Megaman X: Recompiled Release

SNESRecomp's second fully playable game, and the first recompiled without an explicit disassembly as reference.
This release post marks a milestone for the SNES ecosystem: Mega Man X becomes SNESRecomp's second fully playable game, completable start to finish as a native executable.
The technical significance is in how it got there. Super Mario World, the framework's first title, leaned on an extensively documented disassembly. Mega Man X is the first game recompiled without an explicit disassembly as reference, which meant the toolchain had to stand on its own analysis rather than borrowing structure from years of community reverse engineering. Clearing that bar suggested the pipeline could reach games that nobody has ever picked apart by hand.
As with every release in the ecosystem, the build ships without game data: players supply their own US ROM, and the recompiled runtime does the rest.
