Mega Man 2 (NES) Static Recomp
Developer: Junior-Jones
Port Type: Recompilation
Source Code: GitHub
Page Updated:

What you need: A ROM of Mega Man 2 (USA), dumped from your own cartridge. Only the exact supported version is accepted.

Mega Man 2 (NES) Static Recomp is a native Windows port of Mega Man 2, made by Junior-Jones as a fully static recompilation: the game’s CPU instructions were translated to C ahead of time, and there is no interpreter or emulator fallback. If the game reaches code the recompiler did not cover, it stops with an error instead. The graphics, sound and other hardware are reimplemented natively.

It adds an optional widescreen mode that shows 71 more pixels of real stage, enemies and shots on each side, keyboard and gamepad controls, fullscreen, snapshots and screenshots.

It is a very new project with few users so far, and the repository includes the generated code. The download contains no game data. It needs Mega Man 2 (USA), dumped from your own cartridge.

How to set it up

  1. Download the Windows zip and extract it.
  2. Put your ROM in the Rom folder, or use Browse ROM in the launcher.
  3. Run Launcher.exe. The ROM is checked before play is enabled.
  4. Escape switches between the game and the launcher. F1 shows the shortcut guide.
