A rather simple patch mainly focused on restoring all the intended game content that, caused by dev oversights, or, exclusivity contracts of that time, is normally unavailable.
It also fixes some small aesthetic and harmless (but annoying) bugs.

Moon Knight :moonk: still has a problem when loading the team with him. If you enter character selection and switch more than once (PS2 console and emulator more than twice) with him in the team, the game crashes. Trying to figure out the problem and why it happens, I came to the conclusion that it's something involving memory. There's some broken file of his (not animation or skeleton) that, when removing or loading the character from the game, the "console" can't clear the memory, causing the game to break. I even managed to make the first costume not break, but the rest ends up crashing...
My guess is to recreate Moon Knight, based on another character, using all the rest of Moon Knight's parts, because voice, skeleton, texture, and ability don't cause the game to break, but some part of the character's base does...
