night and solos today. Was honestly pretty great. No bugs or drops other then slow loading into a game. I will say the dev has put out like 5 updates since I downloaded yesterday which is nice to see. 

[u/gzuroff → u/Boarders7521]

It crashed on me twice (after many games), shared my logs with the dev and it has been smooth sailing for me since. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of a vibecoded project.

[u/Boarders7521 → u/Boarders7521]

It also runs on the steam deck with no issues which is nice

I feel bad for the brawlback team, but this is unfortunately the new way the world works.

Looking forward to trying this!

[u/timestable → u/bluewaterbottle2021]

Brawlback is still promising but the "late this year" target was 2 years ago. If their team is able to use any of the solutions this release does to their benefit then I hope they do and get something up and running. May the best build win gotdangit

[u/Felix-the-duck]

this looks promising, ima wait a week though and see what happens though

edit: got convinced by a friend to try it early, its pretty good

[u/D0MiN0H]

seems like a decent option for the people who don’t care about handcrafted systems and are okay with greater instability.

[u/Prophet6000]

I tried it out it wasn't bad.

[u/jjshwa_]

stress tested with 150 ping cross-pacific, this works wonders compared to yougame. ui is way better/easier to use, connection/stutters are 10x better, highly recommend anyone try this out. genuinely a dream come true to be able to play this again with friends back in the states, and i can only imagine how much better it runs with, well, less than 150 ping.

[u/NoabPK]

I was one of the first 5 ppl to try this and it was amazing. Sarahkitty the creator is actually making lots of improvements unlike crunch. Was able to get the delay down to 2f

[u/JigglypuffLover2 → u/NoabPK]

1f below 100 ping

[u/Phillyrider807]

Kinda sucks for the brawlback team honestly but this is the way the world is now. As someone who is cousins with a 6 figure earner coder, He told me the coding capabilities of these AI systems are capable of things that would take humans 5+ years or longer to do, they are getting done in days.

I mean if thats really the case then why isn't the brawlback devs also using A.I? (Maybe they are, i honestly dont know, Just asking)

As long as everything is open source i dont really see any downside here.

[u/JamesAlonso → u/Phillyrider807]

Honestly the bb team are either lazy or scammers

[u/JamesAlonso]

Can you enable noob setting for private lobbies like 3 frame buffer/ auto L canceling

[u/simonskis → u/JamesAlonso]

U can already host lobbies with custom rulesets, I see one rn listed with auto L-cancel and 3 frame buffer

Android support please
