📩 How to Install

NOTE: You WILL need a HACKED/MODDED (RGH or JTAG) Xbox 360 in order to play this mod. We hope this is clear.

  • Install your vanilla copy of Dance Central 3 to your console's hard drive.

    • In case anything goes wrong, we recommend that you rename default.xex to default_vanilla.xex.

  • Disable updates for Dance Central 3 in Aurora. Dance Central 3 Deluxe rolls TU1 into its base installation.

  • Download Dance Central 3 Deluxe.

    • Copy the contents of it to where your copy of Dance Central 3 is installed (we recommend using FTP to do so).
    • Select Yes to overwrite the files if it asks you to.

Sidenote: We also recommend clearing your system cache if this is your first time installing the mod.

  • Navigate to System Settings > Storage and press Y to clear the system cache.*

🔨 Building (Advanced)

Installing Python (Required)

  • Head to the Python downloads, download and install Python (version 3.9 or later).

Initializing the Repo

  • Go to the Releases of this repo and download _init_repo.py.
    • Make a new empty folder, put _init_repo.py in the folder, and run it. This will pull the repo down for you and make sure you're completely up to date. This will take some time.

The folder should look like this once it's done:
