Issues Fixed

Game doesn't recognize all inputs from XInput controller

Use AntiMicro to map unrecognized inputs to keyboard and mouse
  1. Replace the [KEYBOARD], [JOYSTICK], and [MOUSE] sections of <path-to-game>\game.ini with the below:
    
    [KEYBOARD]
    JUMP=49
    PUNCH=96
    KICK=98
    WEB=100
    CROUCH=3
    START=46
    WEB_SWING=97
    WEB_ZIP=99
    WEB_MODIFIER=37
    CAMERA_LOCK=94
    TARGET_CAMERA=101
    UP=23
    DOWN=19
    LEFT=1
    RIGHT=4
    R_UP=86
    R_DOWN=85
    R_LEFT=84
    R_RIGHT=83
    [JOYSTICK]
    JUMP=1
    PUNCH=3
    KICK=2
    WEB_ATTACK=4
    CROUCH=9
    START=8
    WEB_SWING=-1
    WEB_ZIP=6
    WEB_MODIFIER=7
    CAMERA_LOCK=5
    TARGET_CAMERA=10
    [MOUSE]
    JUMP=-1
    PUNCH=-1
    KICK=-1
    WEB_ATTACK=-1
    CROUCH=-1
    START=-1
    WEB_SWING=-1
    WEB_ZIP=-1
    WEB_MODIFIER=-1
    CAMERA_LOCK=-1
    TARGET_CAMERA=-1
    
  2. Set up AntiMicro with this profile.
  3. If you like, you can also set AntiMicro to use this profile when the game is run, as well as set AntiMicro to run on PC startup, both from AntiMicro's settings, if you want to automate the process for playing the game.

Notes

This should be a rough mapping of a standard XInput controller to the PS2 controls based on the locations of the inputs on the Xbox 360 controller and the PS2 controller (A->X, LT->L2, etc). The PS2 control scheme can be found here.
Because of differences in the PC version of the game, there are still a few significant differences in controls from console versions.
  • On PC the gamepad recenter camera control is always tied to the web action control (LT in this control scheme) like the "classic" control scheme on consoles.
  • On PC, the yo-yo spidey move is LT+RB which maps to the "enhanced" control scheme from the console versions.
  • The dodging moves do not work.

Cutscenes are distorted

Use dgVoodoo2 and DxWnd
  1. Set up dgVoodoo2.
    1. Download dgVoodoo 2.
    2. Copy the DLL files from the MS/x86 folder to <path-to-game>, where SpiderMan.exe is located.
    3. Open dgVoodooCpl.exe. You may want to make a separate profile for the game (hit the Add button at the top of the window, and select the <path-to-game> folder, which you copied the DLL files into).
    4. Under the General tab, set the Appearance to Fullscreen and Scaling mode to Stretched, keep Aspect Ratio.
    5. Under the DirectX tab, set the Resolution to the resolution you intend to run the game with, and uncheck the "dgVoodoo Watermark" option. You can also set the Filtering option here if you want to force anisotropic filtering.
    6. Click the OK button.
  2. Set up DxWnd.
    1. Download DxWnd.
    2. Run dxwnd.exe and go to Edit->Add, then in the Main tab, type in a Name, and for Path browse to and select <path-to-game>\SpiderMan.exe.
    3. In the same Main tab, make sure under Generic, Fullscreen only is checked, and under Position, Desktop center is selected.
    4. In the Video tab, set Window style to default, Window size & position to Anchored, and Screen resolution to Native.
    5. Click the OK button.
  3. Now as long as DxWnd is running when you launch the game, the cutscenes should be visible and stretched to your screen, though they will still be stretched out if you have the game set to run in any aspect ratio besides 4:3.
  4. If you are using a 16:9 aspect ratio, you can download modified cutscene files that are stretched properly for 16:9 aspect ratios to watch the cutscenes in-game without any distortion.
    1. Go to <path-to-game> and make a backup of the movies folder.
    2. Download these modified .BIK files and place them in the movies folder (replacing the old files, which you should have backed up).

Notes

If you like, you can automate launching DxWnd on your PC's startup by placing a shortcut to dxwnd.exe in your Start Menu's Startup folder, and changing the shortcut's properties. In the Properties window of the shortcut, in the Shortcut tab, change Target by adding /T to the end of the text in the field. The resulting field should look something like "<path-to-DxWnd>\dxwnd.exe" /T. The /T parameter launches DxWnd in the system tray.

Issues Unresolved

Crash/black screen with resolutions higher than 640x480 in Windows 10

If the game is set to a resolution higher than 640x480 in Windows 10, the game will attempt to change resolutions and might freeze on a black screen after the intro movies, when starting or loading a game, or even whenever you navigate through the menus to watch movies/cutscenes. The only solution so far is to play in 640x480. Unknown if there is a fix to play at higher resolutions.
Play in 640x480[citation needed]
Try using dgVoodoo2 and DxWnd[citation needed]

A possible workaround is to run the game using dgVoodoo2 and DxWnd. Follow the method for setup in Cutscenes are distorted.
