Problems
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|

Flickering Skybox
The skybox on this title sometimes flickers /w Dolphin's default settings. Disabling dual core might fix this.

DirectX11

Anti-Aliasing
Using anti-aliasing will not render shadows appropriately.

NA
The below Action Replay code will allow the NA version of the game to run at 60 FPS, and will fall back to 30 FPS during prerendered cutscenes to avoid playing them at double speed.

$60 FPS 084dc82a 00000001 0456c364 00000002 104dc82a 00000001 0456c364 00000001

This code may cause issues with timers in the game. A workaround is to use the below Action Replay code for freezing timers.

Additionally, you may need to experiment with the CPU Clock Settings to actually achieve 60 FPS in the game. Information on modifying the game-specific ini file for CPU Overclocking can be found here.

Widescreen
The Widescreen Hack works well for this game with no significant issues, and will work for arbitrary aspect ratios, including ultrawide and superwide. It does not prevent on-screen culling, so objects at the edges of the screen may disappear at wider aspect ratios. Additionally, it does not prevent HUD stretching, and the stars in the skybox may appear as rectangles at very wide aspect ratios.

As of 5.0-11841, the Widescreen Hack is broken in Spider-Man 2. The below Action Replay code can be used to work around the issue.

NA Widescreen Hack Fix
The below Action Replay code allows the NA version of the game to work with the Widescreen Hack in newer releases of Dolphin.

If using this, be sure to enable the Widescreen Hack, and set the game to force your desired Aspect Ratio. If you wish to use an ultrawide/superwide ratio, such as 21:9 or 32:9, you can set the Aspect Ratio option to "Stretch to Window". Information on modifying the game-specific ini file for enabling the Widescreen Hack can be found here, and information to do the same to force the Aspect Ratio for the game can be found here.
