WIP:
- 2nd November 2010: Smitdogg - We got Bonze Adventure so we can decap the C-Chip.
- 17th July 2010: Smitdogg - The C-Chip from Bonze Adventure was bad so we need another one for decapping. If you have one you want to donate, let me know and/or be on the lookout for a PCB for sale.
- 11th July 2010: Dr. Decapitator - Work has started on the C-Chip that Taito used in games such as Bonze Adventure.
- 0.133u1: Renamed (bonzeado) to (bonzeadvo) and (bonzeadu) to (bonzeadvu).
- 26th July 2008: Mr. Do - Guru sent me a bunch of scans of instruction cards he did a while ago. For today, we have JPN version of Bonze Adventure.
- 0.123u3: RansAckeR added DIP locations to Bonze Adventure.
- 12th May 2006: Guru - Bonze Adventure (Taito) arrived from Japan. The game is not specifically needed, but I will dump and document it anyway.
- 0.105u3: Bryan McPhail fixed Bonze Adventure levels 2 & 9.
- 0.105u1: Bryan McPhail added clone Bonze Adventure (World, Older). Changed parent description to 'Bonze Adventure (World, Newer)'. Bryan also accurated C-Chip emulation in Bonze Adventure to fix protection problems (no more missing or made up data, all data extracted from working PCB).
- 9th April 2006: Bryan McPhail - Extracted all the C-Chip data from Bonze Adventure, making the game properly playable all the way through (restart points in later levels were wrong and would cause the game to fail).
- 0.57: Improved C-Chip simulation in Bonze Adventure [Stefan Jokisch, Ruben Panossian]. Fixed a garbage line when you lose a life vs. level 3 boss in Bonze Adventure and clones. Changed visible area to 320x224 and fixed rom names.

- 16th April 2001: Yochizo sent in drivers for Bonze's Adventure / Jigoku Meguri and Exzisus.
