Case study

OpenSpidey: a native Spider-Man (2000) PC rebuild

OpenSpidey rebuilds the PC version of Spider-Man (2000) as a native SDL3 and OpenGL application using an attributed earlier decompilation and the player's own game data. Its setup imports files from a disc ISO or installed folder, and a comparison tool places original game functions beside rebuilt DLL functions. The author describes the game restoration and matching decompilation as unfinished.
