Matches themselves often had desyncs, with items notably being implicated. These methods, however, were difficult to set up, required extensive knowledge of the software on hand and networking protocols, and required both players to be using the same version of Melee. Prior to Slippi and Dolphin featuring netplay functionality, experimental online play was previously performed by a variety of tunneling softwares that could directly connect GameCube consoles to one another, such as via XLink Kai or exploits in Phantasy Star Online for the GameCube. Like Smash 64, online play for Melee is generally accomplished through emulators, particularly Project Slippi.
While the Nintendo GameCube does have limited support for internet connectivity with appropriate adapters, Melee was released prior to the official release of these adapters, and as such, it does not natively support online play. Initially, netplay was achieved via servers such as Smash FU and The Galaxy, but the community has since changed to mostly using peer-to-peer connections. Owing to the lower system requirements of Nintendo 64 emulators and the rather fragmented community surrounding Smash 64, netplay is among the most common ways to play the game in the current scene. As such, online play for Smash 64 is accomplished through the use of emulators, such as Project64k. The Nintendo 64 does not natively support online play, though the idea was explored as part of the 64DD add-on.
