Guide Author: MewLew

Requirements

  • Xbox Series S/X.
  • Dependency - Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.appx
  • External Drive - Required to store your game assets.
  • Game assets.

Obtaining the Game Assets

  1. Go to the Ring Racers GitHub releases.
  2. Download the Dr.Robotnik.s-Ring-Racers-Assets.zip.
  3. Extract the contents of the zip file.

Preparing an External Drive

  1. Create a folder named ringracers (use lowercase for compatibility).
  2. Place the extracted contents of the Dr.Robotnik.s-Ring-Racers-Assets.zip into the ringracers folder.

Controls

  • A = Accelerate
  • X = Brake / Reverse
  • B = Look Behind
  • Y = Spin Dash

  • LT = Use Ring / Insta-Whip
  • RT = Drift
  • RB = Z/Skip Text

Additional Notes

  • Vsync is forced on in the OpenGL driver. Enabling in-game Vsync may cause erratic behavior with interpolation, so it’s recommended to leave it off.
  • Performance can vary depending on the track. Using 1280x800 GL resolution seems to be a good balance for performance.
  • Enabling 3D models may reduce the framerate.
  • Online play works with dedicated servers. To host your own server, you may need to forward ports to the Xbox.
    • Use the software renderer for online play, as Legacy GL is highly unstable on this platform.
  • This is not an official project by Kart Krew, so please do not report bugs related to this port to the main repository.
