Release History
V1.0 November 2019
* Initial Release

V2.0 December 2022
Bug Fixes:
* Greatly reduced the graphical glitches that occur when two Goros appear on the screen at the same time.
* Fixed bug where if Shang Tsung performed a fatality as Scorpion, Sub-Zero or Kano, the announcer would say "Scorpion/Sub-Zero/Kano Wins".
* Fixed bug where announcer would say "Finish Her" if Shang Tsung was defeated while morphed into Sonya.
* Fixed bug where, in a Shang Tsung mirror match, Shang Tsung's name in Player 1's health bar was cut off.
* Fixed bug that would cause player controlled Reptile to load in with Scorpion's pallete on Round 1 when facing CPU Reptile.
New Features:
* Added compatability with the Zeldix MSU1 patch by Kurrono,  Relikk and Conn. Find it here: https://www.zeldix.net/t1663-mortal-kombat
* Added vs screen portaits for Goro, Shang Tsung and Reptile.
* Added new alternate palettes for Goro, Shang Tsung and Reptile.
* Modified logic that controls the loading of the alternate palette around Shang Tsung's morphs.
* Added "Random Morph" and "Random Morph + Attack" moved to Shang Tsung's arsenal.
* Shang Tsung can now move both forward and backwards. Goro remains unable to move backwards as this is a feature rather than a bug!
* Removed the need for player controlled Reptile to manually change stances. In effect, he now has access to both Scorpion and Sub-Zero's movesets at all times now.
* Play on to find more added features. ;)

==========================================================================================

Listed below are the currently known issues:
* When playing on ZSNES the game has a tendancy to crash when morphing into Raiden as Shang Tsung in Single Player Mode. I have made attempts to fix this bug, but have so far been unsuccessful as the ZSNES debug tools crash when I attempt to use them. As this bug does not occur on any other emulator or on actual hardware, and as ZSNES has not been updated since 2007, I'm forced to conclude that it is a bug with the ZNSES emulation.
