Ape Escape Recompiled v0.0.5
Pre-release
🕹️ Controls fix — phantom camera rotation
The camera no longer spins on its own, and the analog stick no longer rotates it. On a controller, pushing the left stick to move — or even slight stick centre-drift at rest — was also being read as D-pad left/right, which Ape Escape uses to rotate the camera. So the camera drifted constantly and swung whenever you moved.
The left stick and the D-pad are now independent, exactly like a real DualShock: the left stick moves (analog only) and the D-pad rotates the camera. If your camera was rotating with no input, this release is the fix.
Settings and saves carry over. Thanks to VGEsoterica for the report.
Everything from v0.0.4 (critical disc-image boot fix), v0.0.3 (L3/R3 stick clicks), and v0.0.2 (memory-card save/load) carries forward. You supply your own PlayStation BIOS and Ape Escape (USA, SCUS-94423) disc — see START_HERE.txt in the zip. An analog controller is strongly recommended.
