# Spider-Man (2002): a static recompilation of the Xbox game for Windows

> The Spider-Man (2002) PC port uses xboxrecomp to translate the original Xbox game's code to C for a native Windows executable. A user-supplied default.xbe and data directory feed the build; the repository adds game-specific rendering, controls, settings and optional enhancements generated from that copy.
