README

Rumble Roses XX Recomp

A native Windows PC port of Rumble Roses XX (Xbox 360), made by static recompilation. It runs the original game code natively. It is not an emulator.

This download contains no game files. You need your own legally obtained copy of the game (a disc image .iso). DLC is optional and also comes from your own copy.

Features

  • Runs natively at any resolution (up to 8K internal render scale)
  • Bloom setting (off / reduced / original) and an option to turn off the background blur
  • F4 in game: quick settings menu and Quit
  • Fixed saving ("Failed saving data" no longer happens)
  • Working DLC costumes (they appear under Others > Locker Room)
  • Mods folder: drop in replacement files without touching your game files
  • Custom costume slots: add community costumes as new costumes instead of replacing official ones
  • Optional cheats: unlock everything, infinite money (off by default)

Install

  1. Unzip anywhere, for example C:\Games\Rumble Roses XX Recomp\.
  2. Run RRXX Launcher.exe.
  3. First-time setup (the Setup tab opens by itself):
    • Game: choose your Rumble Roses XX.iso. The launcher checks it's the right version and copies the game files (about 3.6 GB).
    • DLC (optional): choose the folder with your Xbox 360 DLC packages.
  4. Pick your settings in the Settings tab (press Save settings), then press Play.

Tick "Skip the launcher next time" to go straight into the game from then on. To get the launcher back, hold Shift while starting, or double-click Launcher Settings.bat (created next to the launcher when you tick the box).

Controls

An Xbox controller is recommended. Press F4 at any time for quick settings and Quit.

Settings

SettingWhat it does
Render scaleInternal resolution. 1 = 720p, 3 = 4K-class, 6 = 8K. Higher is sharper but slower.
Bloom0 = off, 1 = reduced, 2 = original glow
Background blurOff makes the arena sharp; on matches the original
Anisotropic filteringTexture sharpness at angles
Unlock allUnlocks costumes, items and characters while on. Anything already saved stays unlocked.
Infinite moneyKeeps money at 9,999,999

Settings are saved in game\RumbleRosesReX.toml. The graphics backend, sharpening and the Mods switch are also in the F4 menu.

Mods

Replacement files

Put files in mods\ using the same path they have inside the game files. Example: mods\pac\ed\ex00.pac replaces the game's pac\ed\ex00.pac. Your original files are never changed. You can turn all mods off with the switch at the top of the Mods tab (or in the F4 menu).

Costumes

Put each costume folder (an extracted DLC-style costume with cos.dat) into mods\costumes\. The launcher gives every costume its own free slot, so it shows up as an extra costume and doesn't replace or clash with official DLC. You can switch each costume on or off in the Mods tab; press Apply to install or remove them.

Mod packs

A mod pack (.rrxxpack) only holds changes. In the Mod packs tab press Install a pack... and pick the file: the launcher checks that your game files come from the right ISO version, rebuilds the pack's files from them into mods\ and saves\, and records everything it changed. Uninstall selected puts it all back (your save progress stays). If a pack edits save slots and you have not played yet, start the game once, quit, and open the launcher again.

Files and folders

RRXX Launcher.exe     launcher / setup
launcher.json         launcher's own settings
game\                 the game program and your copied game files
mods\                 your mods
modpacks\             installed mod packs (what they changed, for Uninstall)
saves\                saves, installed DLC and the shader cache
save-backups\         backups made by the launcher or F4

The Saves tab opens the folder and makes a one-click backup (save-backups\). Back up saves\ to keep your progress. The whole folder can be moved; all paths are relative.

Troubleshooting

  • Game won't start: open the launcher and run setup again. The logs are in game\logs\.
  • Wrong game version: the recomp is built for one specific release. A different disc version won't work.
  • A costume doesn't show: check the Mods tab. Costumes must contain a cos.dat file.
