"Additive Kombat"
If you’ve been following the GIT you might have noticed that MooglyGuy
checked in a change to the Midway Zeus driver to improve the blending /
transparency effects in Mortal Kombat 4.
Mortal Kombat 4 makes rather heavy using of the blending in places, applying
it to a large number of particle effects, projectiles etc.
Pictures convey this far better words, so in short we’ve gone from this

to this

He advises me to make clear that the code is still a little hacky (the bit
that controls the blending hasn’t been fully isolated) so it might not alwas
be 100% correct, but as you can see, his work has made a dramatic improvement
to the visuals in a driver that had been left untouched for far too long.
Note, this doesn’t improve Crusin’ Exotica, that runs on Zeus 2 which is
significantly different.
