Crowd Control Setup Guides

1. Start with the App

• Open the Crowd Control Desktop App

• Select Crash Team Racing from the game list

• Click Path Selected and choose (or create) an empty folder where you want CTR Native installed

• Follow the Auto Setup checklist (left side of the app) to download and install the CTR Native build

2. Test Before You Stream

• Add your own NTSC-U Crash Team Racing disc image as assets\ctr-u.bin inside your game folder

• Launch the game with Launch Game in the app

• Effects can only be tested after pressing Start Session in the app

• Always test a few effects before going live

• Skipping this can lead to broken streams and confusion!

Game Version

• Requires your own NTSC-U retail copy of Crash Team Racing for PS1

• The disc image must be a raw single-track BIN (MODE2/2352 sectors), named ctr-u.bin, inside an assets folder next to ctr_native.exe

• A cooked 2048-byte ISO does not work. Audio and video need the XA sector data.

Mod Compatibility

• CTR Native is a standalone Windows build of the game engine. It does not modify another game install.

• The Crowd Control integration is built into the Auto Setup download

• If you have issues, reinstall with the app's Auto Setup

Notes

• The game connects to the app automatically once the opening credits finish

• Save states: press F5 to save a quick state and F8 to load it

• The Crowd Control desktop app is Windows-only, so this build is Windows-only too

Uninstall

• In the CC desktop app, select your game

• Click the trash icon next to Mod Installed to run the uninstaller

• Your assets folder and disc image are not removed
