Rock Band Blitz

Emma edited this page Mar 9, 2025 · 1 revision

The "DaTArrest" exploit by ihatecompvir and Emma (IPG) in Rock Band Blitz can be used to run the BadUpdate exploit.

Note

The exploit works on both the arcade trial of the game and the full version.

Warning

If you have a collection of Rock Band 1, 2 or 3 DLC or custom songs, please move them to another drive and keep that drive disconnected when running the exploit.

Running the Exploit

Rock Band Blitz keeps its menu animating and music playing while the exploit is running. If at any point the menu freezes or music stops, the exploit has failed and you can reboot.

If your game freezes immediately at "Discovering Downloadable Content"

Try to run the exploit again. You might need to wait a few seconds before pressing A to continue.

If your game freezes after a progress bar partially completes at "Discovering Downloadable Content"

This probably means you have Rock Band DLC or custom songs installed, so the exploit will not work. Move all your Rock Band 1, 2 and 3 DLC to another drive, and disconnect that drive before running the exploit.

If your game freezes immediately at "Running exploit..."

Make sure that you only have 1 USB storage device inserted and it contains the "BadUpdatePayload" folder at the root, containing the BadUpdateExploit bin files from the "Rock Band Blitz" folder in your download.

If your game freezes after the ring of light changes colour

The Bad Update exploit failed. See the How to Use page for more info.

If your game goes straight to the main menu

The exploit did not run. Delete your "Rock Band Blitz Library File" and make sure you have the exploit savegame in the correct place.
