The "Exclusive" nature of this build means it is not hosted on the main GitHub page. The developers gatekeep the 160 Exclusive build for several reasons:
- Stability: The exclusive features are slightly buggy and crash on real N64 hardware (EverDrive).
- Tournament integrity: The exclusive characters are often "broken" (Overpowered) and not balanced for competitive play.
- Patron support: Many members of the Smash Remix team release the exclusive builds to their Patreon supporters 30 days before the public launch.
To get the v1.6.0 Exclusive:
- Option A (Legal): Back the developers on Patreon or subscribe to their official Discord. Look for the channel labeled
#160-exclusive-builds.
- Option B (Public conversion): Use a patcher (like Floating IPS) to apply the v1.6.0 "Unlocked" patch to a verified Smash Bros. ROM. Note: The "Exclusive" content is often locked behind a cheat code (usually
