Some important notes:
- RB3DX works on hard-modded (RGH/JTAG) systems, as well as software-exploited systems via Bad Update. You will need one of these in order for this to work!
- The Games on Demand (GoD) version of Rock Band 3 is NOT supported! The game must be in extracted folder format; you should see a file called
default.xex - Do not use ISO2GOD after you copy the patch files, if you do this you won't be able to save your settings or search for songs.
Install your copy of Rock Band 3 to your console through Aurora. This is required!
- We recommend that you rename the
default.xexfile todefault_vanilla.xex, just in case.
