Ape Escape Recompiled v0.0.3

Caution

This build does not start on user machines - it exits silently moments after launch (a reference file needed by the runtime's text-integrity guard only exists in development checkouts). Download v0.0.4 instead.

🆕 L3 / R3 (stick clicks) now work

Ape Escape uses the stick-click buttons for core moves, and they previously could not be produced by any input device. They are now first-class across the whole input stack:

• Controller: clicking the left/right stick sends L3/R3 out of the box (l3 = leftstick, r3 = rightstick in input.ini, remappable).
• Keyboard: bound to T / Y by default (continuing the Q/W/E/R shoulder row), rebindable on the launcher's Controls page.
• Existing installs pick the new defaults up automatically unless you had explicitly set l3/r3 in your own input.ini/keybinds.ini.

Everything from v0.0.2 (memory-card save/load, FMV+audio, OpenGL/Software renderers, instant boot, experimental widescreen) carries forward unchanged.

As always: bring your own legally obtained BIOS (SCPH1001.BIN) and Ape Escape (USA, SCUS-94423) disc image — see START_HERE.txt in the zip.
