LazyTO lets players at a Melee tournament run their own start.gg sets from the Wii. They pick their set from a list on the console, play, and each game's result reaches start.gg as the game ends. The TO steps in only when something goes wrong.
Status: beta in preparation. It runs end to end in development and has booted on a real Wii. It has not run a full night at a venue yet.
- Set up the Pi. Flash Raspberry Pi OS Lite, log in over ssh and run the one install command. It prints the address of the setup page, where you enter your start.gg token and pick your tournament, event and stream. See docs/pi-setup.md.
- Prepare each Wii's SD card. On the relay's status page, open SD cards and download
each station's zip. Unzip it onto a FAT32 card and add your own Melee 1.02 image as
games/GALE01/game.iso. See docs/wii-setup.md. - Run the night. Power on the Pi, start every pool on start.gg, boot the Wiis and watch the status page at http://relay.local:29473. See docs/night-of.md.
- The Wiis run a stock Melee 1.02 image through the LazyTO loader, a build of Slippi
Nintendont. At boot the loader copies a small kiosk module,
lazyto_kiosk.bin, from the SD card into the game. The module adds the set list, the score banner on the character select screen, and automatic scoring. Your venue's usual Slippi settings and codes (UCF, stage striking and so on) keep working. - The relay runs on a Raspberry Pi on the venue network. The Wiis find it on their own, send it each button press, and it makes the matching start.gg call: start the set, put it on stream, report each game, end the set.
- start.gg stays the source of truth. Anything the relay can't do, the TO does on start.gg as usual. A stream overlay that reads start.gg keeps working unchanged.
The set list a Wii shows at boot: pick your set and press A to start it on start.gg.
Character select during a set: the banner shows both players, their ports and the score.
The relay's status page during a test run: each station's set, score and last start.gg call.
- A Raspberry Pi (a Pi 5, or any Pi that runs 64-bit or 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS), and a computer to flash its SD card.
- Wiis with the Homebrew Channel, one SD card each, and a stock NTSC 1.02 Melee image.
- A Wi-Fi network the Wiis and the Pi share, where devices can reach each other. Guest networks often block that.
- A start.gg account that is an admin of your tournament, and a start.gg API token for it.

The kiosk's source is in kiosk/. It builds against the unmodified Melee decompilation, a git submodule at melee/. The loader is the Nintendont fork, a submodule at Nintendont/. To work on either, or to run
npm test, clone with git clone --recursive (docs/development.md).

LazyTO ships no Nintendo code, no game images and no game assets. You supply your own legally obtained NTSC 1.02 Melee image. The kiosk module builds against the headers and symbol map of the community Melee decompilation and calls the game's own functions in your copy. Its graphics, such as the LazyTO wordmark, are generated by scripts in kiosk/tools/.
