How to play Super Smash Bros. Melee: 20XX Edition on Mac

Game summary

"The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches." The 20XX Melee Training Pack Hack is a mod built on SSBM v1.02-U providing numerous features including a custom debug menu and visualizations to help you see, understand, practice, and hopefully master Melee mechanics.

Play Super Smash Bros. Melee: 20XX Edition on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Super Smash Bros. Melee: 20XX Edition on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Super Smash Bros. Melee: 20XX Edition installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Super Smash Bros. Melee: 20XX Edition like you would on any PC.
