NESRecomp: From Faxanadu to 4 Supported Commercial Titles

NESRecomp grows from its Faxanadu proof of concept into a framework tested against four different commercial games.
Faxanadu proved NESRecomp could run one commercial game. Expanding to The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Mega Man 3 forced it to confront different mappers, code layouts, and ways of discovering functions in binaries that contain no symbols.
This four-title milestone is where the work began shifting from individual port experiments toward a shared NES toolchain. Later games would continue that process, but these were the first evidence that the initial result could travel.
