Dethrace NX is a Nintendo Switch port of the 1997 vehicular combat game Carmageddon.
It is developed based on the open source reverse-engineering project dethrace.
Installation
Game content
Dethrace does not ship with any content. You'll need access to the data from the original game. If you don't have an original CD then you can buy Carmageddon from GoG.com.
dethrace also supports the various freeware demos:
Create folder sdmc:/switch/dethrace, put .nro and data files (CARMA folder contents) to it.
CD audio
Dethrace supports the GOG cd audio convention. If there is a MUSIC folder in the Carmageddon folder containing files Track02.ogg, Track03.ogg etc, then Dethrace will use those files in place of the original CD audio functions.
