The DLC for Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is monumental. The base game includes songs from FFI through FFXV, but the Season Passes add tracks from spin-offs, sequels, and even other Square Enix properties.
Even with the right files, users have reported problems. Here are the top three:
Issue 1: “Software closed because an error occurred” after loading a DLC song.
Fix: This usually means your sigpatches are outdated. Update to the latest Hekate/Atmosphere package. Also, ensure you have the matching update for the song’s release wave. DLC from Season Pass 2 absolutely requires Update 1.0.3+. theatrhythm final bar line switch nsp update dlc
Issue 2: DLC songs show in tracklist but are greyed out.
Fix: Reinstall the DLC NSPs using Goldleaf with “Ticket Bleach” option enabled. Or delete the “0100A6801A572000” folder in /atmosphere/contents/ and reinstall.
Issue 3: Game boots but has no audio on certain NSP dumps.
Fix: This is a rarity but happens with corrupted base NSPs. Verify your dump against Redump.org or source from a different release group. The audio in Final Bar Line uses 5.1 LPCM; ensure your Switch audio settings are set to “Stereo” if connected via HDMI. The DLC for Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is monumental
Difficulty: Basic → Expert → Ultimate → Supreme. Supreme charts are absurdly hard – perfect for veterans. NSP/emu players can use cheats (EdiZon) to auto-play or unlock all songs instantly, but that ruins the fun.
RPG elements: You form a party of 4 characters, each with abilities that trigger during songs (heal, damage, XP boost). This adds surprising depth and replayability. Difficulty: Basic → Expert → Ultimate → Supreme
Song list highlights:
Without DLC: Still a 30+ hour game.
With DLC: 80+ hours, and one of the best rhythm game libraries ever assembled.
