Mega Man 2
Game: Mega Man 2 (NES / Famicom, 1989)
A static recompilation of the US NES version of Mega Man 2 for Windows. The game’s 6502 instructions were translated ahead of time into C, with no interpreter, dynamic recompiler, or emulator fallback, and that generated code (20,149 entry points) is in the repository; the rest is the Windows executable, with the MMC1 mapper, the PPU, the APU, and controllers, using SDL3. It comes with a portable launcher with video, audio, and controller binding settings, quick saves, and screenshots. The README doesn’t say what fails or whether the game can be finished. The latest release, 1.2.0 (August 29), is the third and publishes a Windows zip and a source zip, about 1.5 and 1 MB.
You needYour own copy of Mega Man 2 (USA, NTSC) for the NES in .nes format, placed in the Rom folder next to the launcher, which validates the file. Plus Windows 10 or 11.
