Common questions

How do I update my existing XC2 Recomp installation when a new version comes out?

Download the latest XC2-Setup-0.1.12-windows.zip (or XC2-Setup-0.1.12-linux.AppImage), start XC2-Setup, keep your existing install folder selected, and press Start. The installer reads xc2-install.json, preserves your extracted romfs/, aoc/, profile/ saves, and xc2.ini settings, and relinks xc2.exe using build-cache/objects/ in under a minute.

Where can I check the sister XCX Recomp changelog?
