Major Updates

• macOS and Linux Release! (a ton of work with credits to, but not limited to, metaconstruct, Fizzi, knux, and Nikki)
  • macOS does not have auto updates at this time, but we are working on a solution.
  • Linux users can now skip the build time and get into the game thanks to our AppImages.
• Get your tournament sets finished earlier with Stage Select! First stage is random and loser picks after that. Only supported in Direct mode (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm#24)
• Having rumble on should no longer cause performance issues for some people (#108)
• Random stage select in unranked will cycle through all the options before picking a stage again (9364bbe)
  • The randomizer resets whenever you queue up again.
• Adapter issues are handled better. It now uses the last known inputs if the adapter has an error (#112)
  • Poll rate is now shown in the GC Adapter Config window. If your adapter is polling below 120hz then try using a different USB port. See the image below for reference.
• qdobp and Nyko GC adapters now work with Dolphin's Wii U Adapter mode! Some other offbrand adapters might also work (#123)
  • If your adapter shows up as GameCube for Switch in Zadig, then it is likely to be fixed.
• Name tags underneath the percents are now smaller and have more transparent background (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm@ef3e1a9)
• Fix bug where client side LRAS would cause the replays to not contain time, player names, or connect codes (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm@612bf43)

GC Adapter Poll Rate View

Minor updates and fixes

• Users with non-english characters in their path will no longer have an empty replay directory (#92)
• Removing an ISO path with no path selected no longer crashes the Dolphin (#93)
• Having no replay directory will now force the default to be used (#96)
• Texture Scaling has been removed from Dolphin due to crashes on Pokemon Stadium (#115)
• Widescreen mode will no longer cause in-game text to stretch
• It should no longer be possible for nametag backgrounds to overlap

Version 2.1.1

Major Updates

• Replays no longer pause. This does not fix previously affected replays, those will be fixed with a new Slippi Deskop App update (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm@02d7604)
• Fix occasional disconnect at 30ish seconds (c852262)
• Disable LRAS on CSS (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm@ba22a3b)
• Quitting out of the game with LRAS will now send both players back to the CSS (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm@6e08a37)

Minor updates and fixes

• Add a note about asking for patience when updating and how to manually update to the updater (bddf414)

Version 2.1.0

Many contributors have come forward to add features to this release. Thank you for getting involved!

This release does not include official macOS and Linux support yet. We are excited for everyone in the Melee community to finally get to try rollback without needing a Windows machine, but we will be officially releasing that in the near future.

Main updates

• Process for connecting two players together has changed. This will hopefully lead to less people getting stuck in connecting -> searching loops (#70)
• First to 20 wins speedrunners rejoice! @UnclePunch has improved game load times by at least 1 second. Enjoy your free 20+ second time save
• Pokemon Stadium is now in the rotation and will hopefully no longer crash with Sheik/Zelda. Please let us know if you experience any crashes. It is currently frozen due to technical limitations
• Reorganized gecko codes and added labels denoting their importance. Additionally added some useful optional codes that do not cause desync. See screenshot below (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm@0e62d24)
• It is now possible to configure delay from the Dolphin UI (please don't do it from the file anymore). Delays can be changed without restarting Melee but if you have an in-process game, the new delay won't apply until the next game. See screenshot below for UI (#58)
• Names are now displayed under the player HUD while in-game (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm@2da4174)
• Pausing in unranked now initiates a client-side pause overlay that allows you quit the game but does not stop gameplay, begone griefers (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm#19)
• Added replay configuration options, can choose to not save replays, choose the path to save them, and whether to organize them by month. See UI below (#58)
  • We have changed the default replay storage location to Documents/Slippi
• The previously entered connect code is now preserved on re-entry (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm@3756dc9)
• Added display names (#54) and connect codes (#61) to replay files
• When using the old netplay lobby window to start the game, inputs were not being handled correctly (#60)
• Get into your matches faster with the option to auto start your default ISO! Set Melee as the default ISO and check the box in the Dolphin config (#79)

New UI for configuring Slippi settings
