Thread 717686472

Let's race!

>Crash Team Racing (1999)
1) Get a Playstation BIOS file (Preferably SCPH-7501) and an original US CTR dump image from somewhere (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vbAs2itnOWirBSMufclOlfvWf_yAhaMr/)
2) Download Launcher from https://www.online-ctr.com/ and follow instructions
3) Configure your controls (or click automatic mapping when it prompts you)
4) Pick a server and room (or make a private one using your IP)
5) Share the info and wait for anons to join
As simple as that!

>Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled (NO CROSSPLAY)
1) Go to online
2) Wait while it loads
3) Matchmaking mode should probably connect anons together considering the online is not very active anymore, but if that doesn't work, players will need to add each other as friends in their platform of choice in order to make a Private Lobby
4) Wait a lot while it loads
5!) VERY IMPORTANT, since the game loads slightly better in newer consoles (PS5, Switch 2, Xbox X) it's –allegedly– inadvisable to skip the intro cutscene as it'll desync with other players and softlock the race lol

>The Karters
>Go online, choose a server region
>Choose "Make Room"
>There should be a code on the main screen, share that including the region in which you are hosting
>That's it
>Custom tracks should be automatically downloaded as they are picked, but characters and karts won't, so in order to see other player's mods you'll need to subscribe to them on the workshop yourself

Will be playing some CTROnline on US servers, Items 6 room in the meantime.

I'm also up for playing Nitro Fueled on Switch and The Karters 2 on PC.

I love CTR's intro screen. Why can't games have soul anymore?

How good is Coco for battles?

>>717687128
You could probably beat her, careful with the spin move though.

Wish I hadn't deleted all the CTR webms I've grabbed through the years.

Here's a good video for those who aren't familiar with CTR mechanics

Not at home at the moment but if this is still going in a couple hours I'll join, have a bump.

If that was an anon I just played it, then damn dude, you're really good lol.

>>717688225
Thanks anon, I appreciate it.

I'm still on ITEMS 6 on USA NY servers, waiting around since the lobby disbanded.

>>717687128
Battles? ...oh actual battles.

People are porting over other PS1 racer tracks to CTR, effectively meaning you can remake the entire games.

Some games of course had really shitty or bland tracks, but Speed Freaks is really good and the graphical style matches CTR. Good looking maps, fun tracks.

I think you could remake shit like MK64 and such in CTR. The thing is that CTR is super god damn fast since you can build speed constantly, meaning it's faster than a LOT of racers from that era.

>Google The Karters
>ctr inspired for pc
>wow cool
>click it
>nope

>>717689448
Feels pretty complete so far, though mods must help with that. The driving is great however, really loving it.

>>717689283
That's sick, I hope they can be implemented online easily.

>>717688642
4 anons(?) playing

>>717689448
The karters 2 is where shit's at baby

>>717690790
Make that 5

>>717689976
nigga what the fuck is that skip, I could've sworn that side of the ramp was walled off

Why do people do the unintended shortcuts when playing online?
Yes well done, you skipped half the track, now you will have to sit down and wait for everybody else that actually wants to race.

>>717691380
Taking a break to walk my dogs, hope the 6 people still playing were from here lol

Anybody know what the Retro lobbies do exactly?

Anybody up for playing some Karters? I wanna explore the game some more.

Looking for people who can contribute their time and effort in to CTR'99's continued development for the following areas:
>Audio - voice banks, track music, etc.
>Art - concept art; characters, tracks, etc.
>3D - modelling + texturing of characters and tracks
>Code (advanced users only) - working alongside others to research game code and being able to rewrite functions to match parity with the original game on the PS1, development of new functions to provide additional gameplay options.
If you don't wish to directly join efforts; genuine suggestions/feedback will be noted and looked in to.

>>717693864
Are you actually a dev?

>>717693864
Is it possible to mod reserves not depleting when u-turning, aka, the way Nitro Fueled does it?

>>717693938
More a spectator at this point due to burnout but have been brainstorming. Changed the hats I wear, so now I oversee the websites and community alongside rob and a few others.
>>717694704
I'm not really technical-minded, but it should be doable as foundational work continues.

waiting for the full PC version + modded servers.
have a bump though.

>>717694993
You meant the decompilation? how's that coming along?

Ok hosting some The Karters 2 on USA servers. I *think* it should be as easy as inputting the Room ID on the search room feature online.

>>717693864
Wish I could help but alas, I'm pretty much retarded on all those areas lol.

>>717692435
I remember seeing a screenshot from their discord explaining it but I forget.

>>717691816
I'm surprised it's actually "legal" since most of the time jumps as big as these go over a checkpoint and doesn't count as a lap.

>>717695314
havent heard any news in a while

Anybody playing currently?

You can check this for content updates as they come out;

>>717699514
Kek, nice, how do you install these? Do they work online?

>>717700179
No official OnlineCTR support for now with regards to the custom content, but you can use the website's patcher to apply a respective track / adventure / pack patch.

It makes all turbo pads be USF pads, pretty cool actually.
