Main Features:

-I remade every bio and ending screen using the arcade gfx as base. Added the 2 absent screens from the Kano ending
-Every graphic made by PROBE software was changed or improved by Master Linkuei, Chev Chelios and Danilo Dias to look more accurate to the Arcade.
-A lot of new details for the stages
-New animation to courtyard (monks and tsung claps), Palace Gates (Flame), Warriors Shrine (Flame during Ermac fight), Throne Room (Shang Tsung head+Shang Tsung clap).
-Added +80 sound samples from the Arcade!
-BillyTime!Games added a SRAM feature to save the Winning Streak list.
-Improved gameplay removing delays and improving the timing.
-Option to change between original Music order or a more accurate one.

Common questions:
How to find Ermac?
