CTR Native: a Crash Team Racing PC port from decompiled source

CTR Native ports the 1999 PlayStation game Crash Team Racing to Windows and Linux using source from the CTR-ModSDK decompilation. Its own native layer supplies audio, input, memory-card, CD, rendering, and PS1 interface support, with statically linked SDL3 and UDP netplay. Game assets are extracted from the user's NTSC-U disc.

Requirements & limits

Prerequisites: A Crash Team Racing NTSC-U retail disc image is required to extract the listed assets.
Prerequisites: Windows builds use MSYS2 and 32-bit MinGW; Linux builds require the documented multilib and system libraries.
Limits: The build currently uses 32-bit mode because some native paths retain low-address GPU link assumptions.
License: No licence file in the repository.
