Mega Man 2 Static Recomp 1.2.0

Mega Man 2 Static Recomp 1.2.0 adds the first widescreen gameplay implementation and brings the portable Windows frontend up to the current static-recomp standard.

Changes:

• Added Wide Screen (v1), presenting supported horizontal gameplay at 398x240 with 71 additional pixels on each side; unsupported, vertical, menu and boss-room contexts retain the original centered 256x240 presentation.
• Preserved native sprites and Mega Buster projectiles in the extended gameplay area without stretching the original image.
• Standardized Welcome, About, Settings, Controls and Audio windows, including Escape-to-close behavior.
• Unified persistent frontend, display, audio and input options in settings.ini; Wide Screen (v1) remains disabled by default.
• Added exact completed-frame screenshot capture plus portable Screenshots and Snapshots folders.
• Added deterministic lossless static-core compaction: all 20,149 explicit bank:PC identities remain, represented through 96 fixed generated helpers with no interpreter, decoder, JIT or fallback.
• Reduced the production core library by 52.00% and Launcher.exe by 35.71%.
• Updated version, build, technical and release documentation for 1.2.0.

Verification:

• Clean Visual Studio 2022 x64 /W4 /WX Release build passed.
• GitHub Windows CI passed all 29 portable ROM-free tests on the tagged commit.
• The complete local 45-test suite passed, including the multipart Metal Man gameplay route.
• A 4,000-frame controlled gameplay comparison was byte-identical before and after compaction.
• Native 256x240 and Wide Screen (v1) 398x240 screenshot reviews passed.
• Release archives contain no ROM, generated settings or test data.
