# Spider-Man 2 PS2 Recomp: a static recompilation checkpoint

> Spider-Man 2 PS2 Recomp applies static recompilation to the USA PlayStation 2 release SLUS-20776 for native PC execution. It combines a game-specific Ghidra function map with PS2Recomp source, runtime fixes and hardware comparison tests. The author reports that a native Windows build reaches the legal splash; the port is not playable.
