==In competitive play==
Due to being the original hardware the game was designed for, the GameCube is the prefered system to play ''Melee'', especially in tournaments. The game has never been re-released on another system, for players with physical copies to only use GameCube compatible systems. While the Wii can play GameCube games with a dedicated disc drive and controller ports, only the original model contains these features, making it an unreliable option. Emulators like Dolphin also exist, but they are merely recreating original hardware and possess bugs and performance issues not present on GameCube. However, the aging hardware that is becoming progressively less reliable have forced the competitive scene to consider and experiment with these alternatives before the game the love becomes unplayable, and emulation developers have made great strides in making a nearly identical experience, with software like Slippi rivaling original hardware in popularity due to ease of inserting [[mod]]s and the implementation of rollback netcode for online matches, which is not even an option on original hardware.
Just like how it is possible to dump GameCube disc and memory card data onto other systems, fans savvy in computer science and engineering have found ways to make their own discs and memory cards that work on original hardware and dump data from other systems onto them and . This allows mods and fan-games to be played in said original hardware, including the many based on ''Melee''. In this area, the Wii has greatly outpaced the GameCube in popularity due to possessing more industry standard hardware compared to its predecessor and the ease of defeating the console's copy protection and anti-piracy firmware to allow mods.
