# Mega Man 2 NESRecomp

A native PC port of **Mega Man 2** (NES) created with [NESRecomp](https://github.com/mstan/nesrecomp).

The original 6502 code is statically recompiled to C and compiled into a normal Windows executable. This is not an emulator. The cycle-accurate backend handles the game logic, MMC1 mapper, PPU, and APU. A modern launcher (adapted from the Legend of Zelda NESRecomp project) provides the frontend, ROM verification, controller support, and integer scaling.

## Status

- Playable with the cycle backend
- Mega Man 2 (USA) ROM verified on launch
- Full game is playable
- Launcher rebranded with Mega Man 2 title and box art
- 6× integer scaling supported
