# CTR-NitroFueled-PC: a Windows port of Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled

> CTR-NitroFueled-PC ports the PS4 release of Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled to Windows 10 and 11 using the player's decrypted game files. It executes the original x86-64 game code on the CPU, supplies a replacement PS4 runtime and translates graphics through a shadPS4-derived Vulkan renderer; the fork adds the Windows loader and system layer.
