Play the Game

Use this page if you just want to install the release and play, without dealing with the build system.

What you need

• A copy of the prebuilt ZIP from the latest GitHub release
• Your game folder, the one that already contains default.xex and gen/
• Optional: Xenia, if you want to play on PC

Install on console or handheld setups

1. Download the prebuilt ZIP from the GitHub release.
2. Extract it into your game folder.
3. Launch definitive.xex.

If you want the base game hidden from the dashboard, back up default.xex first and then rename definitive.xex to default.xex.

Install for Xenia on PC

1. Download the prebuilt ZIP from the GitHub release.
2. Copy xenia/patches/373307D9 - Dance Central 3.patch.toml from the ZIP into your Xenia installation's patches/ folder.
3. Launch definitive.xex in Xenia.

If you renamed definitive.xex to default.xex, launch that file instead.

What the ZIP contains

• definitive.xex for the rebuilt game
• gen/ with the generated patch data
• xenia/patches/373307D9 - Dance Central 3.patch.toml for Xenia users
