Downloading from the above link and replacing the seven (7) noted files above works perfectly! piCorePlayer 3.02 now boots on RPi 2 Model B V1.2! Note to others: since the space is limited in the boot (FAT) partition, I found that I had to delete the seven files before trying to replace them (I mounted the MicroSD from Windows). Hope this post helps others with their RPi 2 Model B V1.2 while we are awaiting the next release! Your superior technical guidance is appreciated.
