About

C1 is a port of Crash Bandicoot to C, designed to compile for both PSX and PC, though only the PC-specific code is working at present. The README lists code as 100% ported and functionality as 78%, with the game only partially playable and a number of identified issues.

Getting started

Compilation has only been tested on Ubuntu or Debian and needs a 32-bit GNU toolchain, OpenGL 2.0, SDL 2 and FluidSynth; only 32-bit executables are supported. Run ./c1, which boots into level 25, the title sequence.

Known issues & limitations

  • The game is only partially playable and has identified issues.
  • The PSX build currently does not work.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (Linux version).

  • You need the game disc's asset files from the `/S0`, `/S1`, `/S2`, and `/S3` directories for the game to function.

How to install

  1. From the main project directory, run `./c1`.

Controls

  • X is Z; square is X; circle is C; triangle is V.
  • L1 is A; R1 is S; L2 is Q; R2 is W.
  • Start is Enter; select is Space.
  • Esc toggles the in-game GUI; Tab toggles its keyboard focus.
  • Keyboard controls map PlayStation buttons to keys, for example X to Z, square to X, circle to C and triangle to V; Esc toggles the in-game GUI.

Summarised from the project's README.

Additional notes
