Spider Man and Spider Man 2: Enter Electro Recompilation

About

OpenSpideyPS1 provides native recompilations of Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro for Windows, built with RecompOne. The PlayStation code is translated to C# ahead of time and runs against a shared runtime that implements the original console services, with modern rendering and higher-detail character assets. The README says both games reach gameplay but it makes no claim of complete compatibility.

How it differs from the original

The README lists a modern renderer with perspective-correct textures, no PS1 dithering, increased internal resolution and FXAA; widescreen gameplay; Dreamcast character upgrades while environments stay the original PS1 ones; twenty built-in Spider-Man costumes including ten imported from the sequel; and costume mod support up to 60 per game.

Getting started

Download the Windows x64 package for your game, extract it keeping the mods folder beside the executable, and launch SpiderMan.exe or SpiderMan2.exe. Select your own USA PlayStation BIN/CUE or ISO (SLUS-00875 for the first game, SLUS-01378 for the second); setup extracts the assets inside the game window and then starts the game.

Known issues & limitations

• Environments remain the original PS1 environments.
