I have written a portable Fasttracker II clone in C using SDL 2. Here's a screenshot. What is Fasttracker II? Read about it on Wikipedia.

Note: If you have more than one monitor connected to your PC, and they use different refresh rates, you might get some program issues!

FT2 clone v2.22 download: (19th of July 2026 18:36 - GMT +2 - changelog)

Windows (Windows 7 SP1 and later)
Windows 32-bit (Windows 7 SP1 and later. Only use this one if really needed. May falsely detect as a virus!)
macOS - Intel and Apple silicon (universal) (OS X 10.11 and later - read Mac notices below!)
Linux packages for amd64/x86\_64 (not supported by me, I'm also not sure which file you need)

Source code and more info can be found over at GitHub. Please read "HOW-TO-COMPILE.txt". Compiles on Linux.

Windows important notice:

If ALT+F4/ALT+F5 (copy/paste block) doesn't work and you have an NVIDIA GPU, you need to make sure

macOS/OS X important notices:

To be able to actually run the program, you need to right click the .app/program and click "Open". This is needed just once. If using a modern version of macOS, you need to allow the program to run in System Settings -> Privacy & Security after having attempted to run it.
A lot of important keybindings in FT2 are occupied and has to be rerouted or removed in the OS
To toggle fullscreen mode, press ALT+Enter or Ctrl+Cmd+F

Linux important notice:

To get ALT+F4 (copy pattern) and ALT+F5 (paste pattern) working, you have to change these

keyboard shortcuts in your OS to something else.
