Ultimate Spider-Man Vita v1.1 by boomannotjeff

A PS Vita port of Ultimate Spider-Man (PC, 2005), made by statically recompiling the PC game's USM.exe to C (every x86 instruction becomes equivalent C, like N64Recomp / XenonRecomp), then running that on the Vita with its own Windows, Direct3D 9, DirectSound and input layer on top of vitaGL.

# Ultimate Spider-Man for PS Vita v1.1

A big speed and stability update. Install it over 1.0: your saves and game files stay where they are.

**You need your own copy of the PC game.** No game data is included. New here? See the install steps in the README.

## Faster
- Typical play now runs at about 25 fps with the default 30 fps cap, and often 28-30 in quieter spots.
- Cutscenes are much smoother.
- Game logic, drawing and the renderer now each get their own CPU core.
- Much of the busiest code was rewritten for the Vita's processor, and music and speech no longer pause the game while they load.
- The default resolution is now 960x544, because lowering it gained almost nothing.
- World textures are sharper.

## Fixed
- Quit now exits straight away instead of freezing (#6).
- The garbled map and the shards in cutscenes are gone (#2).
- Fixed a crash during busy gang fights (#5).
- Revert to Default no longer removes the web, zip and camera controls (#3).
- Spanish, French, German and Italian can now be picked in Settings. You need that language's PC game files (#1).
- The Options menu opens much faster.

## New in Settings
- Language
- Smoke and fire detail
- Map detail
- World texture detail
- Fog in cutscenes

If you changed settings in 1.0, press Triangle in Settings to get the new defaults.

## Known issues
- Stutter is still the biggest problem. Short hitches happen while the city streams in, and the worst ones come just after a mission ends.
- The heaviest scenes, such as big explosions, can drop to 10-15 fps.
- The map can run slowly when fully zoomed out.

## Reporting a bug
Turn on **DEBUG: write log.txt** in Settings and play until it happens. Then attach `ux0:data/usm/log.txt` to an issue, plus `ux0:data/usm/crash.txt` if the game stopped with an error.
