ssrecomp v0.2.6: Pokémon SoulSilver statically recompiled for single-screen PCs and handhelds

ClickingMaster's ssrecomp is a native build of Pokémon SoulSilver for single-screen devices. The DS game's ARM9 code is statically recompiled to C++ from the build output of pret's pokeheartgold decompilation, while a vendored melonDS core handles graphics, sound, saves and the ARM7. The overworld is drawn across a 16:9 screen and battles get touch-screen buttons; v0.2.6 (Oct 16, prerelease) fixes controllers after v0.2.5 added widescreen battles. The README says it was made with heavy use of AI (Claude Code) and warns not to submit any of it to pret. It follows Gen2Recomp, the Lua rebuild of Gold, Silver and Crystal already on the wire.
