Little Fighter 2 in the browser (+ R-LF2 download)

A static GitHub Pages site that:

• Plays the original Little Fighter 2 in the browser - it runs Windows 95 in the v86 x86 emulator (compiled to WebAssembly) and resumes from a saved state straight into the game.
• Offers Reinforced LF2 (R-LF2) as a download for Windows.

Why R-LF2 isn't playable in-browser (yet)

R-LF2's "reinforced" sprite sheets are huge (up to 4000x1200 px). Windows 95/98-era DirectDraw - which is what the in-browser emulator can run - cannot create surfaces that large, so R-LF2 fails on load with "Couldn't create art surface". The original LF2's sprites are small enough (~640 px), so it runs fine. R-LF2 would need Windows 2000/XP-era DirectDraw, which is too heavy to emulate smoothly in a browser. It runs perfectly on a normal Windows PC, hence the download.

Files

• index.html - the page; loads the disk image, resumes the state, shows the R-LF2 download.
• windows95.img.part{1,2,3}.gz - Windows 95 + LF2 disk image, gzip-compressed and split into sub-100 MB parts. The browser concatenates and decompresses them with DecompressionStream.
• win95-lf2-default.bin.zst - v86 saved state; resumes instantly into running LF2.
• LF2_Reinforced.zip - the R-LF2 installer offered for download.
• libv86.js, v86.wasm, seabios.bin, vgabios.bin - the v86 runtime + BIOS.

memory_size in index.html (64 MB) must match the saved state.
