Overview
CTR Native is a native port of Crash Team Racing for Windows and Linux, built from the game source recovered by the CTR-ModSDK decompilation project. It uses SDL3 and is a single static executable, with parts of its platform layer derived from PsyCross.
The game reads everything from your disc image, including streamed music, voices and the Scrapbook video. Extracted files can override the disc for modding and debugging. Recent betas fixed Adventure mode start states, cutscene and menu accuracy and fullscreen toggling.
The port is in beta, and releases are marked as pre-releases. The download contains no game data. It needs Crash Team Racing (USA), dumped from your own disc.
