About

Crash Team Racing is a racing game originally released in 1999. CTR-ModSDK is a toolkit for creating C-language mods for Crash Team Racing (1999), built on top of the separate psx-modding-toolchain project. It includes example mods, each documented with its own readme, and a Ghidra-derived source tree used for community reverse-engineering work, which has since been migrated to separate CTR-in-C and ctr-native repositories.

Getting started

Requires installing psx-modding-toolchain first, then cloning this repository into its games directory. Example mods are in the mods folder, and building uses the toolchain's build.bat script to compile changes and produce a test ISO.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game. Modding requires the original Crash Team Racing game to extract and modify game data.

Features

The toolkit allows creating mods for the game in C.
