Crash Bandicoot 2 Recompiled 0.9.5

WORK IN PROGRESS. The game is playable from start to finish, with some minor
sound and graphical issues still to fix.

This package contains NO GAME DATA. You supply a disc image you already own,
and the game is built on this machine from it.

Nothing to install. The compiler this needs is included.


WHERE TO PUT THIS FOLDER  --  please read, it saves a wasted download

Use a short, plain-English path. "C:\Games\Crash2" is ideal.

  * A path with non-English letters WILL NOT BUILD. If your Windows username
    has an accent or is not in the Latin alphabet, do not unpack this into
    your Desktop, Documents or Downloads.
  * A deeply nested path will not build either. Windows has a limit.

The launcher checks both before it starts and tells you, but moving the folder
first is quicker.


"WINDOWS PROTECTED YOUR PC"

You will probably see that on the first run. This package is not code-signed -
signing certificates cost money - so Windows warns about it, as it does for
any small project.

  Click "More info", then "Run anyway".

Your antivirus may also object, because this package contains a C compiler
(that is how the game gets built on your machine). If it quarantines anything
under toolchain\, allow it or the build will fail partway.


  1. Run Crash2Launcher\Crash2Launcher.exe
  2. Setup -> choose your .cue (or .chd) -> Build the game
  3. Play

The first build takes several minutes and only happens once. It needs about
3 GB of free space while it runs.
