# OCTR: a native CTR Nitro-Fueled PC port with online play

> OCTR adapts Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled's PS4 executable to Windows and Linux while running its x86-64 code directly on the host CPU. A replacement PS4 runtime and shadPS4-derived Vulkan renderer support the game, and this fork adds community-server races, private rooms, friends, and the Pit Stop.
