Install guide

Rumble Roses XX Recomp

A native Windows port of the Xbox 360 game, made by static recompilation. This page takes you from the download to your first match, and then through the optional free mod pack.

Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit Bring your own disc image About 10 minutes

What you need

The download holds no game files. Everything comes from your own copy.

Your disc image

A .iso of Rumble Roses XX (USA). The launcher checks the version before it copies anything.

A Windows PC

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a Vulkan-capable graphics card.

A controller

An Xbox-style pad is recommended. Keyboard works too.

Disk space

About 4 GB for the game, plus about 3.2 GB if you add the mod pack.

Install

Four steps. The launcher does the copying and checking for you.

  1. Unzip the release

    Unzip RRXX-Recomp-<date>.zip anywhere, for example C:\Games\Rumble Roses XX Recomp\. The folder can be moved later: every path inside is relative.

  2. Start the launcher

    Run RRXX Launcher.exe. On the first start it opens the Setup tab by itself.

  3. Choose your disc image

    Press Choose game ISO... and pick your .iso. The launcher checks that it is the right release, then copies the game files (about 3.6 GB) into game\assets.

  4. Add your DLC (optional)

    Press Choose DLC folder... and pick the folder with your Xbox 360 DLC packages. Official DLC costumes then show under Others > Locker Room.

Settings & play

Set things up once in the launcher; most of it can also be changed in game.

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 all / Infinite moneyOptional cheats, off by default.

Press Save settings, then Play. In game, F4 (or Back + Start on a pad) opens quick settings: graphics backend, sharpening, mods on/off, save backup and Quit.

Tick Skip the launcher next time to go straight into the game. To get the launcher back, hold Shift while starting it, or double-click Launcher Settings.bat.

The free mod pack

One .rrxxpack file: 30 created wrestlers with their own looks, names, movesets, entrances and themes, 38 extra outfits to swap between, 65 extra arenas with preview cards, new moves and music.

The pack only holds changes. The launcher rebuilds the modded files from your own game files, so the recomp's game files must already be installed from your disc image (steps above).

  1. Close the game

    Packs are installed while the game is not running.

  2. Open the Mod packs tab

    Press Install a pack... and choose the .rrxxpack file. A summary shows what it will write; press Yes.

  3. Let it check and build

    • It checks every game file it needs against the version the pack was made for. A different disc version stops here and nothing is changed.
    • It checks the pack itself, so a broken download is caught before anything is written.
    • It rebuilds the files into mods\ and saves\, sets the pack's game settings and fills the created-wrestler slots in your save.

  4. First time only: start the game once

    On a brand-new install there is no save yet. Press Play, get to the title menu, quit, and open the launcher again. The wrestlers' names and movesets are added to your new save then.

  5. Play

    The new wrestlers are in the created-wrestler (EDIT) slots, the arenas in Exhibition's arena picker.

Changing outfits

Open the Attire tab, choose a wrestler and click one of her outfits (each card shows the front and back), then press Apply. Default outfit puts her back in her normal look; Reset all to default does it for everyone. Uninstalling the pack also removes its outfits and your picks.

Removing it

Select the pack in the Mod packs tab and press Uninstall selected. Its files are removed, anything it replaced comes back, its game settings are restored and its save slots get their old contents back. The rest of your save (progress, money, unlocks) stays as it is.

Folders

Back up saves\ to keep your progress. The Saves tab does it in one click.

Help

The usual problems and what to do.

"Wrong game version" or "different version" in the launcher

The recomp and the mod pack are built for one specific release of the game (USA). Another disc version won't work. If you installed from the right disc and still see it in the Mod packs tab, choose your ISO again in Setup to refresh the game files.

"The pack file is damaged"

The download was cut short or changed. Download the pack again; nothing was changed in your install.

The created wrestlers still have default names

Your save didn't exist yet when the pack was installed. Start the game once, quit, open the launcher again, then play.

The game won't start

Open the launcher and run Setup again. Logs are in game\logs\.

A costume doesn't show

Check the Mods tab. Costume folders need a cos.dat file. Costumes appear under Others > Locker Room.

I want to turn mods off for a moment

Untick Mods enabled in the Mods tab (or in F4). The game then runs with only your original files; tick it again to come back.
