# Dimensions Recompiled: native Windows build of LEGO Dimensions

> Dimensions Recompiled is a native Windows build of the Xbox 360 game LEGO Dimensions. ReXGlue translates the PowerPC executable to C++ ahead of time, and the GPU command stream is translated to Direct3D 12 at runtime. DimensionsRecompiled-Setup.exe takes an extracted original-release folder that contains Default.xex, GAME.DAT, and GAME.HDR, plus Title Update 23. The installer refuses a different build or another title update. A companion app can stand in for the Toy Pad, and the Wii U, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One pads are also supported. Releases are built from the toypad-ui branch of NeverCookFirst/rexglue-sdk.
