Crash Team Racing Port

About

CTR Native is a native port of Crash Team Racing (PS1, 1999), built on top of the CTR-ModSDK decompilation project. It builds for Windows (MSVC x86 or MinGW i686), Linux and Android, and uses SDL3 compiled from vendored source. Android currently builds 32-bit armeabi-v7a and x86 APKs and requires an OpenGL ES 3 capable device.

Getting started

For normal play you need the game executable and your own NTSC-U retail CTR disc image saved as assets/ctr-u.bin. It must be a raw single-track BIN with MODE2/2352 sectors, because a cooked .iso loses the XA/STR data needed for audio and video. On Android, pick your own raw NTSC-U BIN in the in-app setup screen.

Known issues & limitations

• A cooked 2048-byte ISO does not preserve the sector data needed for audio and video playback.

What you need to run it

Features

• Extracted assets can override disc-image files for development, modding, and debugging.

How to install

1. On Android, select your raw NTSC-U BIN through the in-app setup screen; the app copies it into its own storage.

Status & roadmap

• Planned work is cleaning up the game/ copies and reducing 32-bit host-pointer assumptions in PSX-shaped data.

Additional notes

Asset override

Extracted asset files such as BIGFILE.BIG are still supported for development and modding, and override files from the disc image.
